White can sham sac his B on e5; after
34.Qc4+ Kh8 35.Be5+ Ng7 <35...Rxe5 36.Qc8+ Re8 37.Qxe8#> 36.Bxg7+ Kh7 now white can take d4 with dis+: 37.Bxd4+ Re7 <37...Kh6 38.Be3+ g5 39.Qh4+ Kg6 40.Qxg5#> 38.Rxe7+ Kh6 39.Bf7+ or 39...Be3+, black cannot avoid mateInstead of taking d4 with 37.Bxd4+, white could also play 37.Bf8+ Re7 <37...Kh8 38.Rh7+ Kxh7 39.Qf7+ and # next> 38.Rxe7+ Kh8 39.Rh7+ Kxh7 40.Qf7+ and mate next.> Sorry but I missed a move in my line. The correct one is 31... h3+ 32. Kg1 Qe1+ 33. Qf1 Nxg3 34. fxg3 and now 34... Qd2 instead of 34... Qe3+. |

Mar-01-13 | | David2009: T Nyback vs M Matthiesen, 2003 Black 31...? 31...h3+ looks good: (A) 32.Kf1? Qe1#; (B) 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 32.Qf1 d3 33.Bf4 Nd4 threatening Ne2+ etc; (C) 32.Kxh3 Ne3+ 33.Kh4 Ng2+ 34.Kb5 Qd5+ 35.Kxg6 Re6#. If Kh6 Qh5# and if Kf6 Re6#. Time to
check:
====
I missed the best continuation after 31...h3+ 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 32.Qf1 namely 32...Nxg3!. 32...d3 also wins but more slowly. Here's the puzzle position colours reversed

Mar-01-13 | | abuzic: <fokers13: Does a Qa2-c2-d2 plan win also? > Indeed, after 31...h3+ 32.Kg1 Qa2 wins, for example: 33.Qd1 Qc2 34.Qf1 d3 35.Rc7 Qd2 36.Rc1 Qe2 this is winning for black but has spoiled the momentum of the mating attack |
|
Mar-01-13 | | James D Flynn: White is 2 pawns up and has a R on the 7th rank, however, his back rank looks vulnerable and Black can force his K to retreat there by 31……h3+ 32.Kg1(if Kxh3 Ne3+ 33.Kh4 Ng2+ 34.Kg5 Qd5+ 35.Kxg6(if Kh6 Qh5#) Re6#) Qe1+ 36.Qf1 d3(not Qxb4 37.Qxh3 Re1+ 38.Kg2 Ng7 39.Ra8+ Kf2 40.Qd7+ Kf6 41.Ra6+ Kg5 42.Qg4+ Kh6 43.Qxg6#) 37.Rd7 d2(threat 38…..Qxf1+ 39.Kxf8 Re1#) 38.Rxd2 Qxd2 39.Qc4+ Kg7 40.Qc7+ Re7 41.Be5+ Kh7 and White runs out of checks , he is a R down and has answer to the back rank mate threats. |

Mar-01-13 | | abuzic: <Kiril Simeonovski>
That clarifies the idea. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | patzer2: <abuzic> Thanks for the analysis of 31...h3+ 32. Kxh3 Ne3+ 33. Kh4 Ng2+ 34. Kg5 (I got that far in my calculation, but missed the next move) 35. Qd5+! .<SuperPatzer77> Thanks for the analysis 35. Kh1 Qxf3+! 36. Kg1 Re1! (mate soon to follow) which for me really emphasizes the deflection (removing the guard) theme here in this combination. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | abuzic: <patzer2>
I like to call this 31...h3+: a pawn on h3 is worth a ... Queen. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | snakebyt: I started off with 31....Ne3+ and played it out to blk win. I see now that h3+ is mo betta. |

