Mar-08-11  Akavall: I saw the right idea, but I missed 8...0-0.

I was taught [incorrectly] that one can't castle if the King or a Rook is under attack, and I played for a while thinking this was the rule. Until one day I was play a program, and it "cheated" by castling while I was attacking it rook. Perhaps this misconception still haunts me to this day.

Mar-08-11  patzer2: The threat of mate enables White to win decisive material with 8. Qxd4!, which solves today's Tuesday puzzle.
Mar-08-11  MountainMatt: Missed it, but I don't feel too bad. Karjakin missed it too.
Mar-08-11  WhiteRook48: ah, of course I played 8 Qxd4
Mar-08-11  redorc19: this is similar to the trap in the famous morphy vs. andersson game... the knight on f6 and the bishop on h6 delivering mate is very artistic.

  fm avari viraf: I keep teaching such traps to my students but how come a young GM Karjakin could fall a victim to the kenspeckle 8.Qxd4! & the Black King is in shambles.

  Penguincw: < Marmot PFL: It had to be blitz (or blindfold) for Karjakin to lose like that. > It was blitz.
Mar-08-11  swr: Andreikin discovered a nice trap originally played in 1928: Muller vs NN, 1928
Mar-08-11  stefanoleccardi: I got it ! Qxd4 is not so difficult, the king has no escape case !

  gawain: It is astonishing that this should happen to a GM. Even in a blitz game. Wow.

For the record, I did get this one--unlike yesterday's. The most spectacular available move turns out to be the right move, and it remained only to work out the consequences.

Mar-08-11  Dr. J: Even earlier: B Blumenfeld vs NN, 1903. Is there earlier still?
Mar-08-11  Patriot: <<fm avari viraf>: I keep teaching such traps to my students but how come a young GM Karjakin could fall a victim to the kenspeckle 8.Qxd4! & the Black King is in shambles.>

How could Kramnik miss a mate in one? Simple...Even the top players are only human.

<<BOSTER>: Reading many comments in this site you can create the image that chess is collection of many simple rules. But if one from the top players in the world lost the game after 8 moves (even in blitz), maybe chess has something more then such "collection".>

Yep...it's called being human. But that doesn't detract from the need to have principles/techniques/methods in chess. Top players use them but they still have bad days.

Dec-19-18  OrangeTulip: This is also starring in one of the 2 dvd’s by Simon Williams on the English. To be advised for positional players who like a setup with c4, Pc3, and g3.

  HeMateMe: I like the pun, terrific imagination.
Dec-19-18  thegoodanarchist: Today's pun is based on the title of a movie that won an Oscar for Best Picture.

And it was possibly the most boring "Best Picture" winner in the history of the Academy Awards.

  HeMateMe: it was a complete snooze. I sat through the movie and still don't know what it was about.

Yesterday the GotD pun was supplied by User: chessbug2. No relation, I hope!

<Chessbug2> kibited 8 times to chessgames.com, since 2013.

You, User: chessbug, have kibitzed 12 times in your 12 years as a member.

Keep up the good work!

  FSR: <thegoodanarchist> <HeMateMe> Totally agree with your assessments of the movie. Painfully boring. I fell asleep at it, which was much better than watching the thing.
Oct-26-19  sea7kenp: All the way from Move 8, White's been yelling at Black: "TAKE MY QUEEN!" But Black chose to lose at his own pace.
