QueenMe: Looks like <Eggman> got it right. His line is absolutely forcing. The game continuation, however, seems to allow for a wandering-king escape via e2, etc.; and once Black can catch his breath, White's attack really peters out in a hurry as soon as he takes the black bishop ...

QueenMe: Like <Patriot>, I saw 29 ... f3+ right away, but went with 30 ... g6+ instead. I guess my instincts will always have me staying on the opposite color ...

QueenMe: Odd that there is only one game in the database for a player good enough to have solved a "very difficult" problem over-the-board (through to mate, BTW).

| |
QueenMe: Got the first move right away, though it took me a while to see how White should answer 32) ... c7. I guess it was because I was hung up on the knight going back to d8, instead of d6.

QueenMe: Proposing subtitle "Orders of Magnus-tude" for this one.

QueenMe: Wow - I was totally boggled by Mr. Kupreichik. I saw the 18. h5+, and the follow-up d5+, but tried to follow with it immediately, instead of the ingenious ...

QueenMe: Easy enough: White black-square bishop will support both his Rook *and* his Queen - - and Black's bishop can take only one of them. So you throw away the rook - and as soon as Black prepares to take the Rook, he realizes what will come next and instead says, "Oh, @##$"... time to ...

|
QueenMe: Seems to me that 21) ... c3, with its attendant mate threat (err... make that a big-material-losing check threat) is more than enough to be have black accepting a draw like he did. Maybe they were teammates in a final, inconsequential round of play.

QueenMe: <chrisowen>: Just curious what your resume might look like (especially in light of the news about the SAT scores that came out today). I have a hunch you can write normally when you really have to.

| | Sep-24-12 P Andreasen vs H Falberg, 1992 
| |
QueenMe: I saw the most "interesting" move for white - 58) xg7 (and arguably perhaps even the "best" move #58), but wrestled with many other moves because I had trouble seeing a clear decisive win for White with it. I agree with ...
