 | | prn: I don't understand tayer's comment. So what if Black plays 11...gxf2+ ? White doesn't have to just roll over play dead. 12.Qxf2 seems fine to me. (Obviously, I'm not a GM.) For that matter, 12.Kxf2 seems possible too, even though it give up on castling. After simply taking the pawn on f2, white effectively has Q&R for a minor piece with no clear compensation for Black, whose remaining pieces are all still sitting on their original squares. |

 | | whiteshark: <prn> you should read it as <10 ... gxf2+! 11 Ke2 Qxd2 12 Kxd2 fxg1:Q> than it fits. ;)

| | prn: OH! I see now. Yes, 10...gxf2 makes a lot more sense than 11...gxf2. Thanks, whiteshark! |

 | | Infohunter: I've never seen this game before, but the winning idea is somewhat reminiscent of Schlechter vs J Perlis, 1911, colors reversed. |
|
| Sep-07-12 | | newzild: A cute win. The decisive mistake was 7. Bxf6. White should have played N3e2, with only an edge for Black. |

| Sep-07-12 | | hugogomes: prn?? After 11... gxf2+, 12.Kxf2 Qxd2 loses the queen. 12. Ke2 is the line he gave, Qxd2, Kxd2, and fxg1=Q. The line you suggest, Qxf2 is impossible because the queen is pinned. |

 | | kevin86: I've seen this one from a long time ago. Black sacrifices queen to gain a new one with interest. |
