Nov-07-08		shr0pshire: Well black wasn't playing well in the opening, but 13. ...Ng8 and gets punished for it with admittedly a pretty cool combination. Fun game!

Nov-07-08		Cactus: What a game!

Nov-08-08		ILikeFruits: what a night late december back in 63 what a very special time for me as i remember what a night

Oct-14-18		Walter Glattke: If 15.-hxg5, then 16.hxg6+ Kxg6 17.Qh5+ Kf6 18.Bxg5+ Ke6 19.Bxd8 Rxd8 with similar constellation or 16.-Kh8 17.Qh5+ Nh6 18.Bxg5 Qxg5 19.Qxg5 Rf6

Oct-14-18		Amarande: <Walter Glattke> Actually it's mate. 15 ... hxg5 16 hxg6+ Kxg6 17 Qh5+ Kf6 18 Bxg5+ Ke6 19 Qg4+ Rf5 20 Qxf5#.

Oct-14-18		agb2002: The squares f7 and g6 look vulnerable. This suggests 14.Bxf7 Rxf7 (else drop a pawn) 15.Ng5+: A) 15... hxg5 16.hxg6+ A.1) 16... Kxg6 17.Qh5+ Kf6 18.Bxg5+ Ke6 19.Qg4+ Rf5 20.Qxf5#. A.2) 16... Kh6 17.Qh5#. A.3) 16... Kh8 17.Qh5+ Nh6 (17... Bh6 18.gxf7 wins decisive material) 18.gxf7 looks good for White. For example, 18... Nf6 19.Qxg5 Qf8 20.Qh4 Bc8 21.Nh5 Qxf7 22.Nxg7 Qxg7 23.Qxh6+ wins decisive material. B) 15... Kh8 16.Nxf7+ Kh7 17.Nxd8 wins. C) 15... Qxg5 16.Bxg5 hxg5 17.hxg6+ Kxg6 18.Qh5+ Kf6 19.Re3 seems to be advantageous for White.

Oct-14-18		al wazir: 20...Ndf6 looks better than 20...Bf6. The ♕ is embarrassed trying to find a good square.

Oct-14-18		7he5haman: 20...Ndf6 21.dxe5 with a favourable opening of files for White. I didn't like 24...exd4 for the same reason; if you're going to play such a move, at least prepare for it with something like Re8, so that your opponent doesn't have a free pass on a ssubsequent e5.

Oct-14-18		catlover: It's good to see Vallejo Pons on the winning side of a POTD.

Oct-14-18		patzer2: <I Like Fruits> Thanks for the lyrics from the Jersey Boys hit song "Oh What a Night." It brought back good memories. My two favotie renditions are the Jersey Boys music video at https://www.bing.com/videos/search?... and the US Navy Band singers (The Sea Chanters) version in the last song of an outdoor concert featuring six Jersey Boys popular hits at https://www.bing.com/videos/search?....

Oct-14-18		Marmot PFL: I had a different move order 14 Bxf7 Kxf7 15 hg6+ Kxg6 16 Ng5 Nf6 (stops Qh5+) 17 Qf3 (threat Qf5#) but maybe black can defend.

Oct-15-18		patzer2: As <shr0pshire> observed in the initial 2008 post here, Black's decisive mistake was 13...Ng8? allowing yesterday's Sunday puzzle solution 14. Bxf7! +- (+1.76 @ 27 ply, Stockfish 9). Instead, 13...c5 14. d5 b5 ⩲ (+0.40 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 9) would have avoided immediate disaster and improved Black's drawing chances. After 13...Ng8? 14. Bxf7!, Black's strongest reply was not accepting the Bishop sham sacrifice with 14...Rxf7? and allowing 15. Ng5+! +- (+3.62 @ 29 ply, Stockfish 9). Instead, declining the poisoned Bishop with 14...g5 15. Qb3 +- (+2.32 @ 32 ply, Stockfish 9) would've offered Black better practical drawing by avoiding White's planned tactical onslaught after 14...Rxf7? 15. Ng5+! (+3.62 @ 29 ply, Stockfish 9). Earlier in the opening, I don't like Black's passive 9...h6 allowing 9. Nf1 ⩲ (+0.52 @ 28 ply, Stockfish 9). Instead, I prefer the active developing move 9...Bb7 = (+0.08 @ 28 ply, Stockfish 9) as in the drawn game R Rabiega vs P H Nielsen, 2015.
