| Genevieve: What else could black do in move 10, but take white's queen? Guess black didn't see the mate in 2 coming... |

Shredder 9 gives this line:

11. xg4 d7
12. h5+  g6
13.  g5 c6

| Genevieve: <WannaBe> Your line 10. ... c8 indeed relieves the pressure on the black king and avoids the text mate in 2 by providing an escape square for the black king, but looses the bishop (11. e5xg4), leaving black 2 pieces down.
Schredder's recapturing of the knight makes more sense, but also looses the bisshop (11. d1xg4). |

| Genevieve: <WannaBe> You're right, black's recapturing the pawn with the knight in move 9 was a fatal mistake. Anything else would have been better, IMO. I guess black liked the look of having the knight on e5, threathening c4 and f3, and considered the knight on f3 not dangerous because it is pinned to the queen. |

| schnarre: I agree with Schredder's line as well, but from what I've seen 4...Qe7 simply can't be recommended (with Nd5 only a few hoofbeats away). |

| Knight13: At least this is better than the <...Bg4 Nxe5> trick that usually results in Four Knights Game with Guico Piano bishops on c4 and c5. |

| birthtimes: This game is in the classic book on each possible type of mate, "The Art of the Checkmate" by Georges Renaud and Victor Kahn. If a beginner absorbed this book, "Strategy and Tactics in Chess" by Euwe, and "Essential Chess Endings" by James Howell, s/he would be, at the very least, an expert chess player. |
