Jan-08-19  OrangeTulip: You really have to see the mate pattern in a split second. If not start training tactics, and forget openings
Jan-08-19  AlicesKnight: Found 17.Bb6 - deflecting the Q or winning at least a piece.

  perfidious: Simple deflexion: Bb6.

Killtown.

Jan-08-19  mel gibson: I saw that Black would be in big trouble with the solution move.

Stockfish 10 is not showing any fast checkmate:

17. Bb6

  perfidious: <saturn2>, 15.Bxd7+ and 16.Qxe5+ offers no succour.
Jan-08-19  zb2cr: Count me among the 17. Bd7+ crowd.
Jan-08-19  saturn2: <perfidious> thx. So 13...white to play is for wednesday or thursday.
Jan-08-19  thegoodanarchist: I feel as if I've seen this before, in a tactics puzzle book or software...
Jan-08-19  et1: Qd7 Qtakes Bd7 + does not work ?
Jan-08-19  Henrychn: If 13...Nxd5, what¡¯s the white¡¯s response?
Jan-08-19  Henrychn: Sorry, 13...cxd5
Jan-08-19  BOSTER: < devere>:<17. Bb6 losing a piece>. This is correct, but is more attractive to play Bb6 when black king on d8. So 17.Bd7+.
Jan-08-19  TheaN: Tuesday 8 January 2019

<17.?>

A relatively simple concept deflection with <17.Bb6>, but the position screams for so much more.

Alas. Stockfish does something interesting: it starts with 17.Bd7+ Kd8 18.Bg4+ Ke8, only now to play 19.Bb6. It does take out Black's castling which is useful, but is seemingly evaluating less than 17.Bb6 immediately which doesn't make sense.

Can White do more with these very strongly placed pieces? No, surprisingly. After the main line <17.Bb6 Qd6>, <18.Bd7+?!> is not theoretically better than just Qxd6 straight away, due to <18....Kxd7! 19. Qc1 +-> and White's winning, but not more than by just taking the piece and paralyzing Black.

Jan-08-19  nasher: <TheaN> I agree that Stockfish starting with Bd7+ is strange, but it does NOT keep Black from castling ... Black's move 15 was Kd8.

Hah. Shows that my CG puzzle vision is the <move-to-play and what follows>. Both players could start the game with 60 times Nf1-Nf6-Ng1-Ng8 and I probably wouldn't notice when solving it :>

Jan-09-19  TheaN: And 1.Nf1 would definitely be impressive. *Nf3.
