 | | Peligroso Patzer: What? A THREE-move combination on Monday ... and with the Queen sac not coming until the SECOND move from the given position? Could be a difficult week. ;-) |

 | | sleepyirv: <Peligroso Patzer> Indeed. Where's the tradition, cg.com? |
|
Oct-27-08 | | newzild: This is too easy even for a Monday. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | MenisfromVenis: I think 32: Qxg6 should have been the puzzle. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | MaxxLange: replacement killer |

 | | chrisowen: Not a good date with a Dr? Emanuel Lasker plays 19.Kh1 courting events on the kingside. Inviting the exchange of the lsb he plucks up the white knight and questions the intentions of a misplaced black. 32..Nfxe5 looks like a desperate fling whereby it results in a nice arabian mate. |

 | | gawain: Monday, Monday. Everything falls into place after the obvious move. Perfectly satisfactory. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | AccDrag: Ah, the good old days when players routinely closed the side of the board where they had a space advantage, only to then go down in flames. |

 | | playground player: How does Nick Nolte get all these games against great chess players--and why does he bother? He never wins! |

 | | kevin86: Lasker offers his queen to mate with an Arabian theme. Black refuses. Then white gives him an offer he can't refuse.
A three move mate-rare for a Monday puzzle-but it is simple enough. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: <Menis> I agree. Probably not a monday puzzle, tho. For mondays this call (33.?) was good. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | YouRang: Obviously, with the knight on f6, the king on h8, and the rooks bearing down, we're looking for the old rook+knight (Arabian) mate, with a rook ending up at either h7 or g8. The only question is the right move order, since black does have a number of defenders. But we start by hitting the least defended spot: Rxh7 forcing Rxh7, and now g8 is attacked 3x and defended 2x, and the last attacker is a rook = Arabian mate. |
|
Oct-27-08 | | patzer2: For today's easy Monday puzzle solution, it's mate-in-three after 33. Rxh7+! |
|
Oct-27-08 | | victory1: nn started out pretty good and hung in there well until move 29 |
|
Oct-27-08 | | ruzon: I think 14...b5 would have attacked Lasker's pawn structure a lot more effectively than f6. But isn't NN supposed to play White in a simul? |
|

 | | mjmorri: Move by move, you can just see Lasker's attack develop. With a better Bishop, better placed Knights, and a pawn lever or two, it was only a matter of time. |
|

 | | Once: There are two ways to spot this one.
The "try it and see what happens" method - let's see what happens if we play the forcing 33. Rxh7+ ... and then we spot the arabian mate reloader on g8. Or the more logical approach ... the f6 knight and the heavy white pieces suggest an arabian mate. If only I could deflect the g7 rook then I would be able to play Qg8+ followed by Rg8#. How can I deflect the rook? Aha ... 33. Rxh7+ And that is all she wrote. |

Oct-27-08 | | mworld: <AccDrag: Ah, the good old days when players routinely closed the side of the board where they had a space advantage, only to then go down in flames.> very good point! |
