| |
| joeaverage: <tefjilves> I also thought 22. f3 and I even saw the Qxe3 check. Unfortunately, after 23. Kh8, black can play Qxe4 since the bishop no longer protects the knight. It doesn't look too good for white. It's tough to figure out a weekend puzzle without a physical board and ... |

| |

| |
| joeaverage: <Granite> I thought the same thing about Bxf6 leading to mate, but the black queen protects the pawn at h7 after black plays gxf6 (taking back the bishop), so mate isn't being threatened (with Qxh7). |
