Feb-17-02		knight: If 17.Qxd4 Re6 and if then 18.Qxc5? then Nxf3 mate.

Aug-20-07		beenthere240: If 17. Qxd4 Nxf3 and picks up the queen.

Nov-21-07		amprofff: How does black win the queen after 18. gxf3? 18... Re8+ 19. Be2. If 17. Qxd4 Re6 18. Be2 I can't find anything good for black. 18... Qxd4 19. Rxd4 Rfe8 doesn't work because of 20. Re4 and there doesn't seem to be anything else.
