Peter Reeve: It seems to be generally agreed that 37...Qe8 is forced, everything else leading to a swift forced mate. Please bear with me (I have no engine or even a board, and little time) but how does 37...Kh7 lead to a quick forced mate? That would be my move. |

Peter Reeve: White responds to 19. ...bxc3 with 20.Qxc3+ which wins the bishop next move and leaves white a pawn up and black with a pressured king. |
