| al wazir: <RandomVisitor: Did White miss 22.Nxe5! Bxe5 23.Bb4+>. I don't understand. Why can't black just play 23...Bd6 ? If 24. Qc7+ then 24...Ke6 25. Bxd6 Nxd6 26. Rc6 Rhd8. |

| Manequinho: What are the moves which distinguish Grob Opening? |

| kevin86: Does Grob have a dog named "SPIKE"?
The Grob's opening is simply 1 g4,also known as the Spike. Black is threatened by mate and also the rook is under fire. |

| Goato: Gowe in your line what would happen if instead of 23...Bd6 23...Nd6 to block the check. This takes the e4 square away from whites queen. |

| al wazir: <Gowe: 23...Bd6 24.Qb7! Ke6 25.Qe4+ Kd7 26.Qxf5+> Qe6 27. Rg7+. Thanks. And if instead 23...Nd6 then 24. Bxd6+ Bxd6 25. Qe4+ Kd7 26. Rg7! Qxg7 27. Qb7+, leaving white with  + vs.  + . |

| The17thPawn: <Goato> - I think you're suggestion has merit Nd6 looks to be more resilient to me. |

| al wazir: If black refuses the  sac by playing 23...Qe6, then 24. Qb7+ K moves 25. Qxa8+. And finally, if 23...Qe8 (best) then 24. Qb7+ Ke6 25. Nf3. White is a up, has a great positional advantage, and threatens to win the with Qe4+. <RandomVisitor>, if there were a brilliancy prize for kibitzing you would win it. |

| The17thPawn: <al wazir> Qe4+ in you're line can be answered by Be5 and 26.Rg7+,Qxg7 28.Qb7+,Kf8 29.Qxa8+,Kf7 and blacks still in the game. |
|
| Aug-05-06 |
| Gowe: <The17thPawn> In <Al wazir's line>: 23... nd6 24.Bxd6 Bxd6 <<25.Qe4+>> if Be5, then the simple 26.Rc7+ <winning the lovely queen>. |

| patzer2: White's 39. Be7! initiates a simple but instructive mating attack. After 39...Re8 40. Qg6+ Kh8 41. Bf6+ , mate follows. |
