Dec-09-08		beenthere240: Would 35. ...Ne7 have helped? Landing the white knight on f5 just killed black.

Dec-10-08		Eyal: <Would 35. ...Ne7 have helped?> No, it loses to 36.Nh6+ followed by 37.Qh5.

Dec-10-08		Chicago Chess Man: So after 39..Nh8 comes 40. Bc4 ?

Dec-10-08		beenthere240: <eyal> Thanks I missed that. I keep going back in the game to find a point where black was not dead lost. Maybe 26...Nxe5 would have been better. At least it could get rid of the terrible white knight. the weaknesses at f5 and f6 are just devastaing

Dec-10-08		beenthere240: 40. Be2 and 41 Bh5 also looks tough to meet. Note how many sqares black's queen has available.

Dec-10-08		Eyal: <Chicago Chess Man> Yeah, Black is completely helpless after 39...Nh8 40.Bc4. <beenthere240> I suspect Black's critical mistake was already 24...g5 - that's the move which really creates those irreversible weaknesses you were mentioning.
