May-03-10  turbo231: I solved Sunday's puzzle ( for the first time ) only to failed at this Monday's puzzle. One step forward and 2 steps back. Although I must say that Sunday's puzzle wasn't very hard. In that case it's one half step forward and 2 steps back.
May-03-10  ZUGZWANG67: 1.Qxh5 gxh5 2.Bh7 is mate.

  Penguincw: Very close to Blackburne's Mate, per Game Collection: Checkmate: Checkmate Patterns.

But the definition Schiller gives is < "One bishop gives check, protected by <a knight that covers one flight square>, while the other bishop covers the other escape squares." >

Knight technically covers h7, and f7 if there weren't a pawn there.

Jan-09-23  Brenin: 29 Qxh5 wins a piece after 29 ... Qh2+ (not gxh5 30 Bh7 mate) Kxh2 Bd6+(creating an escape square f8) 31 g3 gxh5.
Jan-09-23  Cheapo by the Dozen: Heavy piece sacrifice on the h-file. Pure Monday!
Jan-09-23  Mayankk: White has mating threats at h7 via either Qh7# or Bh7#. The Knight at h5 can block one but not both. So eliminate the obstructing Knight by 29 Qxh5 and then mate by 29 ... gxh5 30 Bh7#.

At 20 ... c5. Black has nicely stacked all its artillery at the starting line on Queenside while White has its two Bishops and Queen aiming at its Kingside. That usually means a quick kill and it started with the sham Knight sac 22 ...Nxg6, opening up the pawn wall.

Jan-09-23  Brenin: 26 Bb2, followed by Nf6+ or Qc3, is even stronger than the move 26 Qg5 played.
Jan-09-23  BxChess: White gets an even better position if they refuse the queen sacrifice in the non-game line: 29. Qxh5 Qh2+ 30. Kf1
Provided the king remains on the white squares, black can only keep giving checks by giving up extra pieces, including eventually a queen swap.
Jan-09-23  Brenin: <BxChess: White gets an even better position if they refuse the queen sacrifice in the non-game line: 29. Qxh5 Qh2+ 30. Kf1> Now White loses to 30 ... Qxg2+ 31 Ke2 Re8+ 32 Kd2 Qxf2+ or 32 Kd1 Rxe1+ 33 Kxe1 Bxb4+ 34 axb4 gxh5.
Jan-09-23  King.Arthur.Brazil: Everybody loves Monday... 29. Qxh5 gxh5 30. Bh7# (without figurine, OK?).

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Nothing like a Blackburne mating pattern to start the week.

Black appeared to have no idea of how to play the middle game; from 9...Qf5?! through 19...Qb8, his position deteriorates with remarkable speed.

Jan-09-23  jrredfield: Doesn't get much easier than this. Nice start to the week. Took me all of 3 or 4 seconds. 28 moves into the game and Black still has two pieces undeveloped, along with two isolated pawns. Not his best day.
Jan-09-23  King.Arthur.Brazil: Just imagine that White doesn't want Black to escape with 29... Qh2+ 30. Kxh2 Bd6+ 31. g3 gxh5 as <Brenin> showed. Then, the King saw the line: 9. g4 Qf4 (the P of g4 is pinned). 30. Be5! Re8! Observe that 31. Bxf4?? Rxe1+ 32. Kh2 Rh1#. Now, 31. Qxh5! (Obviously, the same theme: 31... gxh5 32. Bh7#). Now, 31... Qh2+ 32. Kxh2 (there's no intermediate 32... Bd6+ to save). So, 31... Rxe5 or 31... Qxe5 32 Qh7#.

One alternative could be: 31.. Qxf2+ 32. Kxf2 Bc5+ 33. bxc5 gxh5 34. Bh7+ Kf8 35. Bd6+ Kg7 36. Rxe8. In this case, Black lost enough material to resign. Other case: 31... Qxg5 32. Qxg5 Bg7 33. Bc3.

This line seems stronger than the game one. It's time to <Brenin> find some mistake (lgs). <Chris> thank you so much for a clear and high level chess msg in May 03 2010!

  takebackok: No think Queen sack Monday and i think it works.
Jan-09-23  stacase: 29.Qxh5 Threatens mate. Black's g6 Pawn blocks the mate at h7 with the Bishop. At the very least 29.Qxh5 wins the Knight. I did finally get it after looking at every other possible move except that one - so it was more than a few seconds.
Jan-09-23  saturn2: Black can delay a bit. 29.Qxh5 Bg7 30.Qh7 Kf8 31.Qxg7.So also the Re1 played his part in the mate

  agb2002: White is one pawn up.

The pawn on g6 stops Bh7#. Therefore, 29.Qxh5 Qh2+ (29... gxh5 30.Bh7#; 29... Bg7 30.Qh7+ Kf8 31.B(Q)g7#) 30.Kxh2 Bd6+ 31.Kg1 gxh5 32.Ne4 wins a piece (32... Re8 33.Bc3).

  nickhernandez1: 1Qxh5 gxh5
2bh7# If you are a beginner like me, it's counterintuitive to sacrifice the queen, but it's a good learning experience due to the inevitable mate.
Jan-09-23  Brenin: <King.Arthur.Brazil>: I'm afraid that 29 g4 loses immediately to 29 ... Nxf6, with Black's N on f6 now preventing the mate on h7. White can try 30 Nxf7, e.g. 30 ... Kxf7 Qg5, but 30 ... Qf4 safely traps the N, leaving Black up by two pieces.

Jan-09-23  ET3 Hefley: Same idea as the finish between Dubov - Sarin at the FIRE Rapid recently. The minor pieces seal the deal after 29. ♕xh5 ...gxh5, 30. ♗h7#

Dubov vs N Sarin, 2022

Jan-09-23  mel gibson: Although it's easy it's not a quick checkmate.

Jan-09-23  thegoodanarchist: Good Monday puzzle
Jan-09-23  King.Arthur.Brazil: <Brenin> I wanted to explore the position resulting from 29...Qf4. I sadly saw this right before end the analysis. I was sure that you'll find it immediately, that is why I mention you. (lgs). Thank you for answer correctly.
