1stboard: Am I missing some thing in Black resigning ??
If black plays 23 Qc5 then what move does white play on move 24 ?? His ( white ) queen is enprise and has to defend against the black threat of Qxc2 and the bank rank mate. |

Black walks into a crusher with white's 11th move. Chernev does not show the rest of game but says Black has seen enough ..... |
