Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-18-14  Karpova: Annotations (condensed):

4.b4 <Counterpart to Rosentreters Sicilian 1.e4 c5 2.b4. In this game a novelty by Nagel. If it is sufficient against best play is questionable, but in any case it is applicability is good in informal games. Black let's himself get cramped here totally, so the move proves successful.>

13...Nxg4 <?>

20.Bf8 <! Black resigns. The loss is unavoidable, e. g.

I) 20...Qh5 21.Qxh5 gxh5 22.Bh6 (threatening mate in 2) 22...Bd7 23.Rf7 Rad8 (or 23...Nxe5 24.Rg7+ Kh8 25.Bxd7 and wins) 24.Rg7+ Kh8 25.Rff7 and wins.

II) 20...Qg5 21.Rf7 and wins, e. g. 21...Qxd2 22.Rg7+ Kh8 23.Rg8+ and mate in 2.>

Sep-25-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: Nice knight sacrifice by a guy whose name means "Nail". There's pun potential in that. :)
