  Chessical: 14...Bd6 instead and it's equal. A very unfortunate slip in his concentration by Mr Gamboa.

  kevin86: Boden's mate with a twist and an echo. If15...Rc7 16Qe8# or15... bxc6 16Qe8#

The Boden's mate is usually done with two bishops and a queen sac at c6!

Dec-15-03   Marnoff Mirlony: Well, you've got your Queen sac at c6, but only one Bishop.
Dec-15-03   boobsmacfadin: Bodens mate...? i am not familiar with it. can u refer any games i can find it in?

I believe white's best variation
would be

14... Bd6 15. Ne5 Bxe5 16. Qxc6+ bxc6 17. Bxe5 Qxe5 18. dxe5

where the endgame is almost equal, most probably a drawn rook ending. Although, the c6 queen sac appears once again :p

Dec-15-03   hart: On the home page, I read, "You are encouraged to participate and learn from players stronger than yourself, while guiding those who are weaker," but on this page I read, "If you dont see it you are a real shah," and, "another loser on this site." These latter comments are surely not the kind of guidance that is being encouraged, n'est-ce pas?

  technical draw: The only Shah I ever heard of was the Shah of Iran. A weak player used to be called a woodpusher. Has this changed?

  Benzol: <td> No it hasn't changed but 'plastic pusher' might be more appropriate these days.

<hart> Most users on this site are helpful. However, there are some who need a bit of a wakeup call. If you encounter any of the latter just ignore them, or use your ignore list procedure. Ask <chessgames.com> as to how to work it.

Dec-15-03   Benjamin Lau: Benzol, I think in our age "mouse pusher" is going to be a more accurate term. :)

  Benzol: Your right Ben. I can claim to be a 2500 rated player with a mouse rated at 900. LOL.

  Mating Net: Opera House! Definitely my favorite mating pattern.

If Black refuses the Queen, she simply retreats next move and White is up a piece.

if 15... bxc6, then Rb8#.

anyway, if 15... Kd8
16. QxR KxQ
17. N-fork and white is ahead.
