Originally posted by greenpawn34Yes, first thing I saw was Bxc6+ I just couldn't make it work. But if the bishop on g7 wasn't there it would be different like you said.
Yeah, I know, it's still messy.
Did you search a DB - was it part of any section?
Edit:
Forgot to mention - in the posted Heinz variation instead on Ne7
Black has Be4 - it's all clatty. too many branches and if's and buts.
If it's correct it's a bad puzzle.
Think idea is to lure Black away from c6 so Bxc6+ works.
Originally posted by greenpawn34Any source game for the last puzzle's position? I was just looking for it yesterday. (The nicest variation is 1. Qd8+ Qe8 2. Rxh5!!)
Them 12 puzzles I posted will keep you busy and they are good.
Hand picked for their instructive value and I never ask the Bates Motel
to do anything I have not done.
Hi
Makow - Washenin, Nowsibirk, 1976.
All I have is that - no games details and cannot telll you where it
came from. (the source of the puzzle).
Ages I surfed the net lifting all the free 'combination' downloads and
burned them onto a CD in a net cafe. (I was not on the net then)
I took them home and merged the lot into on big DB and then
then deleted all the notes. ( a lot were in a foriegn language).
I then 'sorted' them all into move order (lowest first), and then
worked my way through them.
Of course I never got through them all but every and now and then
I see this DB and knock off a few more.

I am quite fed up with this excuse for a tactics trainer. I have come across many problems that penalize you for playing an equally good move and just recently I bumped into this one.

According to CT-art this is white to move and win. I agonized for hours over this trying to find a win for . If anybody can show me a white win then I will write a letter of apology to GM Blokh himself.
