Apr-18-08  Whitehat1963: Okay, seriously folks, (and forgive the pun), there is a LOVELY puzzle here after 20...Nf6. It might be easy to find the first couple of moves, but see if you can get all the way to the finish.

White rams away, showing no love at all!

Apr-18-08  Whitehat1963: Lovely combination, and look where it was played: Sackville, Canada! Too much!
Apr-18-08  Whitehat1963: Okay, here's the pun: No Love in Sackville.
Apr-18-08  whiteshark: Love sacked in Sackville.
Apr-18-08  Whitehat1963: Fork full of Love.

  Honza Cervenka: After 10...0-0 the position was just asking for h4-h5 but white went for quite different plan with opening of centre by e3-e4. Black's play was quite cooperative in this matter, at first he recaptured the Bishop by Bishop instead of Pawn, and then he played rather useless 12...Re8 leaving f7 without protection, which gave white a tempo for developing his attack after also unnecessary 13...dxe4. But decisive mistake was 20...Nf6? while 20...Nc5 would have held the position close to equality. Final combination was not so difficult to figure out but it was very nice.

  Honza Cervenka: Btw, 24.Ne6 Qc6 25.Rd8 h5 (25...Bf6 26.g5) 26.Nxg7 Kxg7 27.Rxe7+ was sufficient for win too but 24.Rd8 is more elegant and faster.

  Teyss: The location called for a pun. Yes Black's play was suboptimal but he was only rated 1629 and it allowed this brilliant sac, all the more remarkable that White was only rated 1908. *sigh*

Black cannot refuse the Queen sac: 21...Kh8 22.Qxg7+ Kxg7 23.Ne6+ and 24.Nxc7. After 23.Bxe8, Black cannot try to avoid the Knight fork with 23...Kg8 because of 24.Bf7+ Kh8 (Kf8 25.Ne6+) 25.Ne6 wins. An idea similar to <Honza Cervenka> 's but with the WB still on the board.

Black resigned 26..Kf7 was an option leaving White with the pleasant choice of taking the Queen or playing checkmate.
