SketchQuark: If 40. Nf2 then white is toast after Qg6.

SketchQuark: He probably was thinking his bishop was still on e6.

| |
|
SketchQuark: He probably meant to play Nb5 but his mouse slipped or something.

SketchQuark: I'm sure she that joke never gets old to her. (btw she apparently has an account and posts here.)

SketchQuark: Meh, my line is slightly less efficient than the game continuation, but still mating according to computer analysis. Though perhaps its worth noting that my line doesnt really require the dark-squared bishop, should this pattern arise with one less piece.

SketchQuark: <FSR> Tone and context is important. =P

SketchQuark: I'm not sure in what continuation white loses both rooks. I think white resigned just because after Kg2, Ne1+ wins the queen.

SketchQuark: According to engine analysis, 30. ... Rxd3 was apparently an equalizing exchange sacrifice. It completely obliterates the structure of white's queen side, and black's queen gets to go on a rampage with white's exposed king as a tactical vulnerability.

SketchQuark: Black's bishop on e7 was never taken because black was always threatening mate.

|
SketchQuark: Unless I am mistaken, the game score suggests that black did not resign ^_^.
