Jul-30-05		gambitfan: why not 15. fg ++ instead of this slow 15. Qh3 ??

Jan-30-06		al wazir: <gambitfan: why not 15. fg ++> I see no checkmate. 15. fxg6+ Kg8 16. gxh7+ (or Qf7+) Kh8. Furthermore, black could have continued the game with 18...Nxf5. If 19. Bxd8 then 19...Rxh7. If 19. Qxf5+ then 19...Bf6 20. Bxf6 Qc8. Where's the win?

Jan-31-06		Cyphelium: <al wazir> After 18.- xf5 19. xf5+ f6 20. xf6 c8 21. f3 black has to move the rook, but then d5 falls. White will then have four pawns for a mere exchange while black´s king is still out in the open. For example 21.- g8 22. xd5+ e6 (22.- f8 23. f1) 23. xb7 looks hopeless for black, as does 21.- e8 22. xd5+ g6 23. f1. Even if black somehow manages to avoid mate, the endgame is lost.

Jan-31-06		al wazir: <Cyphelium:> I agree that black's is exposed and the endgame is bad for him (white's two king-side pawns look especially strong), but the fact is, black can reach an endgame. White doesn't have a mate or an overwhelming material advantage. I would have played on a few more moves.
