| blitzermat: 45.Qb4 and 45. Qcd4 both seem like they win for white. How dicey it is to play a queen down like that, and still win! |

| |
| blitzermat: spirit--Qxc6 leads to a draw after Qc1+
Kh2 Qf4+ perpetual check... and if g3, Qxf2+ with another perpetual check. |

Jan-19-07 J Standen vs G Matchen, 2000
| |
| blitzermat: The N can be protected, but
if Re1, Qf4+ Kg1 BxN RxB RxR QxR Qxd4+ picks up 2 more pawns for a 3 passed pawn endgame advantage with Queens on the board |

| |
| blitzermat: The exchange sac on move 39 is instructive for endgame. Staunton
did not play very soundly, either. |

| |
| blitzermat: you guys are all missing 24...Rxg3 check!
(after 24.Rb4)
which allows black to squiggle out a piece ahead. 24...Qa5? is way too slow
and allows 25. Rb7, surviving. |
