Aug-25-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: What does Black do after 22.Nxe4? |
|
Aug-25-05 | | Runemaster: Maybe 22...Bxf1 23.Rxf1 Qg4. |
|
Aug-25-05 | | psmith: <Runemaster> That makes no sense; the suggestion is that white play Nxe4 rather thant Bxh3 so the Black Bishop is still on e6. |
|
Aug-25-05 | | psmith: <Emperor Atahualpa> But 22. Nxe4 also doesn't make sense, since the B on e6 is overed by the Q on c8 and Black just plays 22...dxe4 with advantage. So perhaps you intended 23. Nxe4? Then Runemaster's reply fits. |
|
Aug-25-05 | | psmith: But after 23. Nxe4 Bxf1 White should try 24. Qxd5+ Kh8 25. Bxg7+ |
|
Aug-25-05 | | Runemaster: <psmith> <But after 23. Nxe4 Bxf1 White should try 24. Qxd5+ Kh8 25. Bxg7+> 24.Qxd5+ loses the queen to ...Rxd5.
And yes, I did think the suggestion was 23.Nxe4, because 22.Nxe4 made no sense for the reason you said. |
|
Aug-25-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: yes, I meant 23.Nxe4. Thanks guys. And sorry for all the confusion. What one little typo can do! :) |
|
Aug-25-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: nice suggestion, <runemaster>. so we have....23.Nxe4 Rxf1 24.Rxf1 Qg4. But then White's best line would be 25.Nxg5 Qxg5 26.Qxb7! |
|
Aug-25-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: After some monkeying around on my computer, I finally managed to run crafty on winboard. Here's Crafty's suggestion after 23.Nxe4: 23. ... Bxf1 24. Rxf1 Bh6 25. Nc3 Qg4 26. Nxd5 Kh8 27. Bc5 Qxe2+ 28. Kg1 Qe5 29. Rd1 Rdc8 30. Qxb7 Qxg3+ (depth=13 -3.33) Not quite like I had it in my mind... |
|
Aug-31-05 | | psmith: <runemaster> "24.Qxd5+ loses the queen to ...Rxd5." Oops, that was silly of me! Sorry. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Pretty interesting game. Back in my playing days, I used to sit in on post mortem and say, "Never force your opponent to find the best move." It sounds so obvious as to become a joke, but I've seen far too many moves like 18.h3? (in my own games, too, darn it), and maybe that little wisecrack is a little more profound than it seems. |
|
Aug-31-05 | | Sourav: Does anybody know who the actual players were in this game? |
|
Aug-31-05 | | bishopmate: this game looks like the kind of stuff people try in blitz games... nice looking though |
|
Jan-16-06 | | Manu2: I agree with bishopmate. I wonder if this was a 2hr game. Good stuff though |
|
Jan-16-06 | | refutor: <i wonder if this was a 2hr game> i doubt it...it says "Postal" in the location so that would lead me to think it was correspondence |
|
Dec-26-07 | | evenua: 18.h3 looks like a bad mistake. However, I don't see any menacing continuation for Black after 19.Bxf2. |
|
Dec-26-07 | | black knight c6: The key is to sac to get all of black's pieces involved- 19. Bxf2 Rxf2! 20. Kxf2 Qc5!+:
21. Ke1 Qg1+ 22. Bf1 Qxg3#
21. Kf1 Rf8+ 22. Bf3 Bxh3+ 23. Ke1 Qg1#
21. e3 Qxe3+ 22. Kf1 Rf8+ 23. Bf3 (Qf2 Qxf2#) Rxf3 24. Kg2 Rxg3+ etc. |
