18. Qxf6
leaving d6 Bishop trapped for the taking...Nxd6 or Nxe7 scot free. |

Jul-12-12 I Theodorovich vs H Ridout, 1976
| |
| hrobert5: I too was going for a sac through the e3 position; could see Ng3 was deadly, but couldn't get the details worked out. I'll give myself 1/2 point. :( |

Jul-11-12 A Karpatchev vs R Oney, 2006
| |
| hrobert5: Zatrikion: 10. Nb5 and that's it. Double threat from white (Nc7+ and R is lost and secondly black Queen threatened) I agree, that's the line I took. It gives me the option of Nc7 OR Nd6; Black may double cross us and decline the (eventual) Queen exchange. And, if Black does indeed ... |

Jul-09-12 Karpov vs Geller, 1983
| |

32. Qxf7+ Rxf7
33. Rxf7# |

Jul-07-12 Marshall vs W E Napier, 1898
| |
| hrobert5: Yeah, I missed the pawn at c3 covering for Qd2+; should have known there was no other option but the underpromote! |

Jul-06-12 Russia - China (2012)
| |
| hrobert5: I'm really impressed with Jakovenko. Two wins three draws no losses. Am I wrong or is he the only one in the tournament without a loss? |

Jul-06-12 Karpov vs Timman, 1986
| |
| hrobert5: Yeah, I got d8=n+ to avoid perpetual check, then Rb7 this morning then went to work; too tired to hammer out all the details. |

Jul-05-12 A Reshko vs O Kaminsky, 1972
| |
| hrobert5: Looking at SuperPatzer77's "final position" board, Black at best can hold out four more moves: K-g7, 64. Q-a7+ K-g8, 65. Q-f7+ K-h8 66. g7+ K-h7 67. g8=Q mate |
