Feb-01-08 | | whiteshark: <17...Ne4> looks like a better (the only) playable move here. However, there is a strong tactical continuation <18.f6 Bxf6 19.Bxh5 Rxh5 20.Qxg4+ Rg5 21.Bxg5 Bxg5 22.Qh5 Be3+ 23.Kh1 Nf6>  click for larger viewand now <24.Qh3! Bg5 25.Ne5 Qe7 26.Rae1 >

 | | Phony Benoni: Famous palindrome:
"<A man, a plan, a canal--Panama>!" If you don't know what a palindrome is, read it backwards. And, of course, having "Suez" as part of Black's name just adds to the pun. |

Jun-08-12 | | sevenseaman: Very opportunistic exploitation of resources to hand by White that keeps a big chunk of Black's fire power dormant. A fine palindrome spotted by <Phony Benoni> I was sensing something like that when I hit his sharp observation. Mrs Indira Gandhi, former prime minister of India was received at the airport by the then external affairs minister of Malaysia Mr. Adam Malik. A sharp cross-word setter was quick on the draw next Sunday with; How palindromically the foreign minister of Malaysia greeted Mrs. Gandhi. Madam I'm Adam. |

Jun-08-12 | | Tiggler: 24...Bd6 appears to be the losing move. How might W continue against 24...Qd6? |

This guy Gilles has such a great surname. If you saw it in a novel you'd guess it had been used for comic effect, wouldn't you? Don't nod. |
|
Jun-08-12 | | Tiggler: <Shams: <Tiggler> 24...Qd6 25.Ne6+! [Shredder]> Yes, I saw that, but it is better than the game continuation after
25... Kg8 (of course not 25... Bxe6). |

Jun-08-12 | | goodevans: <Tiggler: 24...Bd6 appears to be the losing move. How might W continue against 24...Qd6?> 24...Bf6 seems to put up more resistance than either of these moves. Alternatively 24...Qf8. |

Jun-08-12 | | bischopper: how get out if the bishops both and one piece like the king can to mate before of that the rook act...? |
