May-05-06		notyetagm: Bummer. Black played 17 ... b4? in order to provoke White into playing 18 c6!, a knight fork of the Black b4-queen and b8-rook. Black's point was that after 18 ... c3?? he threatens both 19 ... xc6 winning a piece and 19 ... g3#. Unfortunately for Black, White does not have to meet these threats after 18 ... c3??. Instead he can use his active c6-knight, mobile h1-rook and d1-queen, and the open h-file to play an <Anastasia mate>! Black threatens mate in one but White threatens mate with checks and its his move so he gets his in first! After 18 ... c3??, White forces the <Anastasia mate> with 19 e7+ h8 20 xh7+! xh7 21 h5#. You have got to know your basic mating patterns cold. Knowing this pattern cold gave Nogueiras and cost Todorovic a full point.

May-05-06		notyetagm: The open h-file to your king bites you in the ass every time.

Jul-17-09		Dillon: yea, open h files are fun. what a nice sac.
