Apr-20-07 | | evenua: Just solved the 'guess-the-move' puzzle of this game! This new feature looks pretty kool. Keep up the good job, CG! =) |
|
Apr-29-07 | | chessamateur: 12. e5 is very nice move by Kramnik. |
|
May-15-07 | | BlueMooner: It seems to me that 4...b6 was the start of black's woes and White's plan of attack was focused almost exclusivley around utilising the powerful h1-a8 diagonal to excellent effect in the attack. The combination e5, Rxe6 & Qh5# was the reward for Kramnik's excellent strategy. Is 4...b6 a normal variation in the English Defence? Obviously 4...g6 followed by a kingside finachetto is the normal book move from the Symmetrical Variation, English Defence & 4...b6 appeared to be a disaster waiting to happen therefore surely it cannot be the a valid variation can it? |

 | | Penguincw: A rather quick game. |
|
Aug-08-12 | | Jim Bartle: Arthur Andersen hasn't been sponsoring chess tournaments recently. I wonder why. |

 | | FSR: 14.Nxe6! Qc8 (14...fxe6 15.Qh5+ g6 16.Qxg6#) and now either 15.fxg7 Bxg7 16.Nxg7+ or 15.Nxg7+ Kd8 16.Re8+ is crushing. |
|
Mar-27-18
 | | al wazir: I went with 14. Nxe6. If now 14...Qc8, then 15. Nxg7+ Kd8 16. Re8+ Kc7 17. Rxc8+ Kxc8, and white has ♕ vs. ♖+♙+♙. If 14. Rxe6+, black can play 14...Be7, avoiding immediate mate. After 15. Rxe7+ Qxe7 16. fxe7, white has ♕+♗ vs. ♖+♙. Not a whole lot of difference. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Sort of a variant on fool's mate with 14. Rxe6 Be7 (...fxe6 15. Qh5+ g6 16. Qxg6#) 15. Rxe7+ Kf8 (or queen sac) and it looks like it's still possible to exploit the f7 weak spot with 16. Ne6+ fxe6 (Kg8? Rxg7#) 17. Qh5+ and mate in 2. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | stst: check if pure eye-balling misses something:
14.Rxe6+.......
(A)............fxR
15.Qh5+ g6
16.Qxg6#
(B).............Be7 (tougher defense)
15.fxg7 Rg8
16.Qh5#
if in (♗)
15.f7+ ♔x♙
16.♕h5 g6
17.♕xg6 let go ♔f8... still some lapses to go.. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | stst: NN takes the easier route, but it's for White!! (to win more easily!!) |
|
Mar-27-18 | | saturn2: 14 Rxe6+ and black cannot retake |
|
Mar-27-18 | | stst: <...We're kind of like Pavlov's dogs. :-) Welcome back ... not Volvo, but Rang!!> Indeed that's some reason supporting NOT TO choose Nxe6... as it RANG!! Mon/Tue take the direct charge... Q/R-sac!! got it!! |
|
Mar-27-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Correction: 17. Qh5 (not check), threatening Qf7# so black is forced to sac the queen. Has anyone found a forced mate in this line? |
|
Mar-27-18 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Now that feels like a Monday puzzle to me!
Oh, it's Tuesday already?? |
|
Mar-27-18 | | agb2002: White has a bishop and a knight for the bishop pair. Black threatens Nxf6.
The black king cannot move and the white queen can go to h5 at once. Hence, 14.Rxe6+ Be7 (14... fxe6 15.Qh5+ g6 16.Qxg6#) 15.Rxe7+ wins more than a piece and a pawn: 15... Kf8 16.Qh5 g6 17.Qxg6 Qxe7 (17... fxg6 18.Ne6+ Kg8 19.Rg7#) 18.fxe7+, etc. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | Honey Blend: If 14. ... ♗e7 15. ♖xe7 ♔f8, White has the lovely finish 16. ♘e6+! fxe6 17. ♕xd6: click for larger viewFollowed by 17. ... ♘xf6 18. ♖d7+ etc |
|
Mar-27-18 | | landshark: <Cheapo by the Dozen>
It's Monday. Don't be fooled... |
|
Mar-27-18 | | leRevenant: Much less fuss than yesterday's bleep on the radar. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | goodevans: I can't see much to choose between 14.Rxe6+ and 14.Nxe6. Both are crushing. If you need to be able to find a clear distinction between them to solve this "Tuesday" puzzle then I've failed. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | morfishine: <14.Rxe6+> |
|
Mar-27-18 | | Mayankk: It probably is more difficult to go wrong in this puzzle. I mean what else can you play! And even the choice of sac hardly matters it seems. |
|
Mar-27-18 | | malt: 14.R:e6+ Be7
(14...fe6 15.Qh5+ g6 16.Q:g6# )
15.R:e7+ Kf8 16.fg7+ or 16.Ne6+ wins |
|
Mar-27-18 | | zb2cr: I went with 14. Rxe6+, Be7; 15. Rxe7+, Kf8; 16. Ne6+, fxe6; 17. Qh5, Qxe7; 18. fxe7+, Kxe7 and White has Q vs. R. |
