 | | GrahamClayton: Fantastic attacking play by Commons - he realised that the Black pieces were in such a tangle that he would have time to make the rook lift via f3 and h3. |

 | | al wazir: I got the first three moves, but Commons must have seen the whole ten-move combination in advance. |

Apr-07-18 | | Mayankk: I had the 27 Ng8 Ke8 idea although I was still wondering if it is necessary to add another piece to the Attack. The fact that Ke8 seemed the only reasonable reply after it, since Kd7 loses a Rook made this an easy choice. Lots of complex sidelines and I couldn’t think much beyond Qxe6+, where Black has 3 pieces to interpose in between. As it turns out, it was all in the vain as d5 and a firing Bishop was indeed necessary... |

Apr-07-18 | | Whitehat1963: What happens if 27. Qxf5? |
|
Apr-07-18 | | landshark: I found the first move 27.d5, cxd5, and chose 28. Qxf5 with many amazing possibilities but which all seem to still favor White. I wonder how well it would hold up to serious scrutiny - ? |
|
Apr-07-18 | | landshark: One line being 28. Qxf5 Rxh7 29. Qxh7+ Rf7 30. Ng8+ Kf8 31. Qh6+, where Black cannot take the N on g8 because of Qh8#. And that's just the starting point... |

 | | agb2002: White has three pawns for a bishop.
Black threatens Qxb2.
The first idea that came to mind was 27.Qxf5 exf5 28.Re3+ Kxf6 29.d5+ Qxb2 30.Re6#. However, Black can play 29... Kg6. This suggests 27.d5. For example, 27... Qxb2 28.dxe6 Kxe6 29.Re3+ Nxe3 30.Qe4+ Kxf6 31.Rh6+ Kg7 32.Qg6#. I haven't found the time for more. |
