Feb-19-04		vishya: very nice and logical attack by vishy

Feb-19-04		vishya: where is the win though?!

Feb-19-04		catfriend: Where isn't it? What would you do against the coming e6?

Mar-31-04		OktHorse: Yes vishya, as cat so cooly put it ... e6.

May-21-05		schnarre: Crunch!

Nov-22-05		dramas79: <Where isn't it? What would you do against the coming e6?> Cant black play 27...Qe7? I cannot see an immediate win.

Nov-22-05		Mostolesdude: 27...Qe7 28. Qc6 29... Qd8 30 e6. 31 fxe6... 32. Qxe6+ and black is pretty much done. 27...Qe7 28.Qc6 29...Qd8 30 e6. 31...f6 32 Kf7 and the black pawn at d5 will fall soon

Jan-13-06		schnarre: Black is finished (again)!

Aug-17-07		Mateo: <Mostolesdude> <27...Qe7 28.Qc6 29...Qd8 30 e6. 31...f6 32 Kf7 and the black pawn at d5 will fall soon>. I guess you meant 32.Nf7. That wins but 32.Qd7! winning too seems even stronger.

Dec-20-08		whiteshark: Yes, ...Qe7 should have been played a bit earlier on move 16, e.g. (16...Qe7) <17.Rhc1 0-0 18.Kf1 Rfe8 19.Kg1 Nf8 > click for larger view

Dec-11-12		PawnSac: Mateo: <That wins but 32.Qd7! winning too seems even stronger.> It wins outright! If black trades queens he can't stop the passer. If ..Qe7? QxN and if ..Qf8 (the only square left to guard the knight) then Qh7 mate
