mmousez: After 32. Bxe5+, why can't Black hide his King with 32. ... Kh8, instead of going into the mating line?

mmousez: Surely, the pun cannot be a pun on "Ready, One, Two, Three"... weird stuff.

mmousez: Wow, Black position totally collapses after 28. Ne5+. Even a move like 28. ... Ke8 runs into 29. Qc7, targetting Rb8 and Nh7. If 29. ... Ra8, then 30. Qxh7 and White threatens Rg8. Don't see any defence for Black at all.

mmousez: <kellmano: <mmousez> I have a picture of me and Aronian from the London Chess Classic this year. I don't think chess players are bothered at being approached as it probably doesn't happen to them enough to be annoying.> Thank you, it's very encouraging to hear this. I ...

mmousez: Incredible that Black is rated 2500+ and plays such a game. Or is this blitz?

mmousez: Phony Benoni: Thanks for explaining the positional nuances of the position! Certainly helps me to understand what is going on better. Just curious, after:
14. e5 Qxe5
15. h4 Nf7
16. Bxh7+ Kh8
17. Nd3 Qh5
Black seems ok, threatening h4 and h7, and it seems he can hold.

mmousez: 5hrsolver: Ah thanks! That's what I missed. After 23. Rxb7 Nd3+, White gets mated by Re1.

mmousez: It seems Black can put up greater resistance with this line: 14. Nb5 hxg6
15. Qxg6+ Qg7
16. Qxg7+ Kxg7
17. Bxf6+ Kxf6!
18. Nc7 Na6
19. Nxa8 Bd7
20. Nb6 axb6
Ok, Black is the exchange down and his pawns are doubled. But the centre mass looks strong so perhaps Black can ...

mmousez: What if after 25. Qh5+, Black plays K back to g8 (instead of the text move g6)? How would White follow up? Re1-e3-g3?
