Perpetual Check. A Collection of RHP Beauties.

Inspired by another thread.

Blog 4

One of the perpetuals is not clear what heppened.
(because it was not a perpetual) 🙂

tbogodes - ntss 100
I searched for draws containg 3 consecutive checks by either side.

This positon appeared Black to play.



So I played 1...Rh2+ 2.KxR QxR+ 3.Kh3 Qxf3+ and then started thinking
this is a not a perpetual. Black has no Qf5+.
So I looked at was played. Black played 3..Qg3+ and it's a stalemate. Der....

By then I had seen nothing but perpetuals for hundreds of games.

I added my 3...Qxf3+ moves but it's not clear what happened
so I am clearing it up.

There are still 1,000 in there that I've never seen, another day, another blog.

Here is the full tbogodes - ntss 100 game.

Smashing stuff with some real tricky play going on.


White to play. Does QxN work? (if QxQ Nf6+).

A draw was the fair result.

My guess is that Black saw the stalemate idea when he played 29...b5
and was rewarded 9 moves later.
