Jan-15-24 Rapport vs N Sarin, 2022    raymondhow: Starting the puzzle one move earlier would have made a more traditional Monday.      Jan-11-24 A A Lopez vs E Schiller, 2012    raymondhow: I got the first four moves, then went in for knight sac 41.Ng5+ and planned to follow up with 42.Qc1. Seems to work just as well, as does the immediate 41.Qc1.      Dec-23-23 Quinteros vs Ribli, 1974    raymondhow: I chose the simple looking 18...Nb1, apparently works even better. The engine actually prefers three different moves to 18...dxe3.      Dec-20-23 I Rogers vs Y Terada, 1979    raymondhow: By far the easiest puzzle of the week.      Dec-18-23 R Byrne vs D Byrne, 1958    raymondhow: How can that be a Monday puzzle? I went with 47...Qh6 which apparently will lead to a winning advantage, though not as strong as the game move.      Dec-11-23 N Tolstikh vs S Ionov, 2000    raymondhow: Being a mate in 3 (or actually 4) this puzzle should have been saved for a Tuesday.      Dec-08-23 Miles vs Geller, 1980   raymondhow: I got the first four moves, then wanted to play 34.f4 which doesn't follow up the subsequent attack.      Dec-06-23 Gipslis vs Kaidanov, 1990    raymondhow: First move was fairly obvious, second move tricky. I kept trying to make 39.Qg8+ or 39.Rg3+ work, but eventually settled on the game move.      Nov-22-23 U Boensch vs A Vaisser, 1984    raymondhow: I got it in my head that 35...Rh4 would lead to quick mate, but alas...      Nov-19-23 F La Rota vs M Valvo, 1979    raymondhow: Got the first four moves, then went for 16.b3 which the engine likes better than the game move.
