Aug-04-09		outplayer: 11.Qh5+ ends all.

Jan-17-11		FSR: Outplayer speaks the truth.

Feb-25-11		MaczynskiPratten: But in any case White must be winning this all the way up to 18 Qxe5??? He is a rook and two minor pieces ahead at this point! (and a couple of pawns) He can afford to let some of it go and exchange Queens with 18 Qxg3. Even if the Rook on f1 and one of the Knights goes, the ending should be an easy win. Instead he was too greedy. I suppose I was too when I was under 11.

Jun-21-11		Dr. J: After 18 Qxg3 Rg8 it's still complicated, but White seems to win: 19 Qxg8 (19 Bxg8?? Ne2+ wins) Bxf1 20 Qg3 or 19...Bg4?? 20 Qd5+ Kb6 21 Qb5#, but maybe I have missed something. An simpler win would seem to be 16 Ne4+ Qxe4 17 Qh6+ (or 16... Kc6 17 Qf6+).

Mar-14-12		soberknight: I didn't notice it was "under 11". That explains the poor quality of play. I agree with the other notes.
