Spudds: Oh, I see... 27)...h5 saves black in that line.

| |
|
Spudds: The pawn push also ends this game, 30.h3#?

May-19-05 Adams vs Topalov, 2005
| |
|
Spudds: Not sure why Adams didn't take on E5, would have defended his e4 pawn as well.

Spudds: I think Nf6 wins fairly quickly too and is more asthetically pleasing to me, for whatever reason: if 41..hxf6 42.Qh4+ etc
if 41..kg8 42.Ne7+..kh8 43.rg8+..rxg8 44.Qxf6+ etc

Spudds: 33.rf7 wins here also, right?

| |
|
Spudds: Nothing I hate more than misreading the puzzle and mistaking draw for win, the solution is always so unsatisfying when I finally break down and look.

| |
|
Spudds: Ahh, king blocks the bishop from protecting the promotion square. Very good.

| | Jun-16-04 Hecht vs G Forintos, 1974
| |
|
Spudds: It was a triple threat really. Unguarded bishop, Fork, or mate. Tough choice. H6 would have covered two of these but still leaves the fork.

| |
|
Spudds: I was curious how black can respond to 24 R1a6 with the intent to push the queen away from the bishop with the rooks and the two pawns. Thanks.
