|
sackman: "Beating the retreat " An impressive positional queen sacrifice. The way that white's queen is marched backwards d6 to f4 to f3 to e2 to e1 to b1 is very entertaining. |

sackman: A puzzle indeed. I guessed the same first moves as <drollere> but then got stuck i see why now. SF recommends 19 Kb1 (!!!) with a tiny edge to white bet no-one picked that... |

|
sackman: I found 16 d4 but there didn't seem to be a forcing line. Bonus puzzle can you find a sensible series of moves leading to the position at move 15?? What is blacks rook doing on h7? |
