weird puzzle...
Isn't right
I dont see how black wins when white play Rc3 (idea: Rf3, e4) instead of Rc2. Better to play more seriously.
In the version of the puzzle 4.Rc3 will make the position more open as i show next, and with 4.Rc2 the possition will remain static with black threat on white. So probably better for white to play 4.Rc3, althought black will still win at the end as i'll explain here:
this puzzle is not good to me..its kinda elementary, he should use the queen to take the knight.
sure... QxNf2... it's simple....
I have a lot of questions on this one. First of all, R c3 significantly prolongs white's loss, leaving a knight against a rook and 3 pawns. But even more optimistically, what about 3. ... Qf3 Kg1 4. Re3 Qf1 5. Qg3 Qg2 ?? I see no attack following this. (I see someone has already pointed this out.) Also, in the puzzle itself, what happens if white play Rh2 after the last black's move?
3...Qf3 will be followed by 4.Qf1, so it's not a good idia. Your moves seem weird. Please correct them or make a diagram. In the version of the puzzle it is better to move 5.Rg2 and not 5.Rh2, because:
ramstine & Rept1le look at comment 40
good
Nope, after your 7. Rxh3 you're right, but after 7. Qxe3 white will win
Re: 1...Nxf2 2.Qxf2 Rf6 3.Qe1 Qf3+ 4.Kg1 Rxe3 5.Qf1 Qxg3+ 6.Qg2
I think 6...Qh4 (threatening Rg3) wins.
Wow!! I was actually able to get this one without a clue... maybe I am getting a clue?
complete rubbish. an absolute waste of my time. queen takes knight then moves to saftey. please someone explain why this doesn`t work
No, it would be the same: if 7. Qxe3, 7...Rxe3, 8. Rxh3, Rxh3+.
Comment 55 was only answer to a question. Better look on comment 52 and try to answer why not 4.Rc3 ?
Every puzzle has comments saying "this puzzle is rubbish, move x.YYY refutes this."
As I'm rather sure they computer check all the puzzles (like they do with the tactics trainer stuff), this is NEVER the case, all it says is that you're missing something.
smifffy- look at comment 40.
vitali_10 i don't have to look at any commets, my rate is much higher than your or author of 40th comment. i'm too lazy to post simple variant - QxNf2 and white wins.
To add a diagram to my earlier comment:
All this apears in comment 36 and in comment 40 there is explanation why it's wrong.
so what if the queen captured the knight instead????
