Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-15-09  chillowack: At first I thought there must be a mistake in the score, but upon closer examination I saw that after 18...fxg5 19.b3 traps the queen.

And now that White has castled, Black no longer has the saving reply 19...Rb3--which explains why Black resigned after this move.

However: could Black have fought on with 19...Qf4 20.Rf4 Rf4, selling the queen for a rook, knight and pawn? This would have been an even trade, materially speaking. True, White would still have had an advantage, but it's not over yet.

  vonKrolock: <chillowack> You're right... Frederico was enthralled by the Q loss and overlooked that possibility, and this also occurred to the few kibitzers - there was a fight still, sure... Nevertheless, that Q chase was very satisfying, from my point of vue
