Apr-18-07		kingsindian2006: RC7, clinches mate with any combo by black.. all it needs is the knight and rook to mate

Jun-02-07		notyetagm: Position after 40 ♔g1-f2 click for larger view In this position Judit had previously noticed that 40 ... ♖b1-f1 would be mate if it weren't for the e3-flight square of the White f2-king. So Judit is just one square away from trapping the White king. What do you do when you want to <TRAP> an enemy piece that has few flight squares? You force the opponent to <SELF-BLOCK> the flight squares! Here Judit forces White to <SELF-BLOCK> the e3-flight square of the White f2-king by playing 40 ... ♗c3-d4+!. Position after 40 ... ♗c3-d4+! click for larger view This is the critical move that White missed when he blundered and played 39 ♗e3xg5??. After 40 ... ♗c3-d4+!, the only way that White can get out of check is with 41 ♗g5-e3 or 41 ♖f3-e3, putting a White piece on the e3-square, <SELF-BLOCKING> it so that the White f2-king can no longer flee there. The result is that both 41 ♗g5-e3 (<SELF-BLOCK>) and 41 ♖f3-e3 (<SELF-BLOCK>) are met by the <ARABIAN MATE> 41 ... ♖b1-f1#. Position after 41 ♗g5-e3 <self-block> ♖b1-f1# click for larger view Position after 41 ♖f3-e3 <self-block> ♖b1-f1# click for larger view

Mar-29-08		notyetagm: If the enemy king has only -one- <FLIGHT SQUARE> (e3-square), what do you do? Black to play: 40 ... ? click for larger view Play a <FORCING MOVE> (40 ... ♗c3-d4+!) which <FORCES> your opponent to occupy (<SELF-BLOCK>) that <FLIGHT SQUARE> (41 ♗g5-e3, 41 ♖f3-e3). Position after 40 ... ♗c3-d4+! 0-1 click for larger view Now your opponent's king has no <FLIGHT SQUARES> and you can mate him (41 ... ♖b1-f1#). Position after 40 ... ♗c3-d4+! 41 ♗g5-e3 ♖b1-f1# click for larger view Only -one- <FLIGHT SQUARE> for the enemy king (or an enemy piece) means <FORCE> a <SELF-BLOCK>! Here Judit Polgar gives a textbook example of that principle.

Mar-29-08		mistreaver: Yea but Bxg5 wasn't so big blunder as game was hopeless for white.The only way to give to fend of the mate was Rf1 when after Rb2+ White loses rook. Am i missing something?

Mar-20-15		ChessCoachClark: Continuation results in a Hook Mate case at the master level.
