Apr-17-02  bishop: 15.e6! unexpected and strong.

  Cyphelium: <themindset> I think it actually is strong: 15.- bxa3 16. exd7+ Bxd7 17. Qe3+ and now

17.- Kd8 18. Bxc6 Qxc6 19. Ne5 Qe6 20. Qxa7 looks pretty hopeless.

17.- Kf8 18. Bxc6 Bxc6 (18.- Qxc6 19. Ne5) 19. Ne5 Qe6 20. Qc5+ Kf8 21. Nxc6 wins.

17.- Ne7 18. Ne5 and white will take something on d7 or f7, for example 18.- Qf6 19. Bxf7+ Kd8 20. Nxd7 .

Nov-07-06  themindset: 16.exf7+ is strong for black.

16.exf7+ Kd8 17.Qa4 Bb7 18.Be4 Qe6 19.Bxc6 Bxc6 20.Qxa5 Bxf3 21.gxf3 Rb7 22.Qxa3 Qxf7

Nov-07-06  themindset: And 16.exd7+ is terrible for white, after your line 17...Kf8 18.Bxc6 Bxc6 18.Ne5 it is mate in one for black.

  Cyphelium: <themindset> That's the nonsense you sometimes get when analysing without a board. Sorry.
Jan-06-09  YoungEd: It's interesting here that Black plays 11. ...Rb8 with the idea of the subsequent push of the b-P, when White can just ignore it! Poor Mortimer.
