Feb-25-04  Whitehat1963: Nice Game.
Nov-02-04  Bobak Zahmat: Good calculation made. From 18.Nxf7 the game is over for black.
Nov-02-04  clocked: I don't think things are so clear. Black can try 18...Nxg5 19.Nxg5 Bd6

should white play 20.Rxf6!? or something else?

  Chessical: <18...Nxg5> 19.Nxg5 Bd6 20.Rxf6 gxf6 21.Nxh7 Qg7 22.Rf1, would be a very good practical try.

Equally sharp would be: <18...b4!?> 19.Bxf6 (better than 19.Nh6+ gxh6 20.Bxf6 Bxf6 21.Rxf6 bxc3 22.bxc3 Ng5

I prefer white's chances in both lines.
