RE: Solution of chess problem 79 / Lösung von Schachaufgabe 79

Wow, amazing puzzle due to its variations. The only thing is the original position is a kind of simple win for black by using a number of moves like 1 ...Nxc6, for instance. If the winning move was unique, then it would be a masterpiece! But it's valid puzzle to exercise the calculation after all and the variations and ideas present are really nice.

I can support you only with my comments because I don't have so much voting power. I'm missing the community support in my posts though, even when, according to the community guidelines, this is a place to "post own games", but the support seems to be less every day. So it's a bit discouraging :(

For several reasons I completely agree that it's not a masterpiece.
But at least some variants are enjoyable to follow, I think ...

I hear you!

I will try to let you take part in my perspective of the matter:

Currently, my time is very limited (did you notice how rarely I post myself?), and quite some members of the chess community post every single day. For me that means I am simply not able to check all these many chess problems (taken from the internet) and games. As I upvote only manually, not in an automated way, I cannot really curate what I didn't read before.

That's why I grant 5 % upvotes to the 'every day posters': I don't read their posts, so I cannot judge their quality, but at least support them a little bit.
If someone posts less, then the probability is higher that I say to myself: "Lets check that!" (as it's not an every day job, so I am ready to make the effort). And then it may happen that I decide to grant a bigger upvote.

That's my honest answer. I don't say your posts were low quality, but my probem is: I just don't have enough time to read them all ...

Huh, I now understand your reasons. I haven't being posting every day lately, btw. It's okay, I will appreciate your support!

At least using peakd.com it is like this: when you post in a community, the post is not automatically added to your blog, you need to resteem your posts into your own blog, otherwise your followers don´t even see them (only when they go to your profile and click "all posts"). This might explain a kind of lack of visibility.
Regarding the games: honestly I don´t even analyze my games although I would learn a lot from my mistakes. I don´t have the time for it. So likewise, I can´t spend time on analyzing others games, unfortunately.

I'll see about that peakd.com thing, thanks. Most people don't analyze their own games, but they sometimes do watch other people's games and enjoy them.

Right, just that gif-style is too fast for me. If there would be a way to pause it...
