Dec-22-03		patzer2: If 18...Kf6, then 19. Qxf4# If 18...Kg8, then 19. Qd5+ Kh8 20. Nf7+ Kg8 21. Nh6+ Kh1 22. Qg8+ Rxg8 23. Nf7#

Dec-22-03		Dick Brain: The 17. Bxf7+ jump right out at you. Maybe Black's misconception was that he was only analyzing 18. Qd5+ rather than the much stronger followup 18. Ng5+

Dec-22-03		patzer2: An interesting response to 3. f3 is 3...e5 as in Kramnik vs Leko, 1998 which resulted in a win for Black in a hard fought and double-edged Super GM game.

Dec-22-03		BeautyInChess: What if black doesn't take the bishop? 18 ... ♔h8 looks like the most promising move.

Dec-22-03		Lawrence: BeautyInChess, that's move 17, not 18, right? After 18.Bxe8 White is so far ahead that the only decent thing for Black to do is resign.

Dec-22-03		pilot: I can't say the 17.Bxf7+ hit me first. It's probrably because I'm more of a safer positional player and saw 17.Qd5 And after that I'm fairly certain Black's a deadman too. Infact I rather thought that was the solution and if anyone wants to analyze it, Qd5 might not let Black last as long as Patzer2's 18 ..Kg8 line. But then again I haven't bothered looking through everything yet.

Dec-22-03		rochade123: 22.Qg8+ Kxg8 now what's left for white?

Dec-22-03		paulalbert: rochade123: K cannot take because N on h6 would give check. This is Philidor Legacy ( that is smothered mate ) idea. Key idea is Nh6 move involves double check including the discovered check. The subsequent Q sac forces the smothering piece capture which makes going back again for Nf7ch a mate.

Dec-22-03		CapablancaRules: Pilot, after 17.Qd5 Re6, I can not see a good way to White keep the attack

Dec-22-03		AlexBabich: BeautyInChess, if Black does not take the bishop then bishop takes the pawn and the rook. That is enouth to win the game by material advantage.

Dec-22-03		AlexBabich: BeautyInChess, how do you get to type those cute chess pieces in your message??

Dec-22-03		patzer2: <AlexBabich> Put the single letter K,Q,B,N,R between brackets {}.

Dec-22-03		patzer2: <ChessGames.com> Thanks for the link. Did not realize you could bracket an entire variation to allow others to see the staunton chess piece symbols.

Dec-23-03		Dick Brain: <pilot> 17. ♕d5 forces one to figure out the counterplay with Black's ♕ and his ♗ on g7.

Mar-15-07		CitricAcid13: Beautiful combination, I always can see the smothered mate in problems and the continuation up to it, it just never comes up while I'm playing chess, even playing at 1500 on yahoo. My ♘ never gets to the right spot :)

Sep-20-09		whiteshark: I think 15...e5 is following the Golden Chess Rule: <Always open your position quickly especially if the remaining bunch is undeveloped.> Tarrasch, if I'm not mistaken. :D

Sep-20-09		randomsac: Leading on to Philidor's mate. It's kind of funny, that black completely ignored the bishop's first move, and then resigned after the sac. Most of the time, the piece I just moved is being scrutinized, but this time black overlooked it. Odd.

Sep-20-09		RandomVisitor: The above analysis shows that 15...Bxc3 16.bxc3 Nc5 is possibly an improvement for black.

Sep-20-09		WhiteRook48: or ...Kf6 Nd5+
