Jul-30-13 Letelier vs G Garcia, 1963
| |
| john2629: on 22..f6 i believe there is 23 Bxf6 and now white threat is to take the knight back but also Qh7+ or Qh8+ and mate next move.
If 23..gxf6 then its mate with 24.Qh8+ Kf7 25.Rh7+ Kg6 26.Rg7+ Kf5 27.Qh5+ Kf4 and 28.g3 mate. |

| |
| john2629: its not only the patterns you recognize.The fun with human brain is that sometimes it sees other options when is working in the so called "puzzle mode" or not.
On a blitz game i would play almost instantly Qh4 without even calculating. The win is almost certain even if you are not ... |
