Dec-29-05  HannibalSchlecter: Kaboom! Don't mess with Judit!
Dec-29-05  Boomie: Black left his queen hanging on moves 20 and 21. If white takes on move 20, the black lead in development is decisive.

20. Bxf7+ Kxf7

(20...Rxf7 21. Rxd8+ Rxd8 22. h3 Bh5 23. Nc3 Rxf4 24. Nge2 Rf3 25. Qg1 Rd2 (2.04/13))

21. Rxd8 Rfxd8 22. Nc3 Bf5 23. Nf3 Nd3 24. cxd3

(24. e6+ Kg8 25. Qe3 Nb4 26. Nd4 Rxd4 27. Qxd4 Bxc2+ 28. Kc1 (-2.22/12))

24...Bb4 25. Qe4

(25. Ng5+ Kg8 26. Nge4 Rxd3 (-3.24/13))

25...Bxe4 26. Nxe4 Rxd3 (-1.72/14)

White fares better after taking the queen on move 21.

21. Bxf7+ Kxf7 22. Rxd8 Rfxd8 23. Nf3

(23. Ka1 Na6 24. c3 Nb4 25. cxb4 Bxb4 (-3.18/13))

23...Bxc2+ 24. Ka1 Rd1+ 25. Qxd1 Bxd1 26. Rxd1 (1.09/14)

Dec-30-05  HannibalSchlecter: It's strange that the queen is not snatched up for the minor piece and rook. Just about every club player would take the queen. Is it because white's pieces would not be in harmony? Very strange.
