 Nice tactics...Svetushkin,Dmitry (2570) - Lauber,Arnd (2517) [B19], 1-0, Schachbundesliga Berlin (9.2), 07.02.2010 White's 30th move is 30. Nf6+! (after 29. ... Nd3xb2?) [ Notes of Reeh,Oliver] { 29 .... Nxb2? Black's only mistake in the game! [Instead, the two other knight moves - thus the correct answers are both A) and C) - would have led to a draw. A) 29...Nc5 30.Nf6+ gxf6 31.Qg2+ Kf7 32.Qg7+ Ke8 33.Qg8+ Ke7 and White must give perpetual check, since after 34.Qg7+ Ke8 35.h7 he gets checkmated: 35...Qe4+ 36.Ka1 (36.Kc1 Qxc4+ ) 36...Nb3+! 37.axb3 Ra8+ ; 29...Nf4 30.Qe3 (30.Qf3 Rd4 ) 30...Nd3 , and also here in view of the mate threat b2 the combination 31.Nf6+ gxf6 (risky would be 31...Kh8 32.hxg7+ Kxg7 33.Qd2 ) 32.Qg1+ Kf7 33.Qg7+ Ke8 34.Qg6+ Ke7 35.Qh7+ Ke8 only leads to the sharing of the point.] } 30.Nf6+! Allowing the white queen to enter the g-file with tempo, whereupon the h-pawn decides. 30...gxf6 31.Qg4+ Kf7 32.Qg7+ Ke8 33.h7 and Black resigned, since after 33...Qe4+ 34.Ka1! it's all over. 1-0 |

Let me share a recent victory of mine with you... splott vs tugger Mini tournament game  game b White has recently dropped his rook for my bishop, but he is left with hope as he has an overlap on the queenside that could potentially cause me problems. But it can be dealt with quickly and effectively by a combination of tactical play and sheer brute force... 23... Rxb2! 24. Rxb2 Qxc3 25. Ra2 Qc4! w And white is finished. His queen is committed to the back rank after 23... Rxb2! and cannot claim the brazen black queen. So the queen trade is inevitable, and black is left with a simple endgame in which his rook can dominate from the centre while white's rook is burdened with the task of defending his blocking pawn on the a-file, giving black all the time and space he needs to exert his influence on the king side. White did indeed attempt to fight on, but after 35... Kf5 he realised there was no hope in this endgame and resigned. |

Transformation of advantages... From your second diagram, White plays 26.Rf2 ... And now Black can drum up another double attack: 26...Qb3 Threatens the a-pawn, and also 27...Rd1, pinning the Q. Let White try - 27.Qa6 Rd1+ 28.Rf1 Rxf1+ 29.Qxf1 Qxa3 And this Q ending, two pawns ahead, ought to be fairly straigtforward for Black (certainly easier to win than the rook ending one pawn ahead!). Note that 27.Qe2 leads to exactly the same result, and White has no other alternatives. At no time is Black in danger from a back rank mate, though after, say, 30.h3 Black might have to think about, say 30...g6 or ...h6 this or next move. |

As it happens, play continued... 26. Ra1... So now 26... Qb3 is aimless, the pawn is covered and so is the pin threat. I couldn't see anything else other than the queen trade, and so long as he had both queen and rook, it was complicated. But in the endgame I crafted, I realised just how dominant my rook would be, and figured I could walk through the endgame without a care in the world, which is exactly what I did! 26... Qxf1 27. Rxf1 Rd3 28. Ra1 a4 29. h4 h5 30. Kg1 f5 31. Kf2 Kf7 32. Ra2 Kf6 33. Ke2 e4 34. fxe4 fxe4 35. Kf2 Kf5... 0-1 I think if white plays 26. Rf2 then yes, it's probably best to keep the queens on the board, but after 26. Ra1 I see no other reasonable option for black other than to take the easy endgame he has elegantly designed! |

I like these, after: or ********* 26.Rf2 Qc5 [threatening 27...Qxa3 and also the easy conversion to K+Pup ending of 27....Qxf2 28.Qxf2 Rd1+ 29.Qg1 Rg1+ 30.Kg1 etc.] 27.Ra2 Rd3 again, threatening a3 and also to double on c or d file. *** Of course, as you've both said, the position of Feb 28 diagram is a cake walk. It's just my style to like squirrelly moves tho. }8-D |

Blitz tactical vision Here I played 31...Qd8 without much thought and after White's reply 32. Qxe5 I thought I was in trouble. My intended Qxh4 seems to drop the Knight on c5. But after further reflection, that means about 20 seconds of pondering in blitz terms, I played 32...Qxh4 anyway. White replied with 33. Qxc5 and the following position was reached Can Black win here? Or did I just blunder a piece? |

Is there someting tactical? 21. Nf5 h5 - defending Knight (a natural action in the blitz) 22. Ne2 Qf6?! - is there something better? 23. Neg3!! h4 24. Nh5 1-0 Your opinion about that final part... |
||
|
I'm wondering about ... For instance, 21...Nh6 22.Rxg5+ Kh8 23.Rg7 Ng8 24.Qf4 etc. Maybe 21...Ne5 22.Rxg5+ Ng6 23.Rf5 with a strong attack. The move played ought also to be good enough: 21.Nf5!? h5 (Note that 21.Nh5 deprives Black of this defence) 22.Ne2 Qf6? This seems to be a mistake, although White has a powerful attack anyway. Now its winning. 23.Neg3 ,,, This would just about have been played against any previous move by Black. But now Black is completely lost. |

Will you find it? . Siebrecht,S - Lubbe,N, 81st German Championship Bad Liebenzell (5), 09.03.2010 Black move... |

Simple... 1...Rb4!! White can just about resign already. 2.cxb4 a2 and queens; 2.Rxb4 axb4 and queens; 2.f5+ gxf5 3.gxf5+ Ke7 4.f6+ Ke6 and White runs out of time. |

From old box... 36th move of Black... |
||

Black is threatened with mate... 36...Rxg2+ 37.Kxg2 e3+ 38.Kg1 Qg6+ 39.Kf1 ... And now 39...Rf7+ will probably do, though 39...e2+ is very tempting. 39...Rf7+; 40.Ke1 Rxf8; 41.Rxf8 Bf3 should be good enough; .............40.Qxf7 Qxf7+ ; 41.Ke2 Qf3+; 42.Kd3 e2+ and wins. I haven't been able to find anything immediately decisive after 39...e2+: 40.Ke1 exd1+; 41.Kxd1 and although Black looks to have a distinct edge, I can't find anything better (so far) than 41...Rd7+ |

Carlsen-Anand; Kristiansund (final, 1st game), 2010 41. Bxh5! Now 41… gxh5 is answered by 42. Qh7+ and in most lines White will win back a full rook: a) 42… Kf8 43. Qh6+ Kg8 44. Qg5+; b) 42… Ke8 43. Qxh5+; c) 42… Kf6 43. Rg5! Rxg5 44. hxg5+ Kxg5 45. Qg7+ Kf5 46. Qf7+ Kg5 47. Rc5+ +-. In the game Anand tried 41… Rxe5 42. dxe5 Qd5+ 43. Bf3 Qxe5 which turned out to be pretty hopeless too. |
