 | | al wazir: White's win isn't so clear after 15...Bxc3. If 16. Rc1, then 16...Bb2! |

| Feb-12-08 | | mrbiggs: Koeltsch: Hey guys, which line of the Evans should we play? Pfeiffer: Oooo, let's play the compromised defense.
Roesner: Yeah, that sounds good.
Koeltsch. The compromised defense!?
Pfeiffer: Yeah!
Roesner: Yeah!
lol |

| Feb-12-08 | | grasser: 15...Bxc3
16.Ne4 wins a piece. |

| Feb-12-08 | | moppa: What about 15...Bxc3 16.Ne4 Bxa1!? |

| Feb-12-08 | | PolishPentium: In light of the way the one player brutalizes the three, a better title for today's g.o.t.d. is "The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad Pig"...
For those of you who are curious, that's a children's story that turns the familiar nursery-rhyme on its head. Charming story, and with very funny accompanying pictures... |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: White also missed 15 Bxe7! instead of Rxe7, forking rook and queen. This also wins easily.
click for larger viewSince white did play 15 Rxe7?, black could not only have survived but also won material by answering with 15...d6! 
click for larger viewWhite's now unprotected rook and knight are simultaneously attacked. Assuming 16 Nxe7 Kxe7, black is now up two pawns.

| Feb-12-08 | | Chessmensch: Black moved only one pawn. I guess that devleloping pieces and controlling the center was not fashionable in Breslau back then. |

after 15. …d6, 16. ♘xf7+! seems to win for White: if 16. … ♕xe7 then 17. ♘h6+ leads to smothered mate via Philidor's Legacy. 16. … ♕xc3 meets the same fate (it's double-check, so Qxc4 is not possible, as does any other move that fails to stop the double-check. If 16. … ♖xf7 then 17. ♖e8 is mate.
I can't see any way to stop mate other than 16. ♕xf7, letting White take the Queen with a clear . |

Also, 15. ♗xe7?, gives up the advantage for White because after 15. … ♕xc3 the Bishop on e7 interferes with the back-rank mate played in the game. After the forced (as far as I can see; corrections welcome) sequence 16. ♕xc3 ♗xc3 17. ♗xf8 ♗xe1 (17. … ♗xa1 18. ♖e8!) 18. ♖xe1 ♔xf8 (18. ♗a3 ♗e2 and Black is just up two pawns) and now Black has regained the exchange and liquidated to the endgame, but it is not a win for Black because after 19. ♘xh7+ ♔g8 20. ♘g4 ♔f8 and the back-rank threat allows White to escape with a draw by perpetual. Black can also play 20. … g6 to go for the win, but after 21. ♖e8+ ♔g7 22. ♖f7 it doesn't look promising.
15. ♖xe7!, then, is the only winning move.
It turns out that young Riemann knew what he was doing, after all. |

Nxf7+! seems to win for White: if 16. … Qxe7 then 17. h6+ leads to smothered mate via Philidor's Legacy.> With all due respect to Philidor (whoever that is) 17...Kh8 and black is fine. There is no smothered mate available; this continuation only lets black gain more material.

| Feb-12-08 | | alexirc: yeah 15 Bxe7 would have been a game winner. |

| | Benzol: <Jimfromprovidence> <With all due respect to Philidor (whoever that is)...> Gently chuckles. <Jim> see François André Philidor if you really don't know. He was probably the strongest player to emerge before Morphy (please don't tell me you don't know him either). :) |

He was probably the strongest player to emerge before Morphy (please don't tell me you don't know him either).:)> Thanks for the link. I've seen the name mentioned on the site several times, but I did not know anything about the man. I have to admit I'm not a chess history buff. I did look up Phildor's mate, though, and it clearly does not apply in this continuation. If white plays on move 18 after 15…d6 16 Nxf7 Qxe7 17 Nh6+ Kh8 18 Qg8+?? then 18...Rxg8. White obviously can't play 19 Nf7 because the queen guards the mating square.

| Feb-13-08 | | kevin86: A quick win-via the last row mating technique. Bobby Fischer must have used it in his book.BOBBY FISCHER TEACHES CHESS. Two reasons:the book was about the type of mate in question. Also,the winner,like Fischer was a teen,like Fischer was when he started his brilliant career. |
|
| Feb-22-08 | | grasser: <al wazir> White does not have to pull back with 18.Re3 because the same theme is there.
18.Qxf7+ |
|
| Feb-28-08 | | D.Observer: Nice combo. A good <<Tuesday> or <Wednesday> puzzle> might be <16. ?>. |
|
| Jan-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow! This guy beats 3 other people in consultation! |
