|
| Jul-05-21 | | TheaN: Bit of a sophisticated Monday: whilst most will correctly spot the solution and play it from White's point of view, it's kind of crucial to consider why simply 41.b8Q? doesn't work; 41....Rh1+! 42.Kxh1 Qh5+ 43.Kg1 Qd1+ = and White just threw away a win. <41.Rxh7+ Kxh7 42.Qd7+ Kh6> 42....Qe7 just allows 43.Qxe7+ +- as Black lacks material to be throwing his queen and 42....Kg8/Kh8 leads to 43.b8Q+ with tempo, 43....Qd8 44.Qbxd8#. <43.Qxh3 +-> and Black has two major evils: 43....Kg7 44.Ne6+ +- and White goes up two queens vs a knight, 43....Qh5 seems harmless, but 44.Qxh5+ gxh5 45.fxe3 +- and White goes up a full queen and mates soon. Nope, not the typical Monday but not terribly tough either. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | TheaN: Actually, materialistic it's even worse after 43.Qxh3+ due to tempi. 43....Kg7 44.Ne6+ Kf6 45.Nxg5 leads two two queens up, and 43....Qh5 44.Qxh5+ gxh5 45.fxe3 is a queen and knight vs nothing. Yeah I'd rather not be Black. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | Brenin: <cocker>: "Humiliation" seems rather strong for a loss by an 11-year-old. I would rather praise both young players for their imaginative and enterprising play in this game. Both of them have amply fulfilled the promise shown at this early stage of their careers. |

| | chrisowen: It's ok Rh7 etc lovely bon no? |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | cocker: <Brenin> Agreed. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | johnnydeep: Nice. Easy Monday for me for a change. Saw it all except for the mate in 9 that the ENGINE says could result if black hadn't resigned. But at least I appreciated white's clearly winning position. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | Nullifidian: 41. ♖xh7+ ♔xh7 42. ♕d7+, connecting with the undefended rook on h3. Going back to the eighth rank just leads to a quick mate, so 42... ♔h6 43. ♕xh3+ and now Kg7 allows a nasty fork, ♘e6+. So 43... ♕h5 44. ♕xh5+ ♙gxh5 45. ♙fxe3 (because there's always time to queen that pawn). |

 | | NMABQjmgChess: Though I did not it for this puzzle, am glad to see the analysis engine back and working. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | DrGridlock: < Walter Glattke: Black threatens mate by Rxg3, and perpetual after 41. b8Q (drollere) Rh1+ 42.Kxh1 Qe1+.> I was trying to figure out how the black queen gets from g5 to e1 on move 42. The actual perpetual check threat is 42 ... Qh5+
and then the black queen shuttles back and forth between h5 and d1. |
|

 | | samvega: Somebody else must have gone for the silly 41. Nxf5 Nxf5 42. Rxf5 Qxf5 (which does work), because when I checked the engine the result popped up instantly, which means (I think) that the analysis had been run before. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | zb2cr: What <agb2002> said. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | AlicesKnight: Saw the game line, and the h5-d1 perpetual danger to be the priority. Yes, not quite the usual Monday but a nice reminder that you still have to win a won game. |
|
| Jul-05-21 | | jffun1958: <Ivan Karamazov> Thanks! |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | catlover: Beautiful game, especially the finish.
I don't get the pun. "Kat" is a reference to the first name Kateryna, but where does "Man Do" come in? There is a Youtube channel "CatManToo" but I can't see a connection with that either. |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | SeanAzarin: Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | Cecco: So the pun would have made some sense if the game had taken place in Kathmandu. But it turns out the under-16 Olympiad in 2002 were in Kuala Lumpur. |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | Cecco: And anyway, for native speakers, what does "Kat man do" mean, for the purposes of pun? |
|
Mar-14-24
 | | HeMateMe: Kat defeated a man.
American slang "Can do!" (I can get the job done!) Katmandu, Nepal, is mentioned in more than one pop song. Ok, it's not a great pun but these things don't have to be philosophical treatsies do they? |

| Mar-14-24 | | Cassandro: 🎵I think I'm going to Katmandu!!🎵

 | | Teyss: I thought the pun was a slang inversion meaning "Kat Does the Man", which wouldn't have been quite family-site like. Good game especially the finish which is roughly the same principle as Steinitz vs Von Bardeleben, 1895 : Take my Rook. Take it! C'mon. C'mooon. 41.? was a Monday POTD in 2021. 39.? would have been a nice mid-week puzzle. For memo Kateryna Lagno could have played in U14 and David Howell in U12 and both were selected for U16. Katmandu, I'll soon be seein' you
And your strange bewilderin' time
Will hold me down.
Damn, I've got the tune in my head for the whole morning now. |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | Saniyat24: haha, nice pun and a very nice game too...! |
|
| Mar-14-24 | | Cecco: Thanks to <HeMateMe> and the others. I'll never make it. |
