Dear Jozarov, I have another absolutely brilliant chess puzzle for you that will make Stockfish cry!And not only Stockfish, but almost every other chess engine I know ( and I know a lot of them because I am testing them since years and years).The puzzle is from HAROLD LOMMER, from 1965.This is the position in fen:4r3/p1p1pPp1/P1P1P1P1/5K2/3p2P1/7p/3P1ppr/3R1nkq w – – 0 1The main theme of the puzzle is UNDER PROMOTION, and AVOIDING STALEMATE.The main line that I worked out is like this:1.fxe8N!! d3 2.Nf6!! gxf6 3.g5!! fxg5 4.g7 g4 5.g8N!! g3 6.Nf6!! exf6 7.Kg6!! Clearing the way for the black pawn and thus avoiding stalemate! f5 8.e7 f4 9.e8N!! f3 10.Nd6!! cxd6 11.c7 d5 12.c8N!! d4 13.Nb6!! axb6 14.a7 b5 15.a8N!! b4 16.Nc7 b3 17.Ne6 b2 18.Ng5 b1Q 19.Nxf3 #Absolutely brilliant and in my opinion one of the most beautiful chess puzzles with the theme of under promotion.In all the years I tested engines there was only one engine, that was able to solve this.And to mention, if 2.- exf6 (instead of 2.- gxf6), the main line goes 3.Kf4!! f5 4.e7 fxg4 5.e8N!! g3 6.Nd6!! cxd6 7.c7 d5 8.c8N!! d4 9.Nb6!! axb6 10.Kf3!! b5 11.a7 b4 12.a8Q b3 13.Qb8 b2 14.Dxg3 b1Q 15.Dxf2#I promise, Stockfish will cry when presented with this monster of puzzle!With my best regards,Your fan Torsten!

A41 Wade Defense / The Graveyard Variation
Disgusting and funny taktic
Josip in regards to your intro with your statement like "this the most spectacular; this is the most brutal; this is the most well words escape me"… each time you say that I believe you !!! That's what makes theses games so incredible, they always surprise, they always bring something new. So, I don't have a problem with that! I think you are right and I agree with you.
First pause: My guess, Bishop takes Pawn on E6, Pawn takes Bishop, Knight takes Pawn forking the Queen and the Rook.
Second pause: Knight to H7 which sort of traps the King.
I did enjoy the game.
good coaching.
Actually boring to watch computers.
You have good content but I suggest using a second board for analysis because it gets confusing trying to figure out what the actual game moves were and what’s the analysis.
Thanks Jozarov.
10:30 – I would call that a clever sacrifice rather than a disgusting tactic.
You always say these things, because they are always true. You were not wrong this time either, yet again spectacular and dazzling tactics leads to an endgame advantage. Thanks Josip.
Beautiful game! 🙂 Wonder if Leela also won when this game was reversed?
Good game.
Honestly you should speak slower and clearer .
"A beautiful blockade on light squares!" LMAO
Interesting games, good comment, I like it.
If the sound were a little louder…

You've taken 20 minutes to do a 10 minute job. When will you chess reviewers learn?
Josip is one of the few chess enthusiasts who deliver us with the latest news from the world of computer chess AND at the same time has enough chess knowledge to evaluate the content and the brilliancy of those games.
But what I like most is his attitude: He has real respect for these engines and for the creative work of the chess developers, who create these engines.
I hope you will continue your work (and it's work!) for as long as possible.
With regards, Torsten from Germany
