This puzzle is taken from my first game here, against a chess.com greeter. Please note that you can see the game with annotations and analisys with move list.

kinda easy :/

AdrianMPaunescu

it didn't take long to find it for me either, perhaps I should have said "elegant finish"

henryoliver

no dude, you found it hard/tricky. dont try and act like something youre not lol

AdrianMPaunescu

I'm a club player, done good in tournaments...

I used that title even though it was slightly misleding partly because it creates more interest than "find mate in 6".

Next time I see you online I'll invite you to a blitz game and I'll post it here to prove my point, a real 2000 ELO rating doen't scare me, surely one obtained on Internet won't either.

henryoliver

and a 2400 blitz from my prime? lol anyways back to the point, you called the puzzle a tricky one meaning it was very tricky for you otherwise you would've called it something else lol

AdrianMPaunescu

you didn't have a 2400 blitz, you had 1761 (lol) blitz. You had 2400 bullet (you know bullet, one person sneezes, or tries to kill a fly, the other wins on time.)

Weird how you keep talking about a mistake I made in describing the degree of dificulty of the puzzle (mistake wich I acknowledged as such) when you have no clue about how the different time-controls in chess are named.

You are a "wood-pusher", not a chess player. A fast one, but a "wood-pusher" nonetheless.

henryoliver

yes so a lot of people must have been sneezing or trying to kill some flies. i have 2400 blitz on other sites. i dont play blitz on this one. you say tricky is the difficulty level of this puzzle? for you yes and thats what i intended. i could be a wood pusher but then again, ive qualified and played at the u18 world champs not too long ago so i guess wood pushers can play too??

AdrianMPaunescu

I can't belive you still imply that a 6-10 move calculation is hard for me. You are extremely rude, you are basically saying that I am stupid.

I explained to you the situation with that word in the title clearly from the begining, it's beyond my power of comprehension why you don't understand. Actually, why you insist with this has a few explanations, all unfavorable to you (intentional rudeness, slow wit, problems with english, an odd combinations of these etc.).

a snappy finish!

And quit yer grousing and sniping, you two (I could hear the cats yowling from clear across the farmyard).

Yeah cool Puzzel Cool

@JakimPL: 10x

@AndyClifton: Your insults are uncalled for. I was merely responding to a person's erroneous beliefs concerning my ability to calculate, the fact that I got a little irritated comes from his surprising persistance.

davidan

can som1 plz tell me why cant black 19-kxf6 ?

AdrianMPaunescu

yes, Rf7 is mate. I added that variation and the others in the game annotations (press move list and you'll see them)

AndyClifton

Suit yourself, Adrian.  But you got more than a bit insulting yourself throughout that catfight.  After all, calling the guy a woodpusher and implying that he was rude or stupid (after accusing him of calling you that!) seems somewhat less than diplomatic.  Perhaps the physician should heal thyself...?

would 18 Bf6 work? i cant see a way for black to defend

AndyClifton

18... Qxc3+

AdrianMPaunescu

"woodpusher" was indeed less than diplomatic and it turned out to be untrue (I got that from viewing his basic stats). I didn't call him stupid, I said that that's one of the possibilities for not understanding my message (probably untrue as well). Those two are the losing temper part.

He was rude, I maintain this statement. I don't meet rudeness with diplomatic answers, except at first. For you I'll make this exception for the second comment too, since I believe your point is valid (maybe I shouldn't respond to insults at all, since it's a dead-end conversation anyway), although the way you said it it's... insulting.
