 | | chessgames.com: <Even Stockfish thinks that 37.Bxg7!! leads to draw rather than to win.> At a sufficient search depth Stockfish finds the win: analysis of move 37.? Apparently Black can delay the mate for a while by giving up ruinous amounts of material. |

| Mar-26-20 | | newzild: I found this to be as easy this time as I did six years ago, but expected 43. Re3 instead of 43. Re5, which invites the temporary defence 43...h6. Can anyone see a reason for 43. Re5? |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I went with Bf6 followed by Re1, but the engine says that's too slow because of the defense ... ab followed by ... Qa3, which I didn't even think to consider. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Walter Glattke: Black has a rook for a bishop, the Li (mile or ratio), in Japan Ri now let him play 37.Bxg7, a simple club player had draw with 37.Qg5 f6 38.Bxf6 Rf8 so 37.Bxg7 Kxg7 38.Qg5+ Kf8 39.Qf6 Kg8 … time control 42.Re1 possible now Rf8, d3 axb4 42.axb4 43.Re5 h6 44.Rh5 Qxa3 to answer 45.Rxh6 with Qc1+ 46.Kh2 Qxh6 therefore 46.Qxh6 f6 and resign, black could play 46.-Qa1+ 47.Kh2 Qxd4 48.Rg5+! Option: 37.-f5 38.Bf6 Rg7 (38.-Re8? 39.Qg5+ Kf7 40.Qg7#) wins for white. |

 | | scormus: <newzild> Relieved I'm not the only one to wonder why not 43 Re3 I wasn't sure what to choose for move 37. I wondered about Bxg7 but what if not ... Kxg7 ? I was inclined to go for 37 Qg5. I suppose it would continue .... f5 38 Bf6 39 Be7 Re8. Hmmm, it's not very convincing :( No marks today, time for engine |

Can anyone see a reason for 43. Re5?>
Sorry, but if you went for 43. Re3 you didn't solve it. Black can play 43...Qxa3!, which forces white to take the draw by repetition. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | saturn2: 37. Bxg7 Kx7 now white has to play
38 Qg5 first because the immediate 38.Re1 is answered by Rg8 and this seems to hold. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Olsonist: Why 45. Qxa6 rather Rxa6 with a back rank mate to follow after black exhausts their checks? I must be missing something because the Stockfish annotation doesn’t mention anything. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | saturn2: <Olsonist: Why 45. Qxh6 rather Rxh6> 45. Rxh6 Qc1+ 46. Kh2 Qxh6 |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Olsonist: Thanks. I think White still wins that but maybe it’s not forced in 10. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Walter Glattke: I showed that Rh6? Qc1, too. But bad end, if Rg5+ then. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Walter Glattke: 45.-f6 46.Qxf6 Qc1+ 47.Kh2 Rg7 48.Qxd8+ Kf7 49.Rf5+ Kg6 50.Qf6+ Kh7 51.Rh5+ Kg8 52.d7 Qf4+ 53.Qxf4 Rxd7 54.Qe5 Kf8 55.Rh8+ wins, but no immediate mate. |

| Mar-26-20 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: I think the idea for today's puzzle comes from Simon Williams' same puzzle dating only 6 days ago: https://youtu.be/bmQFsSe346w?t=330 |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | TheaN: Oh darn. I saw the concept of this puzzle, concluding Black might not be allowed to take on g7 but in that case be lost anyway. However, I was set on Qg5-f6-Re1-Re3 to pretty much any defense, but I missed the axb4 with Qxa3! idea which is a very sneaky defensive concept. Re5 with h6 complicates things beyond what I saw, so no points today. |

 | | gawain: This was hard! I failed badly, except for seeing that White would at some point threaten checkmate delivered by queen and pawn (by Qh8). But all I could see for White after that threat was a draw by repetition. |
|
| Mar-26-20 | | Walter Glattke: Option to Lee -Lasker, seems to win also without RxB : 37.-Qg4+ 38.Kf1 Qg2+ 39.Ke1 Qg1+ 40.Kd2 Nd3 (threatens Qc1#) 41.Bxd3 cxd3 42.Qe1! but 40.-Ng2 41.Qf2 Bf3 42.Qxf3? Qe1# |
