samvega: I think the knight fork 26..Nb6 may be illusory. After White moves the rook on d5 to any safe square, isn't the Black knight tied to b6 to prevent the skewer Bc4?

samvega: After your proposed 34.Qc3, I think black can play 34...Bg4 immediately, threatening Qh1#. After the game's 34.Qa5, I think the immediate 34...Bg4 fails to 35.Kg1 Bh3 36.Qd8+ Kg7 37.Qg5.

samvega: I think black was worried about 21.b4, with the idea of opening diagonals and files against the king.

samvega: I wonder if white in fact played 22.Rd3.

samvega: I believe the answer to your question is that, with 22.Qe3, white was threatening 23.Nxf5 Qxe3 24.Nxe3, where in the ensuing exchanges white comes out a pawn ahead one way or another. (And white can play 23.Nxf5 against any other queen move by black).

samvega: <ughaibu> <I'm also a one finger typist, however I feel the Chessgames members are worth the effort of occasionally employing a second finger, dont you?> Our gratitude for the effort you put into capitalizing woud be that much greater if you'd ever actually written ...

samvega: <euripides> Oh I dunno, "inciteful" is a clever enough neologism, while the consumption and regurgitation of an entire dictionary -- hardbound cover and all -- is at least a vivid image.

samvega: Another rubber band: B Kreiman vs Adams, 1996 21..Nc4xe5 is almost a mirror image of the usual scenario.

samvega: <anastasia> <yeah well what about 27..qd5 28.rc7 nf5, smarty pants> What's so special about Nf5?? 27..Qd5 28.Rc7 Nf5 29.Qf4, and white pushes the g pawn. If 29..Qxg2?, 30.d5.
