| derekchessgames: derekchessgames: 1) How about 18.Nxc8? Now the N at c8 threatens the Black Q. If 18..Nxf3 19.Nxb6 Nxg5 20.Nxa8, white is up a Rook. If 18..Rxc8 19.Nxe5 Nxe5 20.Qxe5 also wins a minor piece. 2) For 18.Nxe5, would a better Black response be 18..Qxb2? 19.Rc1 Nxe5 20.Qxe5 losing |

| derekchessgames: <Checker2>: 17.g4 Bxb4 As a rejoinder, what about:
18.hxg4 Qxh1
19.Kf2 Qh3 (only escape square; if 19...Qxa1 20.Qh6 and mate to follow soon) 20.Qf4 (aiming for 21.Bf1 to trap the Q). How would Black continue?
20...Bxd4+
21.cxd4 Nxd4
22.Nxd4 Qxd3
23.Kg2 c5 |

| derekchessgames: <Batya>: 22.Bf6 Nd6 and now what?
How abt 23.Qg4 instead of <Qg5> threatens Qxg7# and Black Rook at d7. If 23... g6 24. exd6 winning a piece. If 24... Nxf6 25. Nxf6+ winning Black Rook at d7. |

| |
| derekchessgames: Why not 32...Rxe4?
If 33 fxe4 then 33...Rd1+ forcing 34 Bxd1 otherwise White Queen will be lost. Then 34...Qf1+, 35 Kh2 Qg2#. Am I missing something? |

Aug-22-07 S Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984

| derekchessgames: Is there a Black defence for 20. d5, threatening 21. dxe6, 22. exf7+, and 23. Bh6#? If 20...cxd5, 21.Bb5+ Kf8 22.Bh6+ Kg8 23.Qg3+ then Black has to lose materials to avoid mate. If 21...Nd7, then 22.Qf7# If 20...exd5, 21.Re1 Qa5 22.Kf1 Ba6 23.Bxf6 Bxc4+ 24.Nxc4 dxc4 25. ... |

| |
| derekchessgames: <MostlyAverageJoe>..Wow! You're so quick. After more analysis, I found my feeble defence was met by 24. Qh5+. White does not have to check at the last rank, but go for Qh5+ immediately. I wanted to kill my message, but you already replied. You must be monitoring the ... |
