Severian596: Oh, and in this particular case white threatens more than just the possibility of winning a rook. The two white rooks would force checkmate in two if the night moves to b5. 31. ... Nb5
32. Rxc8+ Rd8
33. Rxd8++

Severian596: <AgentRgent's "that's not Chess, that's Twitch!"> Granted, and noted. It's done a lot of harm to my patience during untimed games, and helped my tactics somewhat. Overall blitz has done more harm than good, but I played an 8 min. + 5 sec. game the other day that I'm proud ...

Severian596: <Geronimo>
Your idea of a Queen sacrifice, then, would be dropping the piece, or giving her up for reasons unknown. That sounds more like a (??) move than a (!!) move. If you like queen sacs that go (??)...well...you're a dying breed ;)

Severian596: <ChessTeacher>
Thanks for being a good sport about my corrections, teacher. I read my replies and they sound kinda cold! I meant them in only the warmest regards. Man but I love king's gambit accepted games. Queen pawn games *thumbs down*

Severian596: <Ed Caruthers> Hi Ed, you missed 36. Nxb2 in your analysis. The bishop is overloaded and white wins the b pawn. Additionally black cannot advance the c pawn or it will block the bishop's defense of a7. To capitalize on this I can imagine white's N traveling to a4, then c3 ...
