| BxChess: <jsteward:> I thought 28..Qxf7 29. Rxd8 Qc7 intending 30. Red1 and 31. Rh8+. Unfortunately 30....Nd5 wrecks that cunning plan. Probably the simple 30. Rd4 gives white the eventual win, as <vdemian> says. |

Jun-14-25 Carlsen vs Rapport, 2019
| |
| BxChess: This game appeared as a puzzle (39. White to move) in a recent column by Leonard Barden in The Guardian. The game move 39. Bxf6+ won quickly, but the move I chose, 39. Nxf6 is also winning. I envisaged the follow-up 39...Rxf6, but Stockfish says 39...Nxh4 is better for black but ... |

May-28-25 P H Clarke vs Speelman, 1976
| |
| BxChess: Nice puzzle. The first move 28. ...Nxh2 is sort of obvious since you know it is a puzzle. The move I didn't see from the puzzle position was 31. ...Qf4+, after which comes the payoff. |

May-27-25 Norway Chess (2025)
| |
| BxChess: After round 1, the scores at the top of the page appear to be inconsistent with the scoring described for the tournament. As I understand these, there should be three points for a win, and each drawn game is followed by an Armageddon game, to score 1.5/1.0. |

May-14-25 S Conquest vs Grischuk, 2000
| |
| BxChess: A fat finger error? Perhaps the Weds puzzle should have been 39...? Many of these puzzles appear to be automatically generated based upon a computer identified sacrfice. |
