| youngplayer11: I saw up to move 16 but i was looking at possibilaties of Nf3 forking the Queen and king so i missed it |

| Hoozits: Although I haven't taken much time to think about it, 14...Qf3 looks interesting as well. Any comments? |
|

| catfriend: Yes
14..Qf3 wins, but less effectively.
15.B:h7+ K:Bh7 16.Qg5 Kg8 17.Qg3 Q:Qg3 18.h:Qg3 Bf5 19.Ne3 and black doesn't win immediately, though of course he can hope for an easy point |

| kevin86: Amos Burn has been known for his defensive chess-yet every game I've seen hasn't been so. Did he ONLY play that way when he got that infernal pipe lit? |

| TheAussiePatzer: 13... Qf3 is better (14. gxf3? Nxf3+ 15. Kf1 Bh3#), and fritz gives: 14. Ne3 Qxf2+ (-1.8) |

| JungleBoy: what about 15 kg1? i know the queen is dead but i was under the impression that in all these problems it was a forced mate that followed. what is it? |

| chessgames.com: <i was under the impression that in all these problems it was a forced mate that followed.> Not at all. Sometimes it just wins a decisive material advantage. |

| Andy White: they don't all lead to forced mates, but they almost always produce situations which are virtually certain wins (e.g. loss of queen, sometimes even loss of a rook). I do prefer the forced mates though |

| talchess2003: exf6? white had many other stronger plans here... Even though it does open the bishop's diagonal, whit doesn't need the bishop to mate black in this opening... |

| kevin86: The strict definition of a "chess problem" is a definite "White to play and mate in (x number of moves)(usually two). What we have here are "studies"
Note:we have moderated a lot of our words and phrases-eg. tornado warning;used to mean a tornado has be spotted in person,not it means that it is spotted by doplar radar. |

| patzer2: Black's 14....Bxg2+! is the solution to number 4909 in Laszlo Polgar's 1994 Book "Chess." Note that 13...Bh3! sets up this move. |
|

| Bobak Zahmat: Move 13. ... Bh3!! is an exellent move. I don't think white can defend this by any shot. |

| azaris: I guess this would be a good time to play a move in our game, then? Nah, there's no hurry. |

sac: 14...Bxg2+
