Jan-07-02		bishop: Instead of 24..Rc7?,how about ..Bxh6 25 Qxh6ck ..Ke7 26 Qg5 ..Kf8 and I cannot find anything besides perpetual for white.

Jan-07-02		Sneaky: OK how about this, 24. ...Bxh6 25. Qxh6+ Ke7 26. Qg5. Now what does Black do to prevent the winning sacrifice Nxe5? E.g., 26. ...Qc2? 27. Nxe5! (threatening Nc6+ Kf8 Qh6#) dxe5 28. Qxe5+ Kf8 and there's no way Black can prevent threats like Nh5 and d6.

Jan-08-02		bishop: After 24..bxh6 25.Qxh6+ Ke7 26.Qg5 Kf8 27.Nxe5 dxe5 28.Qh6ck(If Rxe5 then ..Qc1+)Ke7 29. Rxe5+ Kd6 and black escapes.
