 | | al wazir: I thought that both 25. Nxe6+ and 25. Nh7 were winning, so I was half right. In the game line, after 25. Nh7 Rxh7 26. Rxh7+ Kxh7 27. h1+ Kg8 28. Qh3 Bh4, I would have played 29. g5. If now 29...f5 , then 30. Qxh4 Kf7 31. h7+ Ke8 32. Qxg6+ Kd7 33. Rh7+ Kc8 34. Qxe6+. 1-0 But instead black would have played 29...Kg7 30. Qxh4 Rh8 31. Rxh4 Rxh4 32. Qxh4 Qh8 33. Qg4 Ne7 34. Bg3 Nf5, which is no better than even. |

 | | drollere: too much for me! although i saw the desirability of getting the N off g5 ... |

 | | Dionysius1: After 29 ♗h6 ♖e8 is there anything better than 30 ♕xh4 ? Because that doesn't seem enough. |

Jun-13-21 | | mel gibson: I thought 25.Nxe6+ which is a losing move.

Jun-13-21 | | 1g1yy: Since I'm at work and didn't want to take all day to go through the lines you guys have posted up, is 29 g5 not decisive? What am I missing? I would have played that instead of the bishop move to the h file, but I'm certainly a weaker player than Nigel Short. |
|
Jun-13-21 | | QueenMe: I had it up to 29, where I played g5 (trapping the bishop). I don't see a way out for black, except to play f5 (or 6) to give the King a flight path back toward e1 while white is gobbling the bishop.

Can anybody find a problem w/ 29. g5? I would certainly scare the hell out of me if I were black. |

 | | agb2002: White has the bishop pair for a bishop and a knight. Black threatens to simplify the position with Rxh1. The open h-file suggests 25.Nh7 Rxh7 (25... Re8 26.Nxf6 Bxf6 -due to Bh6+ - 27.exf6+ winning: 27... Kxf6 28.Bg5+; 27... Qxf6 28.Bg5; 27... Kg8 28.Rxh8+ Kxh8 29.Qh6+ Kg8 30.Qg7#) 26.Bh6+ to pile up the heavy pieces. For example, 26... Kg8 27.Rh3 Re8 28.Rah1 Bf8 29.Bg5 Rxh3 30.Bxd8 Rxe3 31.Bf6 and mate in two. |

 | | agb2002: I overlooked 27... Bh4, which seems to spoil that plan according to Droidfish. Even worse: it is a lazy post compared to that of 2010. |
|
Jun-13-21 | | Brenin: <1g1yy>, <QueenMe>: 29 g5 allows 29 ... Kg7, and after 30 Qxh4 Rh8 White's attack is over and the position is more or less equal. |
