Loluores: Queen takes knight!....wrong |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by Loluores: 4:06pm On May 23, 2016 |
GeneralShepherd: Hehehe, queen takes knight, pawn takes queen, and there's no follow-up, cuz you can't get any rook to the h-file. You're down material, your b2 rook hangs too. A line might go 1...Qxg3 2.hxg3 Nf2+ 3.Kh2 and if ...Nd3 4.Qc3 and if ...Ree2 5.Qxd3 threatening 6.d5+ and the rooks on the second rank can't do anything to the h2 king. Try again. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by questa: 2:47pm On May 24, 2016 |
Loluores:This should be Kasparov vs Karpov in Berlin. 1...QXd4 2.Rd1 Nf2+ 3.Kg1 Nxd1+ 4.Kf1 Qf2# |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by Loluores: 3:04pm On May 24, 2016 |
questa: Ahh, we've got an aficionado here! Nice. That's cool you remember/know the game, cuz truthfully I don't know it I'm not at that game-recalling level yet oh. ...Qxd4 is a strong move, probably the strongest, tryna clear off potential passed pawns. There's an equally strong (and prettier) move here though, try and find it. |

BenFlash: I hope this is actually as decent as it seems. I'll probably drop by one of these days |

I don't know why my responses on this thread (replies to loluores' chess puzzle) are being hid. Is that a human moderator that doesn't like my post, or a bot that is overworked? |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by ositadima1(m): 6:19am On May 29, 2016 |
Loluores: 1...Qf3 2.Qxb2 Nf2+ 3.Qxf2 Qxf2 |

Loluores:I saw Qf3 but what happens after White plays h3 in response to that? |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by Loluores: 10:57pm On May 31, 2016 |
InesQor: 2.h3 Qxg3 (threatens ...Qh2#) 3.hxg4 (forced) Qh4# |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by ositadima1(m): 10:58pm On May 31, 2016 |
White had to take rook b2 to protect against Nf2# checkmate. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by InesQor(m): 11:07pm On May 31, 2016 |
Loluores:Ah I missed that h4 checkmate. Urgh I have gotten so rusty. Thanks! I was going to argue that the Qxd4 was better, but this might be better. |
