| leow: what if 13 kf1 ? |
|
| Oct-02-09 |
| Figs: if 13kf1 does 13...Qf4 win?
The discovered check looks dangerous, but I can't actually see any real danger and white's attack will run out.
Therefore, something like:
13. Kf1 Qf4
14. Nh6+ Kh8
15. Nf7 Rxf7
16. Bxf7 Bh4+
17. Kg1 Qf2# |

| Sem: 8. Qb3 looks promising, but IMO simply Bxd3 or castling would have been better. |

| RandomVisitor: 3 questionable moves in a row: 10.d6, 11.Ne5, 12.Nxf7 ... 3 strikes and you're out. |

| lzromeu: Indeed 10.d6 was premature: queen side not developed, no castle.
This is style of play in 18th century |

 |
| Phony Benoni: <lzromeu: This is style of play in 18th century> So Steele was behind the times? |
|
| Oct-02-09 |
| lzromeu: ops, 19th century |
|
| Oct-02-09 |
| lzromeu: <Phony Benoni> Great move, you fork 3: Steele, style and Still. Steel move. |

| tivrfoa: 11. dxc7 and white would be a piece up. But it seems that black would still be better, like <RandomVisito> posted. |
|
| Oct-02-09 |
| 310metaltrader: Um, someone explain to me why white resigns here. is there a mate i am missing? |
|
| Oct-02-09 |
| 310metaltrader: why did white resign? |
|
Oct-02-09
|
| RandomVisitor: <310metaltrader><why did white resign> 15.Bf5 Bxf5
15.Bf4 Qxf4+
15.Ke2 Bg4+ leads to mate in 8.
15.Kg1 Qc5+ is mate in 3.
15.Ke1 Nf4 and now:
a) 16.Bf1 Bg4
b) 16.Bxf4 Qxd3
c) 16.Be4 Bg4
The white king is stuck in the open as black can unfold his pieces into a direct attack on the king. White has no counterplay of any kind. |

| WhiteRook48: 12...Bxf2+!! |

Yes, White would be a piece up after 11.dxe7, but after 11...Qxe7+ he would not be enjoying it much. If, say, 12.Be3 Bxe3 13.fxe3 Qxe3+ 14.Kd1 Ng4, and White is suffering. Don't assume that these 19th century players were weak because they made insane looking attacking moves; there's a lot of depth there. Check out User: RandomVisitor's analysis of the final position; did you realize White's game was so hopeless? I know I didn't. |

11.dxe7 !> yeah. xD |
