Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-18-12  King Death: White's buildup to the Ne6 sacrifice seemed to be inevitable but his opponent didn't do much to stop it. Maybe 12...Kf8 wasn't best and Black could have tried 12...a6 instead. Another idea was 14...h5 with the plan 15.h3 Nh6 16.Nd5 Bd8. It seems like 14...Nf6 was routine and the knight didn't do much there.
