Sep-07-07		Resignation Trap: Fascinating game from start to finish. The icing on the cake is 29.Rb6!

Sep-10-07		notyetagm: <Resignation Trap: Fascinating game from start to finish. The icing on the cake is 29.Rb6!> Yes, the <INTERFERENCE> tactic does not occur often but when it does, it is -devastating-. 29 b5-b6! <BLOCKS> the line of life-giving force from the Black a6-queen to the <LOOSE> Black c6-knight and (equally important) the <LOOSE> c6-checking focal point.

Sep-10-07		notyetagm: <INTERFERENCE> is based on the principle that I like to call <"-I- BLOCK it, you take it, -YOU- BLOCK it">. With 29 b5-b6! White <BLOCKS> the line/corridor from the Black a6-queen to the <LOOSE> Black c6-knight / c6-checking focal point. If Black captures this <BLOCKING> White b6-rook with 29 ...c7xb6, then -he- (that is, -Black-) <BLOCKS> the line/corridor from a6 to c6. See, this is the whole point of <INTERFERENCE>: White does not care one bit whether there is a -White- piece on b6 <BLOCKING> the line a6-c6 at b6 (White b6-rook) or a -Black- piece on b6 <BLOCKING> the line a6-c6 at b6 (Black b6-pawn) <as long as there is -some- piece blocking the corridor/line from a6 to c6 at b6, cutting off the line of life-giving force from the Black a6-queen>.
