Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 11-02-2019
Thanks to the lurker who sent me a link to Ms. Saduakassova, who was completely unknown to me, despite all my searching for new faces. Chess hotties. There's just no end to 'em. Moviegique will be along later with the movie thread. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.
Goal: White can force mate in 3 moves 2k5/1p6/p1p1b1Q1/P1P2pP1/1Pqpp2B/4P3/1K6/8 w - - 0 1
Normally, K+R vs. K+B endgames are a draw, except in exceptional positiona -- like this one. Show how White can win. Goal: White can force Black to give up his bishop 8/6R1/8/3k4/8/5b2/3K4/8 w - - 0 1
How does Black get a winning advantage? 4r1k1/ppp2ppp/5q2/8/2P1r3/1P1QPpPb/P4P1P/R3R1KB b - - 0 1
(h/t Alice Teller) Greetings from Germany ___________ Solutions Update Beginner Problem - White To Play 2k5/1p6/p1p1b1Q1/P1P2pP1/1Pqpp2B/4P3/1K6/8 w - - 0 1 Black's king is really hemmed in back there: 1.Qe8+ Kc7
8/6R1/8/3k4/8/5b2/3K4/8 w - - 0 1 1.Ke3! And now Black's bishop is toast. It's kind of jammed up in there because the king is blocking its path on the long diagonal. 1...Bh1 The bishop can run, but can't hide: A:1...Bh5 2.Rg5+ Kd6 3.Rxh5 B:1...Be4 2.Rg5+ Kd6 3.Kxe4 C:1...Be2 2.Kxe2 D:1...Bg4 2.Rxg4 E:1...Bd1 2.Rd7+ Ke5 3.Rxd1 So we're left with: 2.Rg1 Be4
4r1k1/ppp2ppp/5q2/8/2P1r3/1P1QPpPb/P4P1P/R3R1KB b - - 0 1 The key move is: 1...Rxe3! The best reply is 2.Qxe3 (If 2.Qd2 Re2 then 3.Rab1 Qb2 4.Qxe2 Rxe2 5.Bxf3 Rxe1+ 6.Rxe1 Kf8 7.Bg2 Bxg2 8.Kxg2 Qxa2 9.Re3 a5 10.h3 a4 11.bxa4 Qxa4 12.c5 Qc6+ 13.Rf3 Qxc5 and Black's queen will gobble up the pawns) 2...Rxe3 (Not 3.fxe3? f2#) 3.Rxe3 3...Qxa1+ and mate shortly. Best moves here are 3.Rad1 or 3.Red1 3.Rad1 Rxe1+ or 3.Red1 h5 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 paste it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.
