  Sally Simpson: One of these unfortunate cases where a player resigned thinking they were lost. White has nothing better than a perpetual.

Final postion.

The Bxh6 sac is well known is this variation. See;

C H Alexander vs O'Kelly, 1954

This is where Alexander took the perpetual and not Rxe7 - the only difference being Rb8 and b3 has not been played.

So back here from the thread game.

I'm wondering if Black saw a line after Qxe7 where the White Queen backtracks with checks Qg5+ Qh4+ Qg3+ and picks up the b8 Rook missing that at the end Black has dxc3.

  Sally Simpson: Backward Queen Checks! One of the most famous is Morphy vs J Meunier, 1860

Morphy takes the pawn with a check then checks with Qg5+ Qh4+ and Qg3+ with the Queen now on g3 it covers e1 preventing Black from playing Qe1+ and allows the Rook lift Rc4-Rh4.
