This was a position I had during an offhand blitz game. The timing was 3 minutes with 0 seconds increment. I was lucky to find a mate in three. So I think it fits a puzzle. Mate in 3.White to Move. 1 Like

tushbobo:Play Qg3, move away knight from e5, then Qg7# |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by tushbobo(m): 11:12am On Aug 10, 2015 |
Prince3d: No. Black will just capture the bishop on d4,defend with rook or push the g7 pawn.the 3 moves to mate are all forced. ie they are checks. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by Prince3d(m): 11:38am On Aug 10, 2015 |
tushbobo:1. Qxh6+ g7xh6 2. Nxf7+(double check) Kg7 3. Nxh6#. Right? |

tushbobo: A lil' trivia: The bishop pair, aligned such as on d3 and d4 in this position, is sometimes known as Harrwitz bishops, a nice formation to get to effectively attack the kingside castled positions. The dark squared B sweeps across the long a1-h8 diagonal, while the light squared B sweeps across the b1-h7 diagonal... occasionally, you could transfer the light squared dude up to the a2-g8 diagonal if need be, depending on the position. The power of this bishop pair enabled the Q sac to work... Qxh6+ crowns this game. If you guys can refer to the first video I posted on this thread about a K-squared match (Kasparov-Karpov, 1990, game 20) you'll see Kaspy doing almost exactly this type of game with the two bishops, doing major damage. You'll also witness him calculating like a crazy machine in the video. |

I played a nice blitz game on chess.com, 5 minutes, plus 2 secs. I had the black pieces. Just wanna share some tips, and a puzzle at the end. 1.d4 Nf6 2.e3 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.Be2 Bb7 I was preparing to play on the light squares in the centre, Nimzo-Indian/Queen's Indian style, since my opponent controlled the dark squares with his pawns (like all these d4 'system' players: Colle/Torre/London Systems). Don't worry, guys, the opening names ain't that important too much, its the strategies behind'em that are. 5.a3 Be7 6.0-0 Nc6 7.h3 Ne4 8.Nbd2 f5 consistent with the light square strategy 9.Nxe4 fxe4 10.Nd2 d5 11.c4 Na5 12.b4 Nxc4 13.Bxc4 already a small mistake. I control the light squares. You now won't wanna throw away your light squared bishop and leave my own behind dancing around these squares! Nxc4 was prolly berra. Plus, White 'dashes' a playa like me the bishop pair (lolz don’t mind me, guys, I still have my fish moments) [ 13.Nxc4 dxc4 14.Bxc4 now, see my weak chopable pawns on e4 and e6 ] 13...dxc4 14.Nxc4 0-0 15.Ne5 Bd6 16.Qh5 Qe7 17.Bb2 Ba6 18.Rfe1 Rf5 19.Qg4 Raf8 20.f3 exf3 21.Nxf3 R8f6 preparing to attack the queen 22.Rac1? Rxf3! assignment: figure out why I took the knight. 23.Qe4 Rf2 24.Ba1 Rd2 preparing to play 25…Rff2, dominating the entire second rank. And now… 25.Bc3 (diagram) So this is the puzzle, try to visualise these moves in your head. I played 25…Bd3 26.Qa8+ Rf8 27.Qxa7?? Find the winning line from here. 1 Like

Is anyone on chess time here (for android)? |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by EddyNumerouno(m): 2:09pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
I just started playing chess (can't believe I once thought it was a game for dull people. Now I don't even see the chess pieces; I see armies and conquests. Is there a chess club in Owerri, or does anyone in owerri fancy helping a prospective GM hone his skills? |

Manuelson: Wow, that was quick. Correct! The game ended with the first line (Harrwitz bishops yet again: on e4 and d6.) In your second variation, 27... Rxg2+ 28.Kh1, more forcing is ...Rh2+ 29. Kg1 Qg5# I'll make the lines longer/deeper with more variations next time |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by EddyNumerouno(m): 3:36pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
olyrayy: A's some players use 4-6 hours for one game (no exaggeration), I couldn't help but draw that conclusion |
