Jan-19-19 | | ChessHigherCat: FishStick says I missed fxg5 in the first line: (+2.00) 33...Qa7 34. fxg5 Qxb6 35. Qd3 d5 36. Kh1 Shucks, fellars |
|
Jan-19-19 | | mqhelisi: Mine was 33....Qxf6 34.fxg5 Qf2+ 35. Kh1 Qxe3 (Qxh3 and Rf2 so strong) |
|
Jan-19-19 | | s0030135: I wonder if today's puzzle could be considered a spoiler. I thought 33...Nxh3+ 34.Rxh3 Qa7 wins for Black, but then after that White has 35.Kg2! Qxb6 36.Rxh7+ Kxh7 38.Qh1+ Nh6 40. Qxh6+ mating. |

White threatens fxg5 and Rxa5.
Black has Nxf6, Qxf6 and Qa7.
In the case of 33... Qxf6 34.Nd5, protecting the rook with tempo and followed by fxg5, doesn't look good for Black. In the case of 33... Qa7 34.fxg5 Qxb6 35.Qd2 (35.Kf2 Nxf6) White seems to solve its problems. Therefore, 33... Nxf6:
A) 34.fxg5 Ng4
A.1) 35.hxg4 Qf2+ 36.Kh1 Qxe3 looks winning. For example, 37.Nd5 Qxe4+ 38.Kg1 (38.Kh2 Rf2+ and mate in two) 38... Qxg4+ 39.Kh1 Rf2 wins. A.2) 35.Rg3 Qf2+ 36.Kh1 Qh2#.
A.3) 35.Qf1 Qxf1+ 36.Rxf1 Rxf1+ 37.Kxf1 Nxe3+ followed by 38... Nxc2 - + [r+p vs N]. B) 34.Qd3 Ngxe4 35.Rxe4 Nxe4 36.Qxe4 Qa7 37.Qe3 Rb8 38.Nd5 Qxe3+ 39.Nxe3 exf4 40.Nc4 unclear but there's probably a better option for Black at move 34. |
|
Jan-19-19 | | Patriot: <agb2002> Black also has 33...Nxh3+ 34.Rxh3 Qa7. I'm not saying it's great but it is something to consider because white cannot defend the knight on b6. 33...Nxf6 is far more logical than 33...Nxh3+ though because it considers the x-ray battery down the F-file. |

I'm not saying it's great but it is something to consider because white cannot defend the knight on b6.> Trying to take advantage of pins along the a7-g1 diagonal is probably one of the first ideas that comes to mind. However, I was unable to find a convincing line around this motif and started to look at the f-file. In my opinion, the difficult part of this puzzle is the rejection of the offer with 34.Qd3, which I'm afraid I considered only superficially, or 34.Rxa5, which I ignored because some mundane things needed attention. |
