  tpstar: I am skeptical about White's exchange sacrifice here (19. Rxe4!? Nxe4 20. Qxe4) which worked brilliantly after 20 ... Qxa2? 21. Bxh6! because 21 ... gxh6 22. Qg6+ with at least a draw for White. Instead 20 ... Qf5 21. Qc4+ Qd5 ends any Kingside attack. Black should have given the Bc5 an escape square with ... a6 before.

gus77rgd-tpstar0 (Yahoo 5/28/04): 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Ng5!? 0-0 6. c3 h6 7. Nf3 d5 8. ed Nxd5 9. Nbd2 Nf4 10. 0-0 Bb6 11. Ne1 Bf5 12. Ndf3 g5 13. Bxf4 exf4 14. d4 Ne7 15.

Nxe1 Kg7 32. Qc2 Qxc2 33. Nxc2 Kg6 and Black won (0-1).

Jan-17-05  rochade18: White opens very weakly, losing a tempo in a boring symmetrical line. But did black use his extra-tempo well with 8..Be6? I don't think so.
Jan-18-05  Saruman: I like 26.Bxg7+ and 27.Ne6+.

Feb-22-10  bubuli55: 21...Rxf3 is an easy win for Black
Mar-01-10  whiteshark: <bubuli55: <21...Rxf3 is an easy win for Black>> O rly?

After e.g. <21...Rxf3 22.Qxf3 gxh6 23.Qg3+ Kh8 24.Qxc7 Qxb2 25.Qxb7 Qxc2 26.Qxb6>


click for larger view

I won't deny a material surplus for Black ♘ vs ♙♙, but I doubt that it's going to be an easy win.

Mar-17-10  bubuli55: check this out. 21...Rxf3 22.Qxf3 gxh6 23.Qg3+ Kh8 24.Qxc7 Qd5 25.Qxb7 Rb8 26.Qc7 Rg8 27.Qh2 Nd4

would that be easy enough to win?

Jun-02-10  Atking: Is 7.Nd5 h6 8.h4!? possible? The plan c3-a3-b4 Ra2 eventually after g3-f3 Rg2 and Nh3 looks slow but Ng5 is still there for a long.

  FSR: I agree with tpstar that 20...Qf5 would have made White's exchange sac look stupid. I don't like Black's plan with ...d5, though. He should use the f file with 13...Qf7 preparing ...Nh5-f4.
Jul-03-13  Abdel Irada: <tpstar: Black should have given the Bc5 an escape square with ... a6 before.>

Agreed. Preserving that bishop (in this case by 10. ...a6 or even 10. ...a5) is among the themes in this kind of position, although White can still eliminate the bishop with 11. Be3.

Meanwhile, I also agree with <FSR>: Exchanging bishops on e6 is thematic in closed Giuoco positions, but not with the inconsistent idea of ...d5. Black should play for a kingside attack of her own; opening the center only blunts this weapon.
