Aug-01-13		iking: Giri managed to parry all the burning missiles from Bartel

Aug-27-23		Brenin: An interesting variation on the traditional Bxh7+ sac, with White picking up two undefended back rank pieces instead of attacking the exposed K.

Aug-27-23		mel gibson: I considered the text move but I wasn't sure if it would work. Stockfish 16 says: 25. Bxh7+ (25. Bxh7+ (Be4xh7+ Kg8xh7 Nc3-e4 Qd2-c2 Qc5xf8 Qc2xe4 Qf8xc8 Qe4-d3 Qc8-c7 Kh7-g6 Qc7-c6 Rb2-a2 a3-a4 Kg6-h7 Qc6-c7 Kh7-g8 Qc7-e5 Ra2xa4 Qe5-b8+ ) +3.44/53 169) score for White +3.44 depth 53.

Aug-27-23		perfidious: Once one realises that the normal motif 25.Bxh7+ Kxh7 26.Qxf8 is not on due to the loose knight, 26.Ne4 is really the only chance, but far from easy to foresee in one's preliminary analysis.

Aug-27-23		An Englishman: Good Evening: Solved it only after spending too much time trying to trap the Black Queen. Did White see this line before playing 19.Qxc4? If yes, it ranks among the deepest traps in my experience.

Aug-27-23		Gottschalk: Nice to watch Bundesliga top games in chessgames.com!!

Aug-27-23		King.Arthur.Brazil: One possibility is: 25. Bxh7+ Kxh7 26. Ne4 Qc2 27. Qxf8 Bb7 28. Ng5+ Kg6 29. h4 Qf5 30. Qh8 Kf6 31. Qe8 Kg6 32. e4 Qf6 33. Qh8 Qe7 34. Qh7+ Kf6 35. e5#

Aug-27-23		crystalpauper: Dunno how long I have been checking out puzzles on this site, but this was the first time I cleanly solved a Sunday puzzle and did so almost immediately. Now waiting for the inevitable comparisons to a Tuesday puzzle�

Aug-27-23		scormus: Oh dear. Saw the tactical shot, but didn't realise it was the solution :(

Aug-27-23		Teyss: <Brenin> Indeed: 26.Qh5+? Kg8 27.Ne4 Qd3 or Qc2 wouldn't lead anywhere. At the end if 34...Qg4 35.Qh8+ Kg5 36.f4+ Kf6 (or give up the Q) 37.Qf8#. So Black has to defend with 34...f4 35.Qh8+: (a) 35...Kg5 36.Qxg7+ Kxh5 (Kf5 37.g4#) 37.g4+ Kh4 38.Qh6+ Kxg4 39.f3+ wins the Q. click for larger view (b) 35...Qh7 36.Qf8 attacks the R. After it moves, White will take the f4 P, Black can take the h5 P but the e6 P will also fall: White will be 3 linked Ps up, of which 2 passed, with attacking options on the BK. click for larger view

Aug-27-23		agb2002: White has a knight and a pawn for a rook. After 25.Bxh7+ Kxh7 26.Qxf8 Qxc3 the black bishop, which lacks mobility, is protected. This suggests 25.Na4: A) 25... Rb5 26.Bxh7+ Kxh7 27.Qxf8 A.1) 27... Bd7 28.Qd6 Bc8 (28... Rb7 29.Nc5 or 28... Qa5 29.Qxd7 Qxa4 30.Qxf7 Qxa3 31.Qxe6 win decisive material) 29.Nc5 Qa5 30.Qc6 Qd8 31.Rc1, with two pawns up and the threat Nxa6, looks winning. A.2) 27... Qc2 28.Nc5 A.2.a) 28... Rb8 29.Qd6 Ra8 30.Qc6 Rb8 31.Nxa6 Bb7 32.Qc7 Bxa6 33.Qxb8 Bxf1 34.Kxf1 wins three pawns. A.2.b) 28... Bb7 29.Nxb7 Rxb7 30.Qa8 Rb6 31.Qa7 Qb2 32.Qxf7 Qxa3 33.Qh5+ Kg8 34.Rb1 looks winning. B) 25... Ra2 26.Bxh7+ Kxh7 27.Qxf8 B.1) 27... Qc2 28.Nc5 wins the bishop. B.2) 27... Qa5 28.Nc5 Qc7 29.Rc1 looks very good for White. For example, 29... Rxa3 30.Nd3 Qb7 31.Ne5 Bd7 32.Qxf7. C) 25... Rxb3 26.Bxh7+ Kxh7 27.Qxf8 looks similar to previous lines.

Aug-27-23		agb2002: One of the reasons for choosing 25.Na4 is that I overlooked how dangerous is White's attack after 25.Bxh7+ Kxh7 26.Ne4 Qc2 27.Qxf8 Bb7 (I didn't pay any attention to this move after 25.Na4) 28.Ng5+ Kg6 29.h4 Qf5.
