sambo: Doesn't 10...Nh6 solve everything for black?

sambo: <12... f4 13.Qh7+ Kxg5 14.h4+ Kg4 15.f3+ Kg3 16.Ne2# and even white king helps to checkmate.> Actually, black still has a move after this, so it isn't checkmate; but after 16...Kxg2 17. Rg1+ Kh2 18. Bxhf4+ Rxf4 19. Qxg7, black is finally toast.

sambo: I saw 20 Ng6+ Ke8 21. Bg8 without the queen sac. It still looks good to me; is this a valid solution? After any move except Nf5 the continuation is 22. Bxf7+ Nxf7 23. Qxf7#; if 21...Nf5 then 22. Qc5 wins, threatening 23. Qf8# or if the knight moves back 23. Bxf7+ Nxf7 24. Qf8#

sambo: What happens after 26...Qb8 27. Qxf5 Kd7 28. Nc7+ Kd8 29. e6 Bc6 (assuming that's best play for white)?

|
sambo: Not 35. Nxe6 because 35...d4 is a discovered check.

| |
|
sambo: It's pretty incredible that there is a forced mate after move seven. The position doesn't look that threatening for black.

| |
|
sambo: Nifty endgame by Schubert. Happy 114th, buddy!

| |
|
sambo: Almost seems like it transposes to a Muzio gambit
|
|
| | Apr-09-08 C Brenner vs L Levy, 1975
| |
|
sambo: 18 white to play could be a feasible Wednesday or Thursday problem. Seeing that 19...g6 doesn't save black isn't that obvious.
