  keypusher: 12.Qh5+ Qg6 13.Qxc5 Qxg2 14.Bg5.

It's strange, I just played a game where the same threat of mate on e7 was decisive, except in my case the bishop was on c5 and the queen was on g5.

<1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. e5 d5 6. Bb5 Ne4 7. Nxd4 Bc5 8. Be3 Bd7 9. Bxc6 bxc6 10. Nd2 Qe7 11. Nxe4 dxe4 12. e6 fxe6 13. Nxc6 Qd6 14. Qh5+ g6 15. Qe5 Rg8 16. Bxc5 Qxc6 17. Qg5 Rg7 18. Qf6 Qxc5 19. Qxg7> and White won.

Apr-09-15  ChemMac: <keypusher> 12.Qh5+ Qg6 13.Qxc5 Qxg2 14.Qh5+ g8 15.Qf3 wins simply, but 14.Bg5 Kf7 15.Qe7+ Kg6 16.Be3 does also. Surely any player could be expected to see either line. Why didn't Irena Krush play this? Very strange....
Apr-09-15  Travis Bickle: Kh7 Rh8#... Very Nice!
Apr-09-15  Marmot PFL: Krush said it didn't matter to her as she thought white's game was strategically winning anyway.
Apr-09-15  Marmot PFL: Also what white played was the theoretical line A Reshko vs Sokolsky, 1957

Oh please. I'm sure she wouldn't mind missing a mate in two as long as she had the two bishops.
