Saturday Afternoon Chess/Open Thread (Featuring Dress Pr0n) 07-22-2017
Hint: Black mates in 2 6k1/8/8/3bQ3/4n3/8/7P/5R1K b - - 0 1 Problem 2 - White To Play (522) This is a position from an actual game. Black has just played 19...Qxe5, capturing the 'e' pawn. Why is this a bad move? Hint: White wins material r3r1k1/p1pb2pp/1bp5/2Npq3/8/2Q1B3/PPP3PP/4RRK1 w - - 0 20
What about your chess GAINZZZ, brah?
Hint: Black either is mated in 5, or loses material 3r2k1/5p1p/2p3p1/p7/1pP5/1P2nQPP/P2q2B1/5R1K w - - 0 1
Hint: White mates in 4 r1b2qrk/pp3p1p/4pPpQ/8/8/5N2/P4PPP/3R2KR w - - 0 1
White to play. A beautiful illustration of the power of the knight. Hint: Black's bishop is toast 2k5/3N4/8/8/8/7B/8/3b1K2 w - - 0 1
Tagline: "The OregonMuse, he knows what women like." This week, I'm featuring dress pr0n from around the world. First up, here are some examples of what Kurdish women in Syria wear when the murdering ISIS thugs are no longer around to smother them all in Hefty bags:
Solutions Update Problem 1 - Black To Play 6k1/8/8/3bQ3/4n3/8/7P/5R1K b - - 0 1 Forced: 1...Nf2+
r3r1k1/p1pb2pp/1bp5/2Npq3/8/2Q1B3/PPP3PP/4RRK1 w - - 0 20 20. Rf8+! Black loses either way he captures: 20...Kxf8 21.Nxd7+ or 20...Rxf8 21. Qxe5.
3r2k1/5p1p/2p3p1/p7/1pP5/1P2nQPP/P2q2B1/5R1K w - - 0 1 1. Qxf7+ Kh8 What? Why give up the queen? Because, actually, it's the best move available. All other moves lead to mate: 3...cxd5 4.Qxd8+ Kg7 5.Qf8# or After White takes the black queen, he obviously has a won game, but there's an interesting position that comes up later on that I think is fun to look at: 4.cxd5 Nxf1 White was threatening Qf4+, simultaneously attacking the knight. But there's really no safe square for it to go to: 8...Nd2 9.Qf4+ 9. Qxg3 Ke6 It was amazing to see Black lose all of his pieces in just a few moves.
r1b2qrk/pp3p1p/4pPpQ/8/8/5N2/P4PPP/3R2KR w - - 0 1 1. Ng5! Threatens Qxh7# 1...Rg7 Not 1...Qxh6 2.Nxf7# 2. Rd8 e5 (if 2...Bd7 then 3. Qxg7#) Also possible is 2.fxg7+ which we will deal with presently. 3.Rxf8+ Rg8 Another way to mate in 4 is: 2.fxg7+ Qxg7
2k5/3N4/8/8/8/7B/8/3b1K2 w - - 0 1 Answer: White's strategy is to attack the bishop again and again until it has no safe square to move to. 1.Ke1! Bc2 This is the only safe square. All others allow White to grab the bishop with discovered check: 1...Bf3 2.Ne5+ or 2. Kd2 Bb1 Black still has the same problem. Here are just two examples: 2...Bh7 3.Nf6+ or 3.Kc1 Ba2 Black finally runs out of squares to move his bishop. 5.Ne5+ And now, White has to complete the fiendish K+B+N vs. K mate. Difficult, but doable. It's amazing how that knight just dominated the entire board. 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. Chess thread tips, suggestions, bribes, rumors, threats, and insults may be sent to my yahoo address: OregonMuse little-a-in-a-circle yahoo dott com.
