| PositionalTactician: To Jimfromprovidence:
I totally agree with your line, but I disagree with your opinion that White's brilliancy is busted. In the other lines, White can win 2 pieces for the rook and obtain better position (for example after Qf4 Kg7 try Bxf6 followed by Qxg4) Of course ... |

Nov-05-11 H Xu vs R Gao, 2011

| PositionalTactician: @Jimfromprovidence:
I don't think that it is a tough win ahead. True, it does not win on the spot, but 2 pawns ia 2 pawns (After Rh5 I think Rxf7 is bad due to Qh2+), and should lead to a smooth win for Black. They are also highly-rated players, so it should be an easy ... |

| PositionalTactician: <spreadsanity: OK, so black plays 19...Rh7, and now white has to worry about his pawn on e2. There's no quick win in this line, shame you missed it as a defence for black.> Ok, so White is a piece up and you are not happy with it. And White does not have a pawn on ... |

| PositionalTactician: <YouRang><The material is even, but by golly, I've got better pawn structure! 1-0> <Okay, I suppose it's up to me to prove my claim with deep computer analysis...> I guess the program you are playing against is too weak... After 25.Bb4, I play 25...Bf5 ... |

sleepyirv: <MAJ> Are you sure? 34.Kg1 and what's the continuation? In this situation, White is protecting the f1 square so White won't have the mate on it. 34...Nf3+ 35.Rxf3 Qe1+ 36.Rf1 and White is fine. Reply:
I guess 36...Qxg3 and ...Qh2 forces mate? |

"patzer2: For today's Saturday puzzle solution, the decoy and deflection sham sacrifice 25. g4! decisively undermines Black's overworked Bishop. Here's a look at some of Black's options after 25. g4! If 25... Bxg4, then 26. Ng5 .
If 25... Be6, then 26. Rab1 .
