| notyetagm: <tal lover: Amazing what Negi saw with the move 22...Nc8, the point is 23.Rxc6 Nxd6 24.Bxd6 Rf6! winning the exchange, now is forced 25.Bxe7 Rxc6> Position after 23 c1xc6:
 click for larger viewThis move 23 c1xc6 provides an incredibly instructive tactical lesson: <<<<<IF YOU LINE UP YOUR PIECES, THEN THE REASON WHY SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER>>>>>. Here White played 23 c1xc6 in order to <DEFEND> his offside White d6-knight. White has no other way to save this endangered piece. <<<<<BUT THAT REASON SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER!!!!!!>>>>> White has lined up his <UNDEFENDED> White c6-rook with his White d6-knight and the upcoming <PIN> 24 ... f8-f6! will win material. Black simply says:
<Thanks so much for lining up your undefended White c6-rook with your White d6-knight so that I can pin them. No, I do not care -why- you lined up your pieces, just thanks for doing it.> |
