| HeadISBAgent: The power of the two knights!
32. ...Kh8 33. Bxg7#
32. ...gxh6 33. Qxh6 Bf8 34. Qg5+ Bg7 35. Qxg7#
32. ...gxh6 33. Qxh6 Bf6 34. Bxf6 with unstoppable mate on g7 no matter what black takes. [I think :)] |

| HeadISBAgent: Just wondering, doesn't 32. Qh6 also work? |

| sacanimal: <HeadISBAgent: Just wondering, doesn't 32. Qh6 also work?> That was my first thought, also, but 32...Bf8 holds. |

| Gypsy: <Hidden Skillz: 31.Nxe6 is so evil..pretty kool game..> After 31.Nxe6! fxe6 32.Qc3, White easily wins on material; e.g., 32...Bf6 33.Nxf6 gxf6 34.Rxc8+... |

| loudubb: took me a minute...but finally figured it was Nh6+, and this is supposed to be easy |

| greystar69: 32. Qh6 almost works. But the fact that after 32. ... Bf8 this bishop is also defended by the knight on d7. |

| kevin86: A bit of humor and reverse psychology by chessgames. They want us to find the complicated queen sac instead of the simpler h6+. Sometimes the simple move-is the right move. |

| Vischer: What about 32.Qh6 Bf8 33.Qxg7+ Bxg7 34.Bxg7 ? Oh nevermind there's h5 or something. |

| Everett: This combination still blows me away. Sacrifice a rook, put both knights en prise, black's move and he's lost. |

| Raskolnikov: The other possibility of White 31.f5 is much weaker then 31.:e6: e.g. 31..:c4 32.:e7 f8 33.:g7+ :e7 and black holds. |

| notyetagm: <Everett: This combination still blows me away. Sacrifice a rook, put both knights en prise, black's move and he's lost.> Yes, absolutely amazing. Simply beautiful combination by Larsen. I love Larsen's 30 c4!, threatening to double his major pieces on the c-file properly with his queen behind his rook, which would take control of the only open file. By opposing it with 30 ... c8?, Black makes a tactical error since now he has a loose c8-rook and a loose potential mating focal point on g8, which are both lined up with the c3-square for the White queen. It amazes me how often opposing a rook on an open file is a tactical error. That is because this opposition (30 ... c8?) often makes a loose piece in the process and as Dr. Nunn likes to say, <LPDO - Loose Pieces Drop Off>. |

| notyetagm: <Hidden Skillz: 31.Nxe6 is so evil..> Yes, in the principle variation it is <CLEARANCE> of the a1-h8 diagonal for a <DOUBLE ATTACK>. 31 d4xe6! fxe6 32 c3!, threatening 33 xg7# while simultaneously putting the Black c8-rook en prise. |
