Manic: <crabgrass> ...Nf7 would cover the h8 square, hence why the knight needs to be removed first.

|
Manic: <lajube> Confused me at first as well. The queen will be taken next move and white will be a piece and a few pawns up.

Manic: <YoungEd> The mistake is before that, Black is already losing a piece as the Bishop cannot move since the Nf6 drops, and if 22...Ne3 then 23.Rf4 Nfd5 24.Bxd5 Nxd5 25.Rxf5 or 23...Rh6 24.Re1.

Manic: He's got a point though... People read the same thing in different ways. Using the term <tactical inferiority> and signing off with <Sincerely> can come across as arrogant on the Internet. I'm sure <LTJ> did not mean to sound like that, but it can be interpreted that
