Feb-06-05		InfinityCircuit: Incredible combination by Walbrodt, today's player of the day. Sacrifices of knight and rook are not in vain, and lead to the win. I particularly like the knight sacrifice, when he demolished the barrier around the king. On the other hand, Black's lack of development made the material actually even, in terms of attackers and defenders. This is what turned the tide. A couple of possible improvements: There are a couple in the opening (i.e. Ne2 instead of Nf3) but nonetheless the meat of this game is in the combination. 14... exf3 is a huge blunder. This is the point where Black loses. (14... Qg6 15. Qh4 exf3 16. Bc4 Nc6 17. Bxg8 Qxg8 18. gxf3 Qxa2 19. Rhe1+ ) This avoids the mate, but still sacs the queen. 15... f2 16. Bxf7 Kxf7 17. Qxh7+ Rg7 18.Qh5+ Rg6 19. f5 Bxf5 20. Qxf5 Rg5 21. Qxf2 Nc6 22. Rhf1 Kg8 This might be better, but the end is inevitable: 16... Rg7 17. Qxg7+ Qf7 18. Rhe1+ Be6 19. Rxe6+ Kxe6 20. Re1+ Kd6 21. Qxf7 Kc5 22. Qxc7+ Nc6 23. b4+ Kxb4 24. Qxb7+ Kc5 25. Qxa8 fxg2 26. Rg1

Feb-06-05		euripides: The double sacrifice of knight and bishop by normal developing moves to attacked squares is very charming.
