us9898

Dr-reza
nice one
Dust_N_Bones
Very Hard Puzzle.. I had to use help every step of the way, but seeing the principle behind it, I like it.. Hopefully with more experience I'll be able to spot these things for myself
RajatS
most diffiicult puzzle I've ever seen
Sugi
wow
very good
Angelopoulos
Very easy... but only because it's a very famous game and I've seen it before, otherwise I wouldn't have got any of the moves.
Skeleize
quite difficul, but okay
ginsta
Difficult puzzle, even after you realise that the idea is to deflect the black Queen off the a4-e8 diagonal (and hence weaken the defence of the rook on e8). But I did not understand why 4.a4 instead of 4.Re4 straightaway?
Seyllia
The white had a great idea!
NimzoRoy
This is one of the better puzzles I've seen here!
DIVERSION: Fathom the concept!
dunce
wow i need to go reset my brain now. I could understand the whole concept of baiting the Queen off the diagonal, but just couldn't find that last move.

Have you seen someone go through so much effort to sacrifice their queen. Nice
marwanredman123
This's a very strong example to illustrate ( deflection tactic)
mohandisusa

Hani_caspian
difficult
fearless2play
