  tamar: 11...Nb4 must have been a big surprise.

If 12 Nxc5 not ...Nc2+ but 12...Bc2 mating the queen.

  RandomVisitor: 14.Bc3 seems to be better.

12...Nxd3+!

  Once: Gruesome end for an uncastled white king. Black played some good moves here. I particularly enjoyed 13... Be3 and 15...Nxd3+ to open lines for the hesvy pieces. A very single-minded attack.

What I won't enjoy is having THAT song running my head all day... grrr!

Sep-08-09   mertangili: <RandomVisitor> Although i agree that 14.Bc3 is better than text move, i believe black still has a strong attack with 14...b5.

Now:
15.Nb2Qa3 (16.Qb3Qxb3 17.Nc2+) 16.Bxb4Qxb4+ 17.Kf1Qxb2

15.Bxb4 of course cant save the knight; 15...Qxb4+ and the knight falls on the next move.

15.Qb3 seems better but after 15...Nxd3+ 16.exd3Qxa4 black still has the advantage

Sep-08-09   lostgalaxy: Why 9.f3? Why not simply recapture the pawn.
Sep-08-09   melianis: That ..e5, ..e4 looks so nasty better to avoid it.
Sep-08-09   cschoenberger: <lostgalaxy: Why 9.f3? Why not simply recapture the pawn> 9.N5xe4 Nxe4 10.Nxe4 Bxe4 11.Bxe4 Qd4 attacking both e4 and a1 seems to be good for Black

  RandomVisitor: <mertangili>14.Bc3 b5 and now:

15.a3! Qxa4 16.axb4 Qxd1+ 17.Kxd1 0-0-0 18.Ra6 Kb7 19.cxb5 and white appears winning.

14.Rb1 Bxd2+ 15.Qxd2 Nc2+ 16.Kd1 Qxa4 17.Qxc2 is also playable.

Now that was a seriously funny post! And, yes, a much better pun. Thank you for making me smile. :-)

  YouRang: I had to look it up, but the pun is evidently a nickname for singer MC Hammer, of "You Can't Touch This" fame:

Sep-08-09   ROO.BOOKAROO: White cannot take the e5 pawn 6. Nxe5 because of 6. ...Qd4, forking the knight and rook. Right?
