 | | Honza Cervenka: Quite pretty "mate" to white Queen.:-)
Of course, white can play 15.Ned5, but after 15...Nxc4 16.Nxb6 axb6 he is a piece down. |

| Oct-19-05 | | Granite: amazing how so many pieces defend squares as well!! The rook on h8 is the only black piece not guarding a key square - even the king is helping! |
|
| Oct-20-05 | | alexandrovm: maybe white can try something desperate like Nd5, attacking the black queen. But it looks desperate, I think it is still losing for white at this point. |

| Jun-16-06 | | savuflorin1983: <Honza Cervenka> White can choose to put his c-knight on d5 but the variant will only be a bit longer 15.Ncd5 Nxd5 16.Nxd5 Nxc4 17.Nxb6 axb6  |

 | | notyetagm: Kasparov had awesome tactical alertness. I was given the puzzle with Black to play before 14 ...  a5! and failed to solve it in a reasonable time.The thought of trapping the White c4-queen in the middle of the board simply did not occur to. But the fact that the White queen could not retreat back down the c-file or the a6-f1 diagonal should have alerted me that the White queen was short of flight squares (<NO RETREAT>) and thus potentially trappable. |

| Jul-19-06 | | steamroller: <savuflorin1983> That's incorrect. If 15. Ncd5, Black doesn't win by 15... Nxd5 16. Qxd5 and White escapes. Instead Black plays 15... Nxc4 16. Nxb6 Nxb6 and emerges a piece up. |

 | | whiteshark: <14.fxe3> is calling for a halt before it's too late. |
|
| Feb-06-08 | | Whitehat1963: Okay, it's hopeless, but what's best play if white plays on via 15. Qd5? |
