jadedpawn: One way to find Rxf2 is by realizing that in the position the f2 pawn is the only thing preventing Qg2#, the second thing to note is that black has two rooks on the same file so a "reloader" theme is possible. So 33... Rxf2 34 Rxf2 removing the pawn and then 34... Rc1+ 35 Rf1 Rc2 ... |

jadedpawn: Thought this was pretty simple after seeing the queen's discovered attack on c2 and blacks other pieces coordinating on that square but i didn't see further than Rxf3 21. gxf3 Nb4 22. Kd1 Qxc2+ 23. Ke1 Qb1+ 24. Bc1 Qxc1+ 25. Ke2 Qxc3 26. Kf1 when black has 2 pieces and 2 pawns for |

jadedpawn: I think it's interesting how f5 becomes weak for black after he posts a piece on d5 overloading the e6 pawn. |

Apr-13-08 B Coraretti vs I Schneider, 2007 
|
jadedpawn: An interesting move for black is 18...Bd7. The piece is untouchable because Bxd7 Qxc2+ Ka1 Qc4! leads to a winning attack for black. Besides containing a trap and attacking two white pieces the move is useful for controling the e8 mating square which in turn frees up blacks rook. ... |

jadedpawn: 30. Rb6! threatning Rxc6! Rxc6 e6! when Rxe6 would be met by Qxe6! fxe6 f7+ and white will be up a rook. |
