| Aug-03-07 | | outplayer: I missed this. |
|
| Aug-04-07 | | psmith: Well, I got this pretty quickly, including the hxg6 capture. On the other hand I've missed considerably easier ones. So evidently there's some luck involved here. |
|
| Aug-04-07 | | ALEXIN: I tought 32. Qg3 but 32.Rxe5 seems to be enough for equality. |
|
| Jan-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: Bxg7!! |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Mayankk: I saw till 32 Bxg7 Rxg7 33 Qxh6+ Kg8 34 Rxc6. I was briefly distracted by an immediate 34 Rxg7+ Qxg7 35 Qxg7+ Kxg7 36 Rxc6 but it didn't seem good enough. Then I realised that 34 Rxc6 may be superior given the threats of 35 Rc8+ as well as a latter Rc7. Also 34 ... Qxc6 is not possible due to the mate threat at g7 and so the Rook is immune. After 34 Rxc6, Black seemed to have a few choices, all leading nowhere. If 34 ... Rxg6 35 Qxg6+ Kf8, 36 Rc7 captures the Queen and White should prevail in a Q vs R endgame. If anything else then 35 Rc8+ likely settles matters. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Brenin: 32 Bxg7 (threatening 33 Qxh6+) Rxg7 33 Qxh6+ Kg8 34 Rxc6 (regaining the piece and threatening 35 Rc8+) Rxg6+ 35 Qxg6+ Kf8 (or Kh8) 36 Qf6+ Ke8 (or Kg8 37 Rc7) 37 Rc8+ Qxc8 38 Qe7 mate. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | mel gibson: I saw the main line in under 10 seconds.
Stockfish 15 says White wins _ mate in 8.
32. Bxg7
(32. Bxg7 (Be5xg7 Rf7xg7 Qf4xh6+ Kh7-g8 Rc1xc6 Rd5-c5 Rc6xc5 Rg7xg6 h5xg6
a3-a2 Rc5-c8+ Qd7xc8 Qh6-h7+ Kg8-f8 Qh7-h8+) +M8/97 33) |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: As <Brenin> already have posted at this time, I suppose he saw the same line: 32. Rxc6 (To deviate the ♕ from the operations theater (if don't take the offer, for example: 32...Rxe5? 33. Rc7 Qe8 34. Qxe5, or 32...a2!? 33. Rc7 Qe8 34. Rxg7+ Rxg7 35. Rxg7+ Kh8 36. Qxh6#). So the capture seems reasonable: 32... Qxc6 33. Bxg7 (a second religious sacrifice!) 33...Rxg7 34. Qxh6+ Kg8 35. Qxg7# or 33...Rb7 (or d7) 34. Qxh6+ Kg8 35. Be5+ Kf7 36. Rg7+ Ke8 37. Qh8#. Even 33...Kg8 34. Bxh6+! (don't let the ♔ run away!) Kh7 35. Bf8 Rg7 36. Rxg7+ Kh8 37. Qh6#. Time to check my Tal's inspiration. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I saw the Bxg7, but I though that Rxc6 was more beautiful. However, white can also play the elegant 35. hxg6 , which let Black helpless again: 35...Qxc6 36. Qh7+ Kf8 37. Qf7# or 36...Qg7 36. Rc8+ Qf8 37. Rxf8#. Even 36...Rxd6 36. Rc8+ Qd8 37. Qh7+ Kf8 38. Qf7#. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Brenin: <King.Arthur.Brazil>: Doesn't 32 Rxc6 lose to 32 ... Rxe5? For example, 33 Ra6 Rd5 and Black comes out a P ahead, or 33 Rc7 Qxd6 34 Rxf7? Re1+ 35 Kh2 Qxf4+, with mate to follow. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | geeker: Yeah, the first thing I wanted to play was 32. Rxc6, but it fails to 32...Rxe5. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | stacase: That one nearly payed itself. By the time move 36.?? came around, darn near anything half way intelligent wins for White. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Mayankk: White had Bxg7 available on the 30th and 31st moves as well but the critical Rc1 was missing to add Rxc6 and Rc8+ threats in the combination. If 30 Bxg7 Rxg7 31 Qxh6+ Kg8 32 Rxe6 Rxd3 33 g3, White has a very strong passed d6 pawn which is also well protected. If it can double the Rooks on e file, it can dream of Re8+ or Re7 and a quick win. But that needs a tempo which Black won't allow unfortunately. Hence the preparatory 31 Rc1 before 32 Bxg7. |

 | | al wazir: I think the continuation 36. Rc7 a2 37. Rxd7 a1=Q+ 38. Kh2 Qe5+
39. g3 is also winning. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | stacase: <apple pi: I tried 36.Rc7
Anything wrong with this?>
That's what I would have done because it skewers Black's Queen against the mate at f7. So it appears that Black's Queen is lost and mate imminent. Black could try 36...Qe7 but that just moves the mating square to g7. If White somehow screws that up, there are always those two Pawns on d6 & h5. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | boringplayer: I thought 36.Rc7 was a simple win, but then I saw 36...a2. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | agb2002: White is one pawn down.
After 32.Bxg7 Rxg7 33.Qxh6+ Kg8 the black queen is overloaded with the defense of the rook on g7 and the bishop on c6, so 34.Rxc6: A) 34... Qxc6 35.Qxg7#.
B) 34... a2 35.Rc8+ and 36.Qxg7#.
C) 34... Rxg6 35.hxg6 and Black is defenseless against Rc8+ (35... Qxc6 36.Qh7+ Kf8 37.Qf7#; 35... Qe8 36.Rc8). D) 34... Kf8 35.Rc8+ Qxc8 36.Rxg7 and 37.Qh8#. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | saturn2: 32.Bxg7 then queencheckon h7 and regain the bishop Bc6. The only scare was black's a pawn but white threatens Rc8. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Brenin: <al wazir, boringplayer>: If 36 Rc7 a2 then 37 Qf6+ Kg8 (Ke8 38 Qh8+ Kf7 39 Rxd7 mate) 38 Rxd7, and the Q on f6 covers the queening square a1, so White has mate in a few moves. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | erimiro1: I thought 32.R:c6? Q:c6?? 33. B:g7 and that's it. BUT 32...R:e5! 33. Rc7 Re1+ 34.Kh2 Qe8 and suddenly black fights back. |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: To my taste, what really messes up
32 Rxc5 Rxe5
33 Rc7
try is
32 ... Qxd6. Now the threatened 33 ... Re1+ would be a discovered attack on White's queen. Unfortunately, I didn't see that defense until after checking the solution. |

| | chrisowen: Account it is x |
|
| Mar-23-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The counter-attack is strong: 32.Rxc6! Rxe5! The best line seems to be: 33. Qxe5 Qxc6 34. Qxe6 Qd7 35. Qb3 and White has not the same attack. This justifies that 32. Bxg7 is best! |
|

 | | eternaloptimist: I solved this puzzle but I chose 36.♖c7 instead of ♕f6+. ♖c7 also gets the job done really quickly |
