RE: Chess problem 54 / Schachaufgabe 54

in #chess7 years ago (edited)

I'm noticing the black king doesn't have too many squares. If white can bring another piece into the attack that'll decide the game. There's the crazy idea of sacing the knight and moving white king up but is that too slow?

Black could try to untangle himself with moves like bxa, Qxb6 and also e5, Re6 so white needs to address that first IMO.

I think best way to stop black's potential counterplay is to fix the pawn structures. Perhaps something like this:

a7, Qa8 or Qc8
e5, c4; black is kind of in a zugzwang
Ng4, hxg
Kxg4, ... 

White's going to play Kg5, Kh6 next and I don't think there's much black can do to stop that.

Sort:  
  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. ?

Why would black play a stupid move like g5?

Rook in g1.

2 . ... g5 is actually the toughest move.

  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+

Rg4 g4
Ng4

Please, whole move order:

  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+
  4. Nxg4 Bg6
  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+
  4. Nxg4 Bg6
  5. Nh6+ Kh7
  6. Nxf7 Rxf7
  7. Rxg6+ Kh7
  8. Rh6+ Kg8
  9. Qh8+ mate
  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+
  4. Nxg4 Bg6
  5. Nh6+ Kh7
  6. Nxf7 Bf5+
  7. Kh2 Rxf7 and black wins.
  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+
  4. Rg4 g4
  5. Ng4

Black king can't move and is one move away from mate Nh6+

g5 is dumb and didn't even consider it....

  1. a7 Qc8
  2. e5 g5
  3. Rg1 g4+
  4. Rxg4 hxg4+
  5. Nxg4 Bf5

Now the knight is pinned and cannot move.

It's late, I'm tired. I'll figure it out tommorrow.

  1. Qxg5+, Bg6
  2. Ne4, Kg7
  3. Nf6, c4
  4. Rg1

With threats to follow like Qxh5 or sneaking in with Qh6.

After Nf6 black can play Rh8 ... Check the complete solution above ...

Well done! :)
