Feb-18-05		Orbitkind: Great attack. It seems that for the last handful of moves though, white is stabbing in the dark for counterplay and has no chance of any.

Feb-18-05		Orbitkind: Great attack. It seems that for the last handful of moves though, white is stabbing in the dark for counterplay and has no chance of any; or rather, Tal just accepts these desperate sacrifices by white and then is happy to wrap up the game in a sensible manner being a piece up by then. I think Tal decides to stop attacking, and when white realises this a piece down he resigns.
