Thanks for the reminder, Dave. |

Oct-05-09 | | zaxcvd: It sucks that I cant even get this ..I actually got it but not before thinking of lamer ways of winning (the way i usually play) b4-h4. Really disappointing -- in blitz i missed a nice queen sac as well. |

 | | kevin86: An Anastasia mate started by a long range queen sac. The position also resembeled the Marshall gold piece game. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | PhilFeeley: <KabutoKoji: Tell me why I like mondays :-)> Could it be because, like me, you like queen sacs? |
|
Oct-05-09 | | YouRang: A mating pattern that I've seen often enough (in puzzles) to spot Qxh2 quickly. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | goldfarbdj: On Mondays the first thing I do is always to look for a queen sacrifice. If there isn't one, then I move on to other things. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | 310metaltrader: it should have been the move before for the problem start, the knight check was the key. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | AnalyzeThis: Par: 2 seconds to solve. |

Oct-05-09 | | Samagonka: THE 2 MONDAY PUZZLE GOLDEN RULES
Rule #1: The Queen sac always works.
Rule #2: if the Queen sac fails to work, apply rule #1! |
|
Oct-05-09 | | DarthStapler: Got it in two seconds and I haven't slept in 15 hours |
|
Oct-05-09 | | antharis: Ok. Case clear. 32... Qxh2+ 33. Kxh2 Rh4#.
Funny for myself is the fact that I spent more time to find this, than in some other "harder" puzzles. At first I tried some complicated other moves before I find the clear and easy solution. :-) |

 | | sleepyirv: Recognizable mating patterns make the sun shine and the birds sing. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | corbulo: <Got it in two seconds and I haven't slept in 15 hours> Is 15 hours a long time to go without sleeping? |
|
Oct-05-09 | | WhiteRook48: 32..Qxh2+ was very easy, even from b8
31...Ne2+ however is harder to see |
|
Oct-05-09 | | lzromeu: Got it in a second
31Qa7 waste tempo, losted move.
Better Bd3 - fork defense, always forgotted. |

 | | fm avari viraf: I just finished witnessing the ICC Champions Trophy Final between defending champions Australia vs New Zealand & it turned out to be a lackluster final. As I glanced at the position, my eyes were tired & it took me some time to nail the coffin. Well, the simple sac 32...Qxh2+ 33.Kxh2 Rh4# does the trick. |
|
Oct-05-09 | | Civhai: It took me one minute to find out that I was black and five seconds to find out the trick. I played something similar recently |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: <Oct-05-09 <smitten:> Sometimes Monday puzzles take much longer time than Tue/Wed ones..> Hint: Monday's puzzles often feature a Queen sacrifice ... followed by a quick mate. |

 | | Nightsurfer: There is an interesting parallel case with regard to the position of Black Knight on e2 at the beginning of the end of this game here <Jonathan Gast vs Edwin Bhend (1987)> after <31. ... Ne2+>, please see the diagram as follows ... click for larger view... - that very foothold of Black Knight on e2 being the intro of <Anastasia's Mate> with <32.Kh1 Qxh2+! 33.resigns> - and the corresponding position of Black Knight on e2 just before the climax of the game D Steinwender vs R Gralla, 1972 after <17.Nc4? ...>, please see the diagram as follows ...  click for larger view ... - that very foothold of Black Knight on e2 being the key for Black being able to execute <The Mate of Anastasia> with <17. ... Bxc4 18.Qxc4?? Qxh2+!> ... please see the diagram as follows ...  click for larger view... thus forcing White to throw in the towel <19.resigns> in a situation as hopeless as in this game here <Jonathan Gast vs Edwin Bhend (1987)> after <32. ...
