| Honza Cervenka: What about 21.Ne4? White threatens to play 22.Nxf6# and if black plays 21...Bd5, then 22.Rxd5 (once again white threatens to play Nxf6#) 22...cxd5 (what else?) 23.Qxc7 dxe4 24.Bc4 Rf8 25.Bd5 etc. |

| Benzol: In the book by Nezhmetdinov of his own games 21.Ne4 is the follow up mentioned, but the notes to the game are by Nezhmetdinov's friend Voloshin. |

| Elrathia Kingi: I don't have a board in front of me, but if 21.Ne4 Qe7, can white do better than 22.Qxc6+ Kf8 23.Qxa8+? |

| Sneaky: I don't think White needs to do much better than that... it wins a rook and two pawns (if you include a7). |

| amate42day: Hi everyone.. I'm new at this but it seems to me that 21. Bf3 is the forced win! Now I haven't been playing club chess long and it's my first time Kibitzing so be gentle with your comments!! lol |

| karlzen: <amate42day>, Hi there! Welcome to the prominent forum. I can't see much more than perhaps equality after your suggested move. Say, 21.Bf3 Rc8 22.Ne4 Qe7! 23.Nd6+ Kf8 and 24.Nxc8 is even impossible due to Qxc5. :) 21.Ne4 immediately does it though. It gives white the advantage of a piece and a pawn and if 21...Bd7 then simply 22.Nxf6+ Kd8 23.Bg4!. |

| amate42day: Thanks Karlzen now I see the power of Ne4 much better than Bf3 :-) |

| EXIDE: I do not see the follow up after 18. ..., Ne8. Any thoughts on this line of play? |

| erikcu: I think I will go play scrabble. Chessgames humbles me with puzzles. I guess I can be happy I made it to Saturday until I was completely stumped. |

| masterwojtek: I got the main line but i am also curious about 18...Ne8 and 18...Nd5. Can someone <crafty> ?,give some analisys on those moves? Many thanks in advance. |

| richardg: there is the obvious threat of mate in two if the queen doesn't defend...so Ne4...Qe7,, Q*c6+...Kf8,,Q*a8 so white is up a knight |
|

| masterwojtek: <crafty> Can you please post some analysis on 18...Ne8 and 18...Nd5? |

| ksadler: An incredible game! The follow up 21. Ne4! Qa7 22. Nxf6# is breathtaking! |

| Timothy Glenn Forney: Nezhmetdinov must have had an enormous IQ,to see combinations this deep,only a very few of today's GMs would see 20.Rxf6!! |
