 | | Bubo bubo: White has missed that his back rank, although seemingly well defended, is indeed weak, since Black has a sneaky bishop move: 24...Be3+! 25.Kb1 Qxf1+ and mate after either 26.Rxf1 Rd1+ 27.Rxd1 Rxd1# or 26.Bxf1 Rd1#. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | morfishine: <24...Be3+> forces mate: 25.Kb1 Qxf1+! 26.Rxf1 (or 26.Bxf1 Rd1#) 26...Rd1+ 27.Rxd1 Rxd1 mate *Like others stated, seems easy for a Wednesday puzzle *****
<Cheapo by the Dozen> In your line:
18 Rhf1 b5
19 Bb3 Qg3????
20 Be1 (what else?)??? Much better for White is taking the Queen 20.fxg3 Must be a typo |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | gars: Easy for a Wednesday and, believe me, I am a weak player. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | Chess Dad: I think I might actually be 3/3 for the week so far. That's kind of rare. 24...Be3+
25. Kb1 Qxf1+
26. Rxf1 Rd1+
27. Rxd1 Rxd1# |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | zb2cr: 24. ... Be3+ leads to forced mate as follows:
25. Kb1, Qxf1+; 26. Rxf1 (if 26. Bxf1, Rd1#), Rd1+; 27. Rxd1, Rxd1#. I'll go along with <TheBish> and say, "Incredibly easy for a Wednesday!" |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | wooden nickel: 24. ... b5 would have done the trick but like they say "Check whenever you can, it may be mate!" which seems to fit perfectly here! |
|

 | | Penguincw: Yes! I got this puzzle: 24...Be3+ 25.Kb1 Qxf1+ 26.(any move) followed by mate on d1. 3/3 this week (which hasn't happened for me in weeks, if not months). |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | tobywan: Awright, you spoilsports, stop with all the "easy Monday" stuff. Get this: I solved a Wednesday problem. :-P |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | patzer2: Correction: Oops! Today's is a Wednesday (not a Tuesday) puzzle. It was so easy, it seemed like a Tuesday puzzle. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | Imran Iskandar: I'm three for three this week! |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | Lighthorse: Yes, this was an easy one for a Wednesday. Does that mean they're going to wallop us tomorrow with an insane problem? |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | kyg16: Black player's name is shouting for a pun, please let's a find a good game by him and it's piece of cake. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | YetAnotherAmateur: Easy enough - Be3+ 25. Kb1 Qxf1+ and white can't escape the inevitable. 20. Bxf6? basically makes the game unwinnable. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | JG27Pyth: There's a pun bonanza here...(some rejects: Boo, Hess...Platz of luck...) My #1 Platz! Foiled again.
Even the punning is easy for a Wednesday. ;) |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | Jim Bartle: Oh, I wish I could defeat C Hess. Vengeance would be mine. Even defeating C Hess, Jr. would be satisfying. |

 | | Once: It's a shame that black's name isn't Christian Heck instead of Christian Hess... Here's the position after 20. Bxf6?
click for larger viewWhite thinks he has just won a pawn and skewered the black rooks. He has missed the crafty queen check 20. Qf4+ winning white's Bf6. Fast forward to our puzzle position.
click for larger viewWhite has just played 24. Rdf1. He is still a piece down and no doubt playing for tricks by pinning the Bf2. But he misses yet another check on the c1-h6 diagonal. C. Hess delivers C. Heckmate by giving a C. Heck on the same diagonal that he earlier used to win a piece. The C. Heel of it! White handed the game to him on a platz. |

 | | kevin86: Are you kidding, <Once>? C-Hess spells CHESS. Black forces mate with the queen sac-it is a tad long for a Monday puzzle, but otherwise it fits it to a tee. |

| Dec-10-14 | | siggemannen: <chrisowen>, what do you mean with your post???? :S |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | M.Hassan: "Medium/Easy"
Black to play 24...?
Black has a Knight for a pawn.
At first I got very much tempted by 24...b5 winning a Bishop for a pawn before I saw the back rank mate:24..........Be3+
25.Kb1 Qxf1+
26.Rxf1 Rd1+
27.Rxd1 Rxd1#
It looks like White could have easily stopped Black by moving his Bishop to d3 after Black doubled his Rooks: 23..........Red7
24.Bd3 Be3+
25.Kb1 Qg5
26.Qb3
Any comments? |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | Halldor: Bomb d1 and all its defenders! Only easy for me after yesterdays puzzle. |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | stst: see only this forced mate as White K is locked at back rank: 24..... .Be3+
25. Kb1 QxR+
26. RxQ RxR+
27.RxR RxR# |
|
| Dec-10-14 | | TheaN: Wednesday 11 December 2014 <24....?> After quite a long day I'm glad this wednesday puzzle is a relatively easy back rank mate, although the rank seems adequately defended. After 1) <24....Be3+ 25.Kb1> forcing the king away, 2) <25....Qxf1+ 26.Rxf1> removing one rook from defense, and then 3) <26....Rd1+ 27.Rxd1 Rxd1# 0-1> black has enough with one reload on d1. |

 | | Longview: I would have loved to see the clocks on this game. I wonder how long it took Black to see the move 19....Re7 and not worry about the unprotected f6 pawn or the skewer of the rooks. I went back 19. to look for a better move for White. I did not see what the computer suggested 19. Qb4. I liked Ba5 attacking the black queen but this was easily refuted with b6. |

| Dec-10-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: <morphishine> -- g3, b6 -- let's just say I got turned around! :) |
