V Gashimov vs Ivanchuk, 2011 32 Bb6-c5! attacks Black f8-bishop protecting g7-mating sq

Mar-12-11  notyetagm: Game Collection: HIT DEFENDERS SO HARD! HIT DEFENDERS SO HARD!
Mar-12-11  Akavall: 32. Bc5!! seems obvious once you see it, but it is not an easy move to find. It's easy for a puzzle because it's not a sacrifice, and over the board moves like that just don't come to mind.

That's a great thing about Amber, moves like 32. Bc5 come up almost every round.

Mar-12-11  Gilmoy: I wrenched my neck trying to follow that black hummingqueen ...
Mar-12-11  mig26: RxBc5 ????? Why not 32 g6 ?
Mar-12-11  vanytchouck: In fact, i've seen Bc5 but right after 28...Bf8.

I was wondering why Gashimov hasn't played it yet when i notice Bxc5 + ...

Mar-12-11  kingfu: I did the math and I believe about 30% of Chuky's moves were with his Queen.

Mar-14-11  sevenseaman: Fantastic idea; pulling a R off the base rank!

Utterly compromises the role of smugly sitting Black DSB.

Mar-26-11  kingfu: Sastre,

There you go again.

Have you ever seen the movie "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid?"

Who are those guys?

Who are YOU?

Your analysis is completely accurate at all times. You have told me logical moves in my posts time after time after time after time.

Thank You.

We , in The Chess Community, need many more people like you.

Logical and analytic.

Who are you?

We need to know so we may share in your wisdom.

Actually, after 24. Be2, Black wins immediately with 24...Nxh3+ 25. Kh1 Nxf2+, winning a rook and a queen for knight.

  Sastre: <newzild> I think you have the wrong position in mind, as Black can't play 24...Nxh3+ after 24.Be2.
