(And I think I'm going to have to call BS on this pic. If these were actual kittehs, one of them would be busy licking itself, and another would be rolling all over the board. Or two of them would be play-fighting. Which, come to think of it is kind of what the artist is showing them doing already)
Black has made a real muck of the opening. How does White take advantage? Hint: White mates in 2 ![]() rnbqkbn1/ppppp3/7r/6pp/3P1p2/3BP1B1/PPP2PPP/RN1QK1NR w KQ - 0 1 Problem 2 - White To Play (337) Hint: White mates in 3 ![]() 7r/1k1n2p1/1p5p/p2p1p2/1q3P2/1Q1P2P1/5PBP/2R3K1 w - - 0 1

After 7 straight draws, challenger Sergey Karjakin took the lead over Magnus Carlsen. This was 5 days ago. After almost losing Game 9, Carlsen bounced back in Game 10 to win in 75 moves. The match is still tied.

And we're all grateful for that. But he was a chessplayer, and supposedly a pretty good one. On short notice, I was only able to find one of his games and it seems kind of amateurish - for both players. Fidel won on a horrible blunder and when I saw it, I thought, how could his opponent make such a stupid move, but you have to wonder what would've happened to the guy if he had actually beaten el Maximo.

1.Qxh5+! Rxh5 The only reason for the queen sacrifice is to kick the rook off the 6th rank so White can move his bishop there. I've mentioned this tactic before. It's called "displacing the defender" and you should have it in your toolbox. Problem 2 - White To Play ![]() 7r/1k1n2p1/1p5p/p2p1p2/1q3P2/1Q1P2P1/5PBP/2R3K1 w - - 0 1
If either 1...Kb8 or 1...Ka7, then 2.Qb7# 2.Qb7+ Kb5

28.g4! Qxg4+ Black has nothing better. If 28...Qg5 then 29.Qxf7+ Kh6 30.Rf6+ Qxf6 31.Qxf6# 29.Rg2 Qxg2+ White has won the exchange, has a passed a-paw, and should win.

That's the killer move. There are 3 ways White can respond. The first is to take the bishop with the rook. But as Chico Marx would say, "At-sa no good": 2.Rxe4 Qf1+ Moving the rook leaves the crucial f1 square inadequately defended. Which is what also happens if you take with the queen: 2.Qxe4 Qf1+ White's best defense is to abandon the queen and hunker down 2.Rg1 Bxd3 At this point, 4.gxf3 will not avail, because of 4...Be2! There is no defense against Bxf3+ 5.Be1 Bxf3+ So 4.gxf3 is no good. But the only other move only delays the inevitable by one more move: 4.Kh2 Qg3+ White should hang it up at this point. There's no defense against Black's next move. 6.Be1 Qxh3+ Hope to see you all next week. ___________ Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and past it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.
