| suenteus po 147: Would 38. Qe5 work? I'm guessing probably not, since 38...Nb3+ looks bad. |

| Eric6312: It seems as if White miscalculated the strength of his attack. He has to trade off all his attacking pieces and ends up with a terrible endgame. |

| minimaxing: 38. Qe5 does look much stronger than 38. b6. White must have overlooked the fork or hoped his opponent would. |

| ArturoRivera: white must have been in time trouble, plus he played like if he were Mikhail Tal, and we all saw that he wasnt, however, it is almost a rule that two rooks and a minor piece will win against a king unlss the player with the queen has a some desicive passed pawns.
Time trouble was logical the reason 38.-b6? |

| kevin86: "Gasic Pickles" I bet that was a hard one to get out of the pun jar! White's play was rather sour-the attack gained him the queen-at the expense of two rooks and a knight. Then he trapped one of the rooks in a sweet series of moves--only to feel the vinegar in the eye- of a knight fork on his poor queen. Did anybody ever notice that pickles are packed MUCH tighter than sardines?-maybe we ught to change the metaphor. |

| artemis: White's three passed pawns are all connected, allowing the knight alone to blockade them, if need be, as only two of them were advanced. Two rooks vs. a queen is a win, as long as the possessor of the rooks is very careful with them. The oversight with the queen could very well have been due to time trouble. <Kevin86> I absolutely love puns, and make many obscure ones of my own, with very little connection to a relevant theme, but that is really stretching it;) |

| xiaolin: nice game he should have tried being more careful with his queen |
