 | | drollere: white's threat is probably Bxf6 and Qd7. the only approach that looked i useful to me for black was 31. .. Bb7, 32. Re3 Qd5, but i don't see how to progress from there. i looked at 30. .. Rxg2, 31. Kxg2 but didn't see any threat materializing after Rc2+ 32. Kg1. i missed the obvious Qxf3. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Spectacular mating pattern. Black needs all four of his pieces to make it succeed. |
|
| May-14-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Ack. I overrated the importance of the Qd8+ counterattack. |

| May-14-21 | | Walter Glattke: A) 30.-Rxg2+ 31.Kxg2 Rc2+ 32.Kh3 Bc8+ 33.g4 Qxf3+ 34.Kh4 Rxh2+ 35.Kg5 Rh5+ 36.gxh5 Qg3+ 37.Qg4 Qxg4# as in C1, A2) 33.Kh4 Rxh2+ 34.Kg5 as in match or C2
B) 32.Kg1 Qxf3 33.Qd8+ Kf7 34.Qf8 Kg6 35.Qxf6+ gxf6 no mate escape
C) 32.Qf2 Rxf2+ 33.Kxf2 Bb7 34.Ke2 -+ |

| May-14-21 | | Brenin: The first few moves are easy, 32 ... Bc8+ less so. The final position is delightful (for Black, anyway) |

 | | corneliussulla: 32.Rc4 wins easily also |
|

 | | Dionysius1: Hi <corneliussulla> and welcome to the site |
|
| May-14-21 | | stacase: I would have moved 33...Rc4 probably wins. |
|
| May-14-21 | | Brenin: 30 Be7 was careless; instead, 30 Re3 would have nullified the exchange sacrifice played, since with 32 ... Qxf3 prevented the White K is now safe on h1. |
|
| May-14-21 | | SpiritedReposte: I played ...Qxf3 instead of ...Bc8+ but I think it wins too. |
|
| May-14-21 | | nalinw: SpiritedReposte: I played ...Qxf3 instead of ...Bc8+ but I think it wins too. Me too - the engine says it is mate in 7 as opposed to mate in 6 |
|
| May-14-21 | | Cellist: Great combination. I saw it. Sadly, that means that it is probably a bit easy for a Friday ... I saw the winning 33. ... Rc4, but thought a King hunt might be quicker. Indeed, it is. |

|
| May-14-21 | | Refused: Didn't we have that puzzle a couple of months ago? 30...Rxg2+ 31.Kxg2 Rc2+
a.) 32.Kg1 Qxf3 white will run out of checks and get mated eventually
b.)33.Kh3 Bc8+ 34.Kh4 Rxh2 35.Kg5 Rh5+ 36.Kf4 Rf5# is really the only line you have to calculate. |
|
| May-14-21 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Because of little options, I guess that in this case, being a "difficult" problem, everybody found "30.Rxg2+" which is a beautiful check-mate combination. |
|
| May-14-21 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess that White could save his game, answering 26...♖c2 with 27. ♖d2 ♖fc8 28. ♖ad1. The invasion on the 2nd rank is a very DANGEROUS thing. However, Black has still the strong reply: 27...♘e4 when 28. ♕xe4? ♕xe4 29. fxe4 ♖xd2 ∓. Then White must sacrifice his ♕ with: 28. ♕xf8+ ♕xf8 29. ♖xc2 d3! and Black still have a strong attack; e.g. 31. ♖d1 ♕c5+ 32. ♔h1 ♘f2+ 33. ♔g1 ♘h3+ 34. ♔h1 ♕g1+ 35. ♖xg1 ♘f2#. It seems that White will lose more material and probably the game too, but a little later (lgs). |

| May-14-21 | | johnnydeep: A pleasing king hunt! |

May-14-21
 | | FSR: 30...Rxg2+ 31.Kxg2 Rc2+
(a) 32.Kh1? Qxf3+ 33.Kg1 Qg2#;
(b) 32.Kg1 Qxf3 leaves White helpless against the threat of Qg2#, since 33.Qd8+ Kf7 34.Qf8+ Kg6 goes nowhere; (c) 32.Kh3 Qxf3 with a crushing attack, to be continued with ...Bc8+ and ...Rxh2+, or ...Qg2+ and ...Qxh2+. |
|

| | FSR: Silly me. Of course 32...Bc8+ 33.Kh4 Rxh2+ is more incisive. But as far as I can see, my line also works. No doubt 32...Bc8+ would have dawned on me once I actually had the position on the board. |
|
| May-14-21 | | messachess: Nice problem. Nothing really tricky. |
