| Apr-08-14 | | YetAnotherAmateur: This was fun: Nb6+ jumped out for the double-check. That gives black only 2 possible moves: 27. ... Kd8 28. Qd7#
27. ... Kb8 28. Qc8+ Rxc8 29. Nd7#
Personally, I find the second one quite pretty, since it combines double check with a smothered mate. |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | Rama: Not only that but it is an "Epaulette Mate" with the black King flanked by both its Rooks. Esthetically very pleasing. |

I think it's called *pre-enactment*... |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | john barleycorn: <domdaniel> we got it. |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | kevin86: A smothered mate: the queen is attacked- not to worry, the knight check is a DOUBLE CHECK. Also, backtrack two moves and you find a necessary intermezzo: the black knight must be moved before the sequence as it guards the crucial e7. |

 | | skeptic50: Kolb was a class C player as Black, but a Grandmaster as White (he just never got to play with the White pieces) |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | BOSTER: < Once: Tarrasch has a sense of humour>.
I dont know this, but < CG > no doubt has. In the opening Tarrasch did not have the knight on b1, but POTD has two knights , and knight b1 looks very attractive. |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | Makavelli II: It also works taking the rook on f8 first but it takes a move longer to the mate. Still very easy I thought :) |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | MountainMatt: Ya know, I would just take the queen, and be perfectly happy. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Obviously the lot of you are wrong and have clearly not studied the position given on the home page which is this:
click for larger viewNote the White Knight on b1.
In the above game Tarrasch give Queen Knight Odds but with the Knight on b1 they cannot be referring to this game. It's a totally different game. You got the smothered mate bit right but the game is clearly Blower - Thermal, Grimsby, 1836 which went with Black to play from here.

Intending to answer 2...Nxh7 with 3.Qh5+ (it's an old Morphy psuedo-sac trick played before Morphy was born. ) But... Nxa2 Checkmate
click for larger viewSo all you pasty-faced Charlie's that think you have 2/2 for this week have infact got only one right out of two. Pay attention and read the board before you start posting your solutions. This is a 100% fail. |

| | Sally Simpson: Glad to see you are paying attention morfishine - you can make your score for this week two out of two. ChrisOwen.
"...back to where we started c8 lines escalated climb spark our uniform knight appraisal to bomb." That is correct - you too are on two out of two. |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | stabguy: Wouldn't 28. Nf6+ work just as well? |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | StevieB: <stabguy> Yes, I believe it would. |
|
Apr-08-14
| | Sally Simpson: Both wrong.
click for larger view28.Nf6+ is illegal.
You two are on nil out of two for the week because you are both ultra clumsy. (if you used diagrams like I do you would not be making these boy scout errors.....just decided you two are -1 for the week for not using a diagram.) |

| | Domdaniel: <Sally S> Heh, very cute. But, um, how did white manage to play 16.0-0-0 without moving the Nb1? |

|
| Apr-08-14 | | BOSTER: < Sally> isn't this sound from Tal' imagination. <Note the White Knight on b1.>
I saw it.
Home page referring to game
Tartasch vs Kobl, and only Tarrasch with own
< stalemating style> is known as author of the <Most Sadistic mate in history>. |
|
Apr-08-14
| | Sally Simpson: Hi Domdaniel:
The Knight hopped out a3 to allow 0-0-0 and back to b1 after 0-0-0. It was the way they did things back in the 1800's
J Noa vs Bird, 1882
There you will see White playing:
13. Na3
14. O-O-O
17. Nb1 |
|
Apr-08-14
 | | perfidious: Pity that, with or without that wayward knight at b1, the aesthetic effect of the finish is spoilt by the fact that Tarrasch had more than one way home. |
|
| Apr-08-14 | | kramputz: You < chrisowen > blab-blab- la too much for nothing. |

| | chrisowen: <Sally Simpson> Thanks for applying a grade to my posts top notch stuff! |
|
| Apr-09-14 | | LIFE Master AJ: I would play 27.NxR/f8; winning lots of material ... (note, it is an easy win on material). ;) |
