Remember my previous book review on "Invisible Chess Moves", written while I was watching the games in Wijk, during Tata Steel 2012? I am literally warming up my brain (freezing cold in Romania) by checking the beautiful examples hidden inside.
The book received recently the Book of the Year award, on Chesscafe.com and I can see why. The two diagrams presented underneath gave me such a pleasure that I couldn't keep it just for myself and decided to challenge you:)
I hope you didn't see them before and if you did, I am sure their beauty will steal at least a smile from you! And keep in mind: the moves are surprising. That's all I'm going to say.
I can guarantee that you will have an enormous pleasure if you will find the solutions yourself. That's why I won't even publish the answers, not yet at least:)
Nb4 for the first diagram
ReplyDeleteI am happy you tried! What if Black replies: 1...Bxb4? It will support the queen's retreat and refugee to the vital d2 square. That means: you still have to look.
ReplyDeleteIf you think you spent too much time on it and you want to know the solution, let me know. Or use an engine, but only if you thought way too long and you still cannot find it! Don't worry, it took me quite long as well.
One minute after I posted I saw Bxb4; how about f3 to make room for the Bishop from c7?
ReplyDeleteYes! That's the idea! But the move order is not precise. With 1.f3 you give Black the option of sacrificing an exchange for initiative, with 1...Rxe3; and if WHite takes back 2.Nxe3 Qxe3+ 3.Kh1 Bg7, the d4 pawn is hanging, so Black is better. If you decline the exchange offer, Black still has the idea of giving it on the bishop from e2, eliberating thus the c4 square for its queen.
ReplyDeleteThe conclusion is: you should start with Bg3, when Black doesn't have the time to save the queen! I simply loved this example and I hope you too.
It was surprising, I agree!
ReplyDeleteFor the second diagram I looked at the actual game - is there a better move than Ng7?
Thanks!
PS - I don't understand what is the benefit of playing an opponent rated 500 ELO points less than you; couldn't the arbiter use another system (I heard of "accelerated Swiss" before); I am usually the one with 500 points less :) so for me it is like a wasted day; for the better player it may affect her chances to make norms.
Good luck during the tournament!
For the second diagram Ng7 is the best, but not easy to see it I think. I like the backward knight move a lot!
ReplyDeleteAs for the pairing system, it depends on how many players there are etc. Here, with only 27 women participating, it's rather difficult to have the accelerated version. In any case, there are always surprises, lower rated players have nothing to lose, so why not trying their best?!
