| Aug-31-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: OK. That's both easy and subtle at once.
It's easy to see that 18 Nxd5 wins at least a bit of material, in that the knight is poisoned. Upon further review, both accepting and declining the knight lead to catastrophic material loss if Black is to avoid immediate mate. |

| Aug-31-20 | | Walter Glattke: A) 18.Nxd5 cxd5 19.Rc1+ Nc5 20.Rxc5+ Kd7 21.Rc7+ Ke8 22.Rxe7+ Kxe7 23.Qh4+ Ke8 24.g4 B) 18.Nxd5 Ne5 19.Nxe7+ Kd7 20.Qxe5 C) 18.Nxd5 Nf4 19.Qxf4 Qb4+ 20.Nxb4 a5 D) 18.Nxd5 Qb4+ 19.Nxb4 Ndf6 E) 18.Nxd5 Qe8 19.Qc7# F) 18.Nxd5 Qe5 19.Nxe5 |

| Aug-31-20 | | stacase: That took about 5 seconds. When your opponent resigns, always accept it. |

| Aug-31-20 | | saturn2: White wins at least Q vs R
18. Nxd5 cxd5 19. Rc1+ Nc5 20. Rxc5+ Kd7 21. Rc7- |

| Aug-31-20 | | saturn2: <Walter Glattke ü18.Nxd5 Nf4 19.Qxf4> 19 Nxe7 is check and wins the queen at once and for nothing |

 | | FSR: 17...O-O-O?? was naive. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | agb2002: White can expose the black king and win decisive material with 18.Nxd5 cxd5 (due to Qc7# and Nxe7#) 19.Rc1+ Nc5 20.Rxc5+ Kd7 21.Rc7+ Ke8 (21... Ke6 22.Qe5#) 22.Rxe7+. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | areknames: <17...O-O-O?? was naive.> Yes, something like 17...Nhf6 and Black looks absolutely fine. 18.Nxd5 is a killer. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Rather coffeehouseish game -- dead even, but White has the practical chances in case Black blunders, as he most emphatically does. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | Brenin: A classic case of walking into a sucker punch. In this sort of position 0-0-0 is obviously desirable, but here preparatory moves such as Nhf6, Nb6 or Nf8 were needed, giving Black a reasonable position. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | cocker: Talk about castling into trouble. |
|

 | | perfidious: Black was apparently lulled to sleep by an opening line which secured him easy equality and forgot to be vigilant for the lightning strike from a clear blue sky. |

| Aug-31-20 | | smitha1: It took me far too long. What fascinated me was how the White Queen got to h2... |

| Aug-31-20 | | malt: 18.N:d5 cd5 19.Rc1+ Nc5 20.R:c5+ Kd7
(20...Q:c5 )
21.Rc7+ wins |

| Aug-31-20 | | Vermit: Sometimes we make blunders. Sometimes others blunder against us:

|
| Aug-31-20 | | zb2cr: 18. Nxd5, threatening mate. If 18. ... cxd5; 19. Rc1+, Nc5; 20. Rxc5+, Qxc5; 21. dxc5 and White has Q+2P vs. R. Refusing the Knight with some move such as 18. ... Qb4+ drops the Queen for a Knight. |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | awfulhangover: 18.Nxd5 is deadly, but a move that a patzer like me easily could have missed OTB |
|
| Aug-31-20 | | TheaN: <18.Nxd5> threatening Qc7# and Nxe7+ forcing <18....cxd5 19.Rc1+ Nc5 20.Rxc5+ Kd7 21.Rc7+ +-> and it's done. Probably the most interesting part of this game is that a castle, which is supposed to be a king safety move, is one of the few 17th moves for Black that throws the game instantly. I don't see what Black's blindness would be, he isn't facing much trouble anyway. The only cause I can think of is that Black considered castling finishing his development. One way to do this forced and rather safely is 17....Qb4 (not necessarily best) 18.0-0-0 0-0-0, but now 19.g4 ⩲ is slightly problematic because White has the h-file. In fact, that whole point makes me believe that castling long isn't the right way to activate Ra8 regardless. |

 | | gawain: If only Black had a robot like the one in Lost in Space. "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger, Will Robinson!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWw...
That might have stopped him from castling. |

|
| Aug-31-20 | | lost in space: Yes, the "Danger, Will Robinson" Robot is helpfull. 18. Nxd5 was obvious.

|
| Aug-31-20 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: After long thinking, my old Bulgarian friend Kiril Dimitrov finally found the nice combination 18.Nxd5!,cxd5 19.Rc1+,Nc5 20.Rxc5+,Kd7 21.Rc7+ +-. Sometimes chess can be very easy. |
