is it free just come n learn or is their a gate fee?

Hmm, BenFlash, prolly what I've been looking for in Lagos for quite a while now. Hope the place is as good as it sounds.


Puzzle time, people. Black wins. How?

Queen takes knight!....wrong

GeneralShepherd:


Queen takes knight!....wrong

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.

This should be Kasparov vs Karpov in Berlin. 1...QXd4 2.Rd1 Nf2+ 3.Kg1 Nxd1+ 4.Kf1 Qf2#

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.

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

Guys I'd love if u can drop by to support the kids. We had fun last weekend, here are some of the photos:

@Jumbledwords: decent enough? Lotsa work to be done but with ur support n constructive criticisms we shall get there but it was mad fun.

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?

1...Qf3 2.Qxb2 Nf2+ 3.Qxf2 Qxf2

ositadima1:


1...Qf3 2.Qxb2 Nf2+ 3.Qxf2 Qxf2

Exactly. A 'discovered pin' along the second. Nice one.

I saw Qf3 but what happens after White plays h3 in response to that?

InesQor:

I saw Qf3 but what happens after White plays h3 in response to that?

2.h3 Qxg3 (threatens ...Qh2#) 3.hxg4 (forced) Qh4#

White had to take rook b2 to protect against Nf2# checkmate.

Loluores:


2.h3 Qxg3 (threatens ...Qh2#) 3.hxg4 (forced) Qh4#

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.

Wesley So wins the Singuefield 2016 tournament after Topalov missed a win to take the tournament into tiebreaker.
