Sep-13-17 | | stst: It's an intimate body-massage, or, a zig-zag "Wing-Chuan": 32.QxP+ KxQ
33.Rh3+ Kg6
34.Rh6+ Kg5
35.h4+ Kg4
36.Ne3+ Kg3
37.Rf3#
The monarch is forced, one step per move, until stopped by all nails around him. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | saturn2: After Qh7 the king is chased to death. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | jith1207: Wednesday = Monday + Tuesday. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | AlicesKnight: 32.Qxh7+ leads to a forced one-way mate (.... Kxh7; 33.Rh3+ Kg6; 35.Rh6+ etc). Not uncommon;  click for larger view shows a very similar pattern by Spielmann (v. our friend NN in 1913) |
|
Sep-13-17 | | latebishop: I believe these kind of mates used to be called corkscrew mates which I think is apt. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | groog: Seems more like a Tuesday puzzle. |

... out of breath n coffin his lungs out. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | malt: < ChessHigerCat Queen sac Wednesday > 32.Q:h7+ K:h7 33.Rh3+ Kg6 34.Rh6+ Kg5
35.h4+ Kg4 "Come into my parlour"
36.Ne3+ Kg3 37.Rf3# |
|
Sep-13-17 | | ozmikey: These "single-line" puzzles are usually fairly straightforward. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | diagonalley: easy (practically plays itself!) ... but very pleasing |
|
Sep-13-17 | | morfishine: <32.Qxh7+> starts the march of death ***** |
|
Sep-13-17 | | ndg2: Dead man walking, starting with 32.Qxh7+ |
|
Sep-13-17
 | | gawain: I love <ndg2>'s comment: <Dead man walking.> Perfect. Too bad Black, having played along so far, did not gallantly play just one more move to allow the mate to appear on the board. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | alphee: Those queen sacrifices are always very nice .... |
|
Sep-13-17 | | ChatGrognon: Can Black avoid checkmate after Rh3? |
|
Sep-13-17
 | | kevin86: mate comes next move. |
|
Sep-13-17
 | | kevin86: a queen sac sets it off. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | stacase: Black's King was frog walked h7, g6, g5, g4, <mate> |
|
Sep-13-17 | | Walter Glattke: White also wins with 32.Rh3 Rg7
(or 32.-Rxg2+ / 32.-Qxf5) 33.Nxg7 Kxg7
34.Qh6+ Kg8 35.Rg3+ Qg4 36.Rxg4+ Kh8
37.Qg7# mate in move 37, too. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | DarthStapler: Got it |
|
Sep-13-17 | | Sally Simpson:  click for larger viewFairly straight forward. Black's last move was 31....Nb6-d7 desperately trying to get the Knight to f8. I took the easy way. (the lazy way) I did the first 4 moves in my head, switched to the actual game, played it out my obvious chosen moves, got to here.  click for larger viewAnd you see right away 36...Ne3 + and MNM.
OTB of course you have to work it all out, but there have been times in the past when OTB I have gone for such a position as I did above, knowing 'there must be mate - I'll dig it out when I get there.' usually I was right and I did. |

Sep-13-17 | | ruzon: <Walter Glattke: White also wins with 32.Rh3 Rg7...> 32.Rh3 Nf8.
I only saw that 32.Qxh7+ Kxh7 33.Rh3+ Kg6 34.R2f3? Qxf5! 35.exf5+ Kg7 and Black escapes with a Knight for a pawn. No points for me. |
|
Sep-13-17 | | mqhelisi: 36.Ne3 Hashtag..... saw it quick this time |
|
Sep-13-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: Nice puzzle as it is authentic! |
|
Sep-19-17 | | LivBlockade: The game Sutovsky vs Smirin, 2002 had a nearly identical finish. |
