<May-09-21 mel gibson: <Apr-11-21 mel gibson: I wondered why I solved it in under 1 second. I have already solved it with Stockfish 3 times.>So easy it's Monday easy -
and the 4th time I've solved it.>
I've solved it 5 times now. |

 | | FSR: I like 23.Rxg5+ Qxg5 24.Qxe6+ followed by 25.Nxg5. Or 23...Kf7 24.Rxh5 Bxb3 25.Rxh6. |

 | | perfidious: It is a far from simple matter for a POTD to metamorphose from a Sunday-level solution into Monday-type stuff, but this one has managed to pull off that feat. |
|
| May-31-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Adding to the confusion, today in the US is a holiday Monday that feels like a Sunday. |
|
| May-31-21 | | saturn2: 23 ...Qxg5 or King moves lose a piece |
|
| May-31-21 | | Walter Glattke: Third time this puzzle. |
|
| May-31-21 | | malt: As Walter says. |
|
| May-31-21 | | stacase: Second verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder, a little bit worse!
Except that this is the third time around.
<mel gibson. . . I've solved it 5 times now.> Third, Fifth, Monday, Sunday; doesn't much matter. |
|
| May-31-21 | | drollere: at least chessgames.com seems to have settled on a single puzzle as the POTD stopgap. i actually puzzled for several moments over how to kill N at f3, thinking it was black to move. black must have had similar thoughts before the ceiling came down. |

 | | halito27: For once, I agree with <chrisowen>. |
|
| Sep-20-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I didn't remember this from last time. Hard Monday or easy Tuesday for me, in that a solution required seeing all of: -- Material starts out pretty even.
-- 23 Rxg5+ breaks the pin with check.
-- The game line saves White's queen while still leaving time to take Black's. -- If Black instead steps out of check on Move 23, White's rook is protected, so White can just play 24 Qxe6. -- There are no lines in which White actually plays RxQ. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Already used twice this year on Monday, April 5 and Sunday, May 9. |
|
| Sep-20-21 | | Brenin: At the risk of becoming boring, the obvious 23 Rxg5+ wins material, e.g. 23 ... Kf7 24 Rxh5 Bxb3 25 Rxh6, or 23 ... Qxg5 24 Qxe6+ and 25 Nxg5 (as many, including myself, have stated earlier this year). |
|
| Sep-20-21 | | stacase: I think I solve it a little faster each time it comes up. |
|
Sep-20-21
| | FSR: <May-31-21 FSR: I like 23.Rxg5+ Qxg5 24.Qxe6+ followed by 25.Nxg5. Or 23...Kf7 24.Rxh5 Bxb3 25.Rxh6.> I emphatically agree. |
|
Sep-27-21
| | FSR: This is just as easy as it was the first five times. I refer you to <FSR>'s prior comments. |
|
| Sep-27-21 | | Brenin: Oh, no, not again? 23 Rxg5+. No more to be said this tlme. |
|
| Sep-27-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: On the other hand, my previous comments don't wholly apply today, because this time around I DO remember the puzzle from before. |
|
Sep-27-21
| | Phony Benoni: The is just the POTD version of Timman and Karpov and the Non-Safety Pun. It was changed last Monday, and hopefully will be changed again today. |
|
| Jan-10-22 | | Brenin: We had this position several times last year. The obvious 23 Rxg5+ wins material, e.g. 23 ... Kf7 24 Rxh5 Bxb3 25 Rxh6, or 23 ... Qxg5 24 Qxe6+ and 25 Nxg5. |
|
| Jan-10-22 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: When the name of the game is in purple type, you know you've seen this before even before you study the position. |
|
| Jan-10-22 | | stacase: According to my previous posts, this must be the fourth time this has been posted as "Puzzle of the day." |

| | perfidious: Not to mention that other editions of this may follow.... |
|
| Jan-10-22 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: But this time around I forgot the puzzle again. I feel old. |
|
| Jan-10-22 | | saturn2: 22...Be6 a pin but not a....Ah, already observed by others |
