  An Englishman: Good Evening: Enterprising Knight sacrifice in the Long Whip that falls short thanks in part to the Rook maneuver from 22-26 which just barely holds the line. Still, White had a good-looking position for a while; did he miss an improvement?
Jul-05-20  Mendrys: 6. Nxf7 is a bold Knight sacrifice so early in the game. It's really wishful thinking though as white can't drum up the resources to carry out a successful attack partly due to blacks king side pawns I think. Rather than being a liability their advancement inhibits white's attack.

11...Kf8 was a weaker move, better would have been to develop with 11...Nf6 with something like 12. Bxf4 Nxf4 13. gxf4 Nb4 14. Qe2 Bxf4 as a possible line to follow.

Black also missed an opportunity to force the exchange of queens which would have killed any thoughts of an attack when he played 16...Qf6 instead of 16...Qb6!

  Fusilli: My intuition asked for 23.Re4 with the idea of sacking the rook on g4 and fishing for perpetual (maybe Nc7 or Nxd6 will be necessary to either forced the queen away from defense of a perpetual or getting the knight to the king side). I asked Stockfish and it says 23.Re4 leads to 0.00.

But Stockfish also likes 23.Qc3+ as played, and then against 24...Rf5, either 25.Qd3 or 25.Qc3+ leads to 0.00 again. White played 25.c4, which seems to forfeit opportunities and give Black an important tempo.

Then, Black must have done something wrong, because White again misses the draw with the blunderous 41.Rxh5+, which should make anyone cringe. 41.Ne5 seems to lead to the draw again.

In sum, White played suicidal from move 6 on, and at every attempt to regret and save himself, he refused and insisted on suicide until he succeeded!
