  alexrawlings: The score should say checkmate. There are a lot of decisions I don't understand by both players... there must be tactic I'm not seeing.

For instance, why doesn't white play 19 Nxc6 and fork the two black rooks?

Mar-11-08  MaxxLange: well, 19. Nxc6 Rxb6 20. Nxd8 Be7 traps the second Knight
Mar-11-08  MaxxLange: that is: 19...Rb7 and 20...Rc7, and the Knight can't get out.

Still, White could have played 19. Nxc6 and 20. N6e5, maybe

Mar-12-08  MaxxLange: Ignore second post! Or never mind....
