| Sep-12-17 | | stst: The position has it both g1, g2 for the P are protected, so go Q-sac Tuesdy: 36...... QxR+
37.KxQ (what else? left her around to do more harm?/) Bc5+
38.Kh2 (Poor monarch, left alone limping) g1=Q (& protected!!) ..... the devastating state... White meaningless to continue |

| Sep-12-17 | | jffun1958: <Phony Benoni: Well, the mate after 37.Kg3 isn't that hard: 37...Qe1+ 38.Kg4 g1Q# 39.Kf5 / Kh5 Qg6#.>
39. Kh5 Qh4# . |

 | | FSR: 36...Qxg1+ is strong like bull. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | WorstPlayerEver: <Steve.Patzer: What did 36. Rg1 accomplish?> The ways of the Lord are unfathomable. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | AlicesKnight: 36.... Qxg1+ either precipitates a 2-queen death after 37.Kg3 Qe1+, or allows a new Q and mate after 37.Kxg1 Bc5+; 38.K moves g1=Q. 34.Kh2 permits a pretty finish but with ...Bc5 in the offing White looks doomed; e.g. 34.Rxf3 Bxf3 ad the other R cannot recapture because of the mate on g1. If 36. R else on rank, ...Qf2 prepares a fatal double-check. |

| Sep-12-17 | | Al2009: Bobby Fischer was watching the game at this point, and when Bisguier took the Rook, Bobby smiled and said: "Good. This time old Arthur did not blunder!" Fischer was referring to this game:
Fischer vs Bisguier, 1963
where Bisguier made a horrible mistake (26...Rxb2??), throwing away a game that Fischer himself evaluated as "perfectly equal" in his "My 60 memorable games". |

| Sep-12-17 | | Lambda: I spent most of my time staring at the position trying to work out what was wrong with simply 36... Bc5 |

 | | Once: <Lambda:I spent most of my time staring at the position trying to work out what was wrong with simply 36... Bc5> I wondered about that too. 36...Qxg1+ seemed a little too obvious so I looked for other ways to win. If g1 is so weak, what happens if we pile up on it with another piece? White is hardly about to launch a counter-attack. Fritzie says there are multiple ways to win today, although the game continuation is the fastest. 36...Bc5 is perfectly fine. It's Fritz's second choice with an eval of over -10. White can't save his rook. For giggles I asked Fritz to evaluate the position as if it was white to move instead of black. He still thinks that black is winning by more than -5. 36...Qxg1+ has to be the puzzle "solution" as it is so forcing. But nearly every none silly move also wins. Including giving white the move! |

| Sep-12-17 | | Pasker: Easy and also a rare one |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | DarthStapler: Easy indeed |
|
Sep-12-17
 | | Richard Taylor: Yes. O.k. 2 so far. Nice sac! |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | morfishine: <36...Qxg1+> and Black wins ***** |

 | | PawnSac: it doesn't get any easier than this. nice game by Bisguier |
|

 | | kevin86: Black sacs queen for rook, chases the king away, then repromotes to mate. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | lzromeu: 27Qe4 >bad move
The game is lost here |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | jdc2: This seemed a lot easier than yesterday's problem, didn't even have to switch the board around to look at it from Black's point of view. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | Magpye: Qxg1+ wins.
I dream of playing moves like this. Unfortunately, my opponents find them first. |
|

 | | thegoodanarchist: There's a little Black queen on g1 today...
It's the same ol' thin' as yesterday....
I've stood here before inside the pouring rain
with the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping I will win with mate
but it's my destiny to be the king of pain... |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | The Kings Domain: Sweet puzzle and an impressive positional game by Bisguier. |
|
| Sep-12-17 | | waustad: Certainly one time he didn't misfire. |
|
Sep-13-17
 | | gawain: I tried 36...Qxg1+ right away but I imagined (wrongly) that Black would then be able to skewer the white Q and K with 37...Bc5+ and 38...Bc4. No, not quite! After absorbing that disappointment I did see the actual winning continuation. |

Bisguier's notes to this game revolve all around the Black e-pawn. 2...e6
'The hero-to-be makes an inconspicuous entry.'

'First Blood. Our Private Pawn forcibly seizes control of an important central square.' 19...dxe4
'Chomp! Our PFC bravely wins promotion to a corporal.' 21...exf3
'Chomp! This unit just killed it's 3rd enemy pawn. Give it some Sergeants stripes.' 25...Qd5

One funny thing I noted in the final position.
38.Kxg8 Bc5+ 39.Kh2 now not the mundane 39...g1=Q mate but 39...h5 40 e6 threatening Qc3+ and Qxc5 which would be 1-0. The brave Black Pawn does not take the General's rank but becomes a Padre. 39..g1=B+ 40.Kg3 Bcf2 mate.
