Jul-30-06		notyetagm: <Whitehat1963: Suddenly it's over!> Yes. The b2-square was a <LOOSE> mating focal point next to the White king and 25 ... c4! brings in the Black a5-knight to coordinate with the Black c3-queen on this target. White's only defense to the mate threat of 26 ... b2# is to play 26 x so he resigns.

Jan-13-09		DarthStapler: Bxf2+ and black is winning
