| Feb-14-05 | | Granite: I really enjoyed the progression of the attack from move 10 onward. First he threatens to mess him up a but, black responds passively, then a pawn is threatened, black ups the stakes and attacks the knight with his pawn. White then says - fine I want the king if you want the knight. Black declined, but then 13. Nxf7! says - I insist on the offer and binds the package up nicely. Nice game. |

| Feb-14-05 | | BlazingArrow56: Is 13. Nxg6 bad or simply less accurate? |

 | | patzer2: Looks like a demolition of pawn structure via 13. Nxf7! Also enjoyed how the followup on this deflection involved three key pins in preparation for the mate. |

 | | kevin86: Anyone remember Greg Valentine-the pro wrestler? This attack was a vicious as one of his. In short,Valentines are heartless! :) |
|
| Feb-14-05 | | Knight13: Very good game. I like it! |
|
| Feb-14-05 | | Bobsterman3000: <Kevin86> Do you mean Greg "The Hammer" Valentine? LOL |

| Feb-14-05 | | ajile: well 4..Nxe4 is horrible. |
|
| Feb-15-05 | | CHEG: After 13 Nxg6?
13 ... fxg6 14 Qxg6+ Bg7 15 Qh7+ Kf7 |
|
| Feb-15-05 | | BlazingArrow56: <CHEG> Then isnt 16. Bg6 mate or am I missing something? |
|
| Feb-15-05 | | aw1988: Nxg6 is much more accurate than Nxf7. Of course Nxf7 wins, but Nxg6 was a terrible blow. I would have played either, so long a win is brought forth. Yes, 16. Bg6 is mate. |
