Aug-29-05  chess man: On 18...Kxh7?? Re3 with the treat of Rh3++(which there's no way to stop except through giving up the Queen). Black is trapped. A good example of using the Bishop to rip open Black's extremely weak kingside. Good game.

PS. Firstly, good post by <chess man>! Secondly, two notes from Stockfish on this game:

A) Black's first major mistake was going in for 15...Rfd8? < >. 15...Qc6! was essentially his only move, <+0.04/25>.

B) 17...Kf8 and 17...Kh8 are essentially of the same value to Black, and are both met by 18. Bxh7 < >.
