Nov-11-05		lopium: I don't really understand 18.Nxc6, but here I guess that if black take the N with the Bishop or Rook his game will be lost. If he didn't take, as in this game, he is lost. So it's maybe the winner move.... Sunday puzzle.

Nov-11-05		aw1988: I too am finding a difficult time searching for justification of Nxc6.

Nov-11-05		BadTemper: Nxc6 Bxc6 QxR PxQ RxQ RxR RxB and white has won a pawn

Nov-11-05		LostIchi: 18.Nxc6 Rxc6 19.Rxc6 Bxc6 20.Qxe4 ... or 18.Nxc6 Bxc6 19.Rxc6 Rxc6 20.Qxe4 dxe4 21.Rxd8 and the bishop on f8 is lost as Ba3 is coming.

Nov-11-05		BadTemper: Nxc6 Rxc6?? RxR BxR QxR PxQ RxQ and now white has the pawn and the exchange.