Mar-01-13 | | kevin86: mate follows:35 ♔h1 ♕xf3+!! 36 ♕xf3 ♖e1+ and mate next} or a brutal finish follows 35 ♕f2 ♕c1+ 36 ♕f1 ♖e1...a fate worse than death... |
|
Mar-01-13 | | BOSTER: <SoberKnight> <Someone please post the variations>. Puzzle can't begin with such rude move like 31...hxg3.
So 31...h3+
Here white has two possibilities to take the pawn or refute it.
If 32.Kxh3 Ne3+ 33.Kh4 Ng2+ 34.Kg5 Qd5+
all line is forced. Now if 35.Kg4 Qh5#
if 35.Kf6 Re6#
if 35.Kxg6 Re6#
if 35.Be5 Rxe5+ 36. Kg4 Rg5+ 37.Kh3 Nf4+ and then Nxd3 ,if after 36.Kh6 Rh5+ 37.Kxg6 Nf4+ 38.Kf6 Qe5#. If 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 33. Qf1 d3 now if 34.Bf4 Nd4(or Nh4) and white has no defense against Nxf3+. if 34.Rd7 d2 35.Rxd2 Qxd2 36. Qxh3 Re1+ 37.Kg2 Ne3#
if 34.Rd7 d2 35.f4 Qxf1+ 36. Kxf1 Re1#. |
|
Mar-01-13
 | | FSR: 31...h3+ and now:
32.Kf1?? Qe1#;
32.Kxh3? Ne3+ 33.Kh4 Ng2+! 34.Kg5 Qd5+ 35.Kxg6 (35.Kh6 Qh5#; 35.Kg4 Qh5#; 35.Kf6 Re6#) Re6#; 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 33.Qf1 Nxg3! 34.fxg3 (34.hxg3 h2+ 35.Kg2 Qxf1+ 36.Kxf1 h1(Q)+; 34.Qxe1? Rxe1#) Qe3+ 35.Kh1 (35.Qf2 Qc1+ 36.Qf1 Re1) Qxf3+! 36.Kg1 (36.Qxf3 Re1+ 37.Qf1 Rxf1#) Re1! 37.Ra8+ (trying to lure the king to the f-file so W can play Qxf3 <check>; if 37.Qxe1 Qg2#) Kg7 38.Ra7+ Kh6! and White stands up. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | Bobby Fiske: I saw the h3 theme and some of the lines, but - as usual - I could not calculate all the lines till the end. Oh Well. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | Patriot: 31...h3+ is an obvious choice.
32.Kxh3 Ne3+ 33.Kh4 Ng2+ 34.Kg5 Qd5+ (35.Kxg6 Re6#; 35.Kh6 Qh5#; 35.Kf6 Re6#; 35.Kg4 Qh5#; 35.Be5 Qxe5+ 36.Kg4 Qf5+ ) 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 33.Qf1 d3 34.Rd7 d2 35.Rxd2 Qxd2 36.Qc4+ Kh7 37.Qc7+ Re7  ---
I didn't consider 33...Nxg3 since my line seemed winning. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | Patriot: I also made a mistake in the first variation. After 35.Be5 Qxe5+ 36.Kg4, I mistakenly thought trading queens is winning there with 36...Qf5+??. 36...Qh5+ 37.Kg3 Qg5+ 38.Kh3 Nf4#. |

Mar-01-13 | | SuperPatzer77:  click for larger view<Boster:...if 35.Be5 Rxe5+ 36. Kg4 Rg5+ 37.Kh3 Nf4+ and then Nxd3...> <Boster> If 35. Be5, then 35...Rxe5+, 36. Kg4 Rg5+, 37. Kh3 Nf4+, 38. Kh4 Rh5+! (better than 38...Nxd3), 39. Kg4 (Kg3) Qg5# SuperPatzer77 |
|
Mar-01-13
 | | FSR: If 35.Be5, Rxe5+, 36.Kg4 Rg5+ 37.Kh3 Qe6+! 38.Qf5 Qxf5#. Or <Patriot>'s line 35...Qxe5+ 36.Kg4 Qh5+ 37.Kg3 Qg5+ 38.Kh3 Nf4#. |
|
Mar-01-13 | | SuperPatzer77: <FSR> Thanks for clarifying <Boster>'s line. I just helped him with my line. Take care, <FSR>

Mar-01-13 | | Pedro Fernandez: Another variation: 31...h3+ 32.Kg1 Qe1+ 33.Qf1 Nxg3 34.fxg3 Qe3+ [35.Kh1 Qxf3+ 36.Kg1 Re1! 37.Ra8+ Kh7 38.Ra7+ Kh6 39.Rf7 Rxf1 mate. |

Mar-02-13 | | talsqueen: I got this one. although I followed 33. Qf1 with d4d3. Thats a longer route, but interesting too. |

Mar-03-13 | | newzild: <Abdel Irada: <I blame the third can of Guinness!> Guinness in a can is so watered-down, I'm surprised it would have any effect.> It's 6.8 per cent alcohol. I can only imagine the percentage before being "watered down". |
|
Aug-13-13 | | AlonzoMosely: I am Martin Matthiesen. Nice to see that people have had fun with the game. It felt as if Tomi resigned because he could tell by my excitement, that I was just waiting for 35. Kh1 Qxf3+! |
