Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-13-03  bishop: 19.Qf3! leaves Black helpless. White's pieces are all excellently placed,and the threats of d5 and Nf5 are hard to meet. If the position of his Queen and King's Bishop were reversed Black would have half a chance.
Aug-18-05  WMD: But 19...Rd7 or ...Re8, allowing the Queen a retreat square on d8, is fine for Black.

Sep-27-06  forbismarck: Black resigned as there is mate in 2.....1.Ke8 , Re1+...2.Kd7 , Bf5#.
Sep-03-09  WhiteRook48: 21 Nxh6+ overload

  fredthebear: If instead Black interposes with 26...Qe7, it's chekmate in two: 29.Bg6+ Kf8 30.Qg8#.
Nov-22-24  Whitehat1963: Talk about annihilation!
Nov-25-24  Mathematicar: I was impressed by White's 19th move. It's just a subtle little manoeuvre that X-rays Black's king to the Queen, and it makes all combinations pretty obvious - and unstoppable.
