Apr-16-03		Elrathia Kingi: What happens if 12...Kg7 13.Qh5 Rh8?

Apr-16-03		Honza Cervenka: Why not (after 12...Kg7) 13.Bxf7 instead of 13.Qh5?

Apr-16-03		Elrathia Kingi: 13...Nxd5

Apr-17-03		Honza Cervenka: If you have meant 13...Nxe5 (13...Nd5 is possible move, but very bad one), then what about 14.Qg3 N5g4 (what else?) 15.Re1? For example, 15...d6 does not seem to be a good idea for 16.Ne6+ Bxe6 17.Bxe6 etc.

Jun-01-04		zb2cr: Looks to me like after 12...Kg7, White's strongest might be 13 Nxf7. Black's got to do something about the threat to his Queen, but the most reasonable-looking move, 13 ...Rxf7, loses to 14 Bxf7, Kxf7; 15 Bxe3, dxe3; 16 Qd5+. In this line, if 14...Nxf1; 15 Kxf1 and Black still has to decide what to do about his B on c5, while being 2 Pawns down. The alternative following 12...Kg7; 13 Nxf7, is 13...Qh4. I can't fathom the complications here.
