May-06-05  Sydro: White can play 21.Bxg6 with a win.

have a defense? I don't see one.

I don't see one either at this point. White has prepared a sacrifice on g6 to open up the position regardless of what Black does.

If 21...Nf5 to interfere with the light-squared bishop, then let the rook offer itself 22.Rxg6+ Kh8 (22...hxRg6?? leads to mate in three by three queen checks) 23.Rg7 gives White a big edge.
