Jan-16-19		TheaN: Wednesday 16 January 2019 <26....?> What's interesting about this position is that <26....Nxf2> in itself is obvious. A) <27.Kxf2 Qe2+ 28.Kg1 f2#> is very nice, but certainly not what White will play. B) <27.Ne3> possibly the most neutral way to surrender Bh3, but should be lost because the attack doesn't diffuse after <27....Nxh3+ -+>... in fact, 28.Kf1 Rd1+! 29.Qxd1 Qxe3 -+ is forced and down and out, but that I did not foresee. C) <27.Bf5> is definitely the most practical defense. I went with <27....Rd1 -+> and tbh, I think it sufficiently solves the position, though perhaps Nd1 is more neat. Black utilizes the only piece that was still idle in the attack, and I don't see any practical way to solve the problems. Obviously, 28.Qxd1 Nxd1 is lost, as Black immediately threatens Qc5+. The inbetween 28.Bh7+ Kh8 is harmless. 28.Qb2/Qc2 will see Qe2! whereas the second rank threats (Nh3 with f2#) decide. After 28.Qf4 Black can simply play 28....Rxa1, not necessarily winning a Rook, but creating back rank threats. After 29.Qb8+ Be8, White has no real defenses against Rxf1+.

Jan-16-19		Jimfromprovidence: I got the line 26...Nxf2 27 Bf5 Qe2 as well. A nice wrinkle is that after 28 Qe3?! (instead of 28 Qe1), 28...Nd1, below, is the correct move in both cases. click for larger view The threat is 29...Qg2# so this forces 29 Qxe2 with black winning after 29...fxe2. click for larger view

Feb-05-20		Cheapo by the Dozen: I did this a little too quickly, and was overly proud of ... Rd1, skewering queen and rook. I.e., I overlooked the simple Qb2. Fortunately, the engine thinks that the attack after ... Qe2 wins in devastating fashion anyway.

Feb-05-20		schizoidman: Why does white sac his knight for 2 pawns on move 19? Black's pawn center is menacing, but the sac seems unnecessarily desperate to me.
