32...Ne3 33. Qf3 Nxd1
Happy New Year's All (if it's really new, it may be a fake!) |

 | | Penguincw: Happy 2019 to those who are in 2019.
Hmm, I did get the puzzle, but it's a bit weird. Thought there would be more to it. Oh well. 1/1 this week, month and year. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Black is up a pawn. ... Ne6 wins the exchange unless the knight is captured. But if it is captured, Black gets and immediate pawn, and White's pinned knight turns out to be unsalvageable too. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | Steve.Patzer: I saw that immediately. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | stacase: Not your usual Queen sac Monday but easy enough. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | Stale.Mate: Which is better 34. ... Qxd3 or Rxd3? Same? |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | SamAtoms1980: Bishops of opposite colors favor the attacker…… so start attacking. 32....Ne3 33.fxe3 Qxe3+ and 34....Rxd3 and it's pretty clear that Black is rolling. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | Walter Glattke: Black has a pawn more and threatens Bxb2,
hence A) 32-.Ne3 33.fxe3 Qxe3+ 34.Kh2 Rxd3
A2) 33.Qe2 Nxd1 B) 32.Qxe3 33.fxe3 Nxe3 34.Qg3 Rxd3 lose C) 32.-Bxb2 wins.
Happy New Year to all kibitzers. |

| Jan-01-19 | | saturn2: I saw
32...Ne3 33. fxe3 Qxe3+ 34. Kh1 Rxd3 35. Nf1 Qd4 36. Qe2 Bxb2 etc Black is up 3 pawns and can clear off other pieces from the board. Good luck for 2019. |

| Jan-01-19 | | agb2002: Black is a pawn up.
The white bishop is defenseless. This suggests 32... Ne3 33.fxe3 Qxe3+: A) 34.Kf1 (to protect the rook with the king) 34... Qxd3+ 35.Ke1 Be5 A.1) 36.Ne4 Qe3+
A.1.a) 37.Qe2 Qf1+ 37.Qf1 Rd1+ wins the queen.
A.1.b) 37.Kf1 Rxd1 38.Qxd1 Qxe4 - + [b+2p].
A.2) 36.Nf1 Qxd1+ 37.Qxd1 Rxd1+ 38.Kxd1 Bxb2 - + [b+3p vs n]. A.3) 36.Kf2 Bxb2 - + [b+3p vs n].
B) 34.Kh1(2) Qxd3
B.1) 35.b4 Bc3 36.Qf3 Bxd2 37.Qxd3 Rxd3 wins the knight. B.2) 35.Qf3 Qc2 will win the knight. Or 35... Qxf3 36.gxf3 Bxb2 followed by Bc3 (37.Rb1 Rxd2). |

 | | Dionysius1: I like the puzzle. After the final position Black wins more Q-side pawns while White deals with threats to the pinned ♘d2. So it's more than just how to win the ♙f2 |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | landshark: Good puzzle - more of a positional one and for instance, 34.... Rxd3 while tempting looks messy after 35. Nc4 - so there are ways to go wrong also. I stared at it for too long last night (go figure) and saw the right continuation but wasn't sure - it took the clear light of day for me to see it right, which is 34.... Qxd3 with the reasons given by <agb2002> etc. I think this is unusually deep for a Tuesday - |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | zb2cr: 32. ... Ne3 deploys a fork against the White Queen and Rook, while discovering an attack against the White Bishop. I wish I could play such economical moves! White can lose the exchange, by moving the Queen along the diagonal, or can play 33. fxe3, Qxe3+; 34. Kh1, Qxd3. Black is threatening the pinned Knight, which will likely fall, leaving an easy endgame win. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | AlicesKnight: Black, a P up, wins another by ....Ne3; 33.fxe3 Qxe3+ regaining the piece (d3). Not a summary execution but enough to be sure with positional advantage too; the b2 pawn looks out to dry. |
|
| Jan-01-19 | | whiteshark: A successful settlement |

 | | Breunor: Stale.mate,
Stockfish likes Qxd3 (-6.9) a little more than Rxd3 (-4.2) but both win easily. |
