  WannaBe: How did white not see the triple fork coming? 31. exf5 is better?
Aug-29-05  Shams: no, exf5 falls into a trap. look again.

  WannaBe: <Shams: no, exf5 falls into a trap...> Err.. you mean Bd5+ right? then Rxf6. :-)

So can white stop the knight move at all?

Aug-29-05  Shams: I think white is just dead lost, being down a good piece for the exchange and with nothing to attack. He can try to boomerang the discovered attack on the rook with 31.Rxf4 gxf4 32.Rxf4 Bxf4 (white threatened Rh4) 33.Qxa6 but then ...Bd7 34.Qf6 Be6 holds everything. black will simply win white's b-pawn and then queen his own.

I think white should have started playing for the draw much earlier. he was forced to go down a piece after his pointless queen sortie, which was all the more baffling since he'd decided to grab the offered exchange and should have hunkered down then and there. with the weak d4 and d3 squares and bad bishop I don't think he ever had a win.

since I'm talking over my head I'll go all the way and pick on 11.fxe5, a move which seems designed to save the b-pawn. But I think white can pitch the b-pawn and force black to win the exchange, with the immediate 11.Ne2 Nxf3 12.Bxf3 exf4 13.gxf4 Bxb2 14.d4!? with a very complicated position.

Aug-29-05  Judge Ling: Looks like Black missed 28 ... Bh3+ followed by 29 ... Rxf6, thus winning White's Queen.
Aug-30-05  Shams: <Judge Ling> 28...Bh3+ 29.Nxh3 Rxf6 30.Rxf6 is not black's best line. The text is stronger, winning a piece back.
