saturn2: I controlled it again. In chess omly one piece on a different square can change everything. Maybe there is somebody who wants to test us. You have to be diffident in life and chess.

saturn2: <Jim> I liked that puzzle maybe because I solved it.
I observed after Re5 the black queen only has the square d6 so it is 21 Qa3+ denying the black queen the last square with tempo and after 22 Re5 black only has 22..QxR 23 dxQ

saturn2: <Jim> nice of you giving me that tuesday feeling. At least black loses the bishop on e7 for nothing.

saturn2: 40..Rf6 or 40..Rf8 lose.
40..Rf6 41 BxR gxB 42 BxN QxB 43 QxQ KxQ 44 e7 and neither king nor bishop can control the square e8 40..Rf8 the rook will fall. Black has to give the queen in order to prevent e8Q

saturn2: < 21 Nxf5 Nxf5 22. Rxf5 Bxf5 23. Rxf5 gxf5 24. Nf6+ Qxf6 25. Qxf6> <I saw 23...Qd4+ 24. Rf2> I think the refiutation is rather 23..RxNe4.
