| Dec-10-08 | | withingrace: great game, with a good mate.
if pawn takes.
28. gxh5 29. Qg5+ (1) Kh8 30. Qxh6+ Kg8 31. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# or (2) 29... Kf8 30. Qxh6+ Kg8 31. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# 1. if pawn doesn't take h5, Kh7.
28... Kh7 29. Nf6 (1) Kh8 30. Qxh6# or (2) 29... Kg7 30. Nxd7 (white advantage) 2. if pawns doesn't take h5, Kg6
28... Kg8 29. Qxh6 (1) gxh5 30. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# or (2) 29... f5 30. Nf6+ Kf7 31. Nxd7 (avatage white. 31... Rxd7 32. Rxf5 leads to some interesting possibilities) 3. and finally, if pawns doesn't take h5, Kf8
28... Kf8 29. Qxh6+ Kg8 30. Qg7#
happy birthday and my warmest regards chess games |

| Dec-10-08 | | DoubleCheck: 28. Nh5+!!
What an awesome move
If the black king goes on any light sqaures then Nf6+ forks to win queen If the black king moves on dark square then Qxh6+ becomes possible with mate next move More importantly if black takes the knight with gxh5? then its mate in four with 28. Nxh5+!! gxh5?
29. Qg5+! Kh8(Kf8)
30. Qxh6+ Kg8
31. Qh7+ Kf8
32. Qh8+ mate
I believe blacks 19...Qd7 was the sealed move as it achieves nothing If black played passively
19...a6 he might of stood a better chance
19...a6!?
20. Ng3 b5
21. b4 a5!
22. Qd2 axb4
23. axb4 Ra7 (aiming for ...Ra4)
24. Bc2 Rea8
and now the position has black controlling a-file

At my 7th birthday I broke my arm (not kidding), i'm happy to see that Artidiello didn't hurt himself with 7 Nxd5 Nxd5! 8 Bxd8 Bb4+ ... |
|
| Dec-10-08 | | lefthandsketch: happy birthday- it's mine today too actually! |
|
| Dec-11-08 | | patzer of patzers: <lefthandsketch> birthdays seem to pop up everywhere...someone at my school had a birthday too... As I predicted in my last post (well, I was only half right--I looked at other people's explanations), chessgames helped me understand this game, like so many others. Now I see that Nxh5+ is pure awesomeness. Impressive ending! |
|
| Dec-11-08 | | jovack: white plays with purpose, sitting up his pieces to exploits black's weaknesses (square colours, piece positions etc) and black sets up a meaningless defense that would suffice in any trade for trade game |
