BraveUlysses: I'm with the "18.Nxf7! is better" crowd.
The continuation depends on errors (e.g. what's so bad about 18...Rg8?), especially the 19...Ne7 howler

BraveUlysses: <Gregor Samsa Mendel> Thanks- I did miss something obvious!

BraveUlysses: <Nick46>, "LOL" at your idea of playing with the victim, cat-like, with 22...Rh6? but unfortunately 23.Be5 crashes the party

BraveUlysses: <Once> re Fritz's analysis following the the brilliant try 17...Qe1!! after 18.Bg7, white is not nominally a pawn up, he is an exchange minus a pawn down in material terms.
The black king's cage is destroyed and as you say white has better attacking chances in the short ...

BraveUlysses: <chrisowen> Always a real pleasure to read your cryptic knight's-move musings, but sometimes brevity is the soul, etc. to wit, perhaps in case of trivial two move forced mate? :)

| |
|
BraveUlysses: I only saw Qd8+ too.
<stst> Amusing argument saying one forced mate in 2 is "superior" over another :)

| |
|
BraveUlysses: More like a Monday. Wonder why Gurevich didn't just resign immediately after 29...Qxe6?? Maybe time probs.

BraveUlysses: 18...Nh5 works better for black
