 | | FSR: Heh - 39.Rc8+ would have worked equally well. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Mating possibility if we lure the queen from c8. 40.Ne7+ does nothing, though. Try reversing moves. Ah, <40.Rc8+> lures the queen to c8 instead, with the sequel <40...Qxc8 41.Ne7+ Kf8 42.Nxc8.> And if Black's d-pawn gets uppity, the White king can deal with it. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | ChessHigherCat: Patzer sees a c8, patzer plays a c8, and eats the queen with a fork for dessert |
|
Aug-07-17 | | ChessHigherCat: <FSR: Heh - 39.Rc8+ would have worked equally well.> Good point. I thought Rxb7 was clever but he had even better. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | stst: No direct kill, but gain significant gain in material:
40.Rc8+ QxR (forced)
41.Ne7+ forks Q,K ===> Q gone.
The rest is trivial. |

Aug-07-17 | | drollere: can a puzzle be too easy, even for monday? |
|
Aug-07-17 | | agb2002: White has a rook and a knight for the queen and a pawn. Black threatens h5 and Qxb5.
White can win decisive material with 40.Rc8+ Qxc8 41.Ne7+ Kf8 42.Nxc8. |

Aug-07-17 | | AlicesKnight: 40.Rc8+ forces ....Qxc8 whereupon 41.Ne7+ wins the Q, and the Black d-pawn is one file too close to the K to help. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | morfishine: "Acs up"
<40.Rc8+> followed by the Knight fork <41.Ne7+> and White, a piece up, wins ***** |

|
Aug-07-17 | | thegoodanarchist: What happens after 42...d3 - isn't Black going to be able to stop White from queening? |
|
Aug-07-17 | | thegoodanarchist: < thegoodanarchist: What happens after 42...d3 - isn't Black going to be able to stop White from queening?> No, you idiot! 43.Kf1! and White is winning |
|
Aug-07-17 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Winning will still take a bit of technique. White may never queen the b-pawn, so he has to be vicious in cleaning up Black's pawns while letting the b-pawn go. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | malt: 40.Rc8+, for the knife and
41.Ne7+ with the fork |
|
Aug-07-17 | | groog: Malt, he he he, nice. |

 | | Fusilli: <FSR: Heh - 39.Rc8+ would have worked equally well.> Yes, and the availability of two equally strong moves makes move 39 an inadequate puzzle. Hence the puzzle was on move 40, for a Monday. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | kevin86: Monday puzzle: white wins the queen by a fork after rook sac. Easy as pi |
|
Aug-07-17 | | Bobby Spassky: FSR: Heh - 39.Rc8+ would have worked equally well. No it wouldn't. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | takchess: I can't say "I can't believe this is a Monday Puzzle". This is just right for a Monday. Cheers. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | Iwer Sonsch: No mate in sight.
40.Rc8+ Qxc8 41.Ne7+ and 42.Nxc8 appears to be the best combination White has, leaving him a Knight for two pawns up. |
|
Aug-07-17 | | Iwer Sonsch: For one pawn* |

 | | Willber G: <Bobby Spassky: <FSR: Heh - 39.Rc8+ would have worked equally well.> No it wouldn't.>
Please explain why not. |
