Wouldn't white then have:
28.Qg7+ Ke7
29.Rxe6+ Kxe6
30.Bg4+ Ke7
31.Rd7+ winning
or 30...f5 31.Nc5# |

What about 26...Re8 27.Kh6 Kf8 28.Rg4, with (I think) a much simpler win? I don't see a real defense to 29.Rg8+ Kxg8 30.Qg7#; e.g. 28...Bxg4 29.Qg7# |

Yes, that's probably a more elegant way to do things! |
|
Nov-06-07 | | Samagonka: Like I said before, mind over matter once you are in check. It really takes bravery to turn weakness into strength. My motto is: don't panic! Think simple. Move convinced! Both on the board and in real life circumstances! |

31. Re4+ wins even easier:
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Qe7
33. Rxe7 Rxe7
34. Qd4+ Kc7
35. Qxc4
31. ... Kd6
32. Qd4#
31. ... Kd8
32. Qf6+ Re7
33. Qh8+ Re8
34. Qxe8# |

Dec-13-08 | | WhiteRook48: Why 26...Bd5??? Totally ignores the threat of Kh6 and Qg7#. |
|
Dec-22-08 | | WhiteRook48: favorite King walk game |
|
Jan-31-09 | | WhiteRook48: he beat the goose |
|
May-15-09 | | Kinghunt: Whiterook, he doesn't have any better option. The only move that even delays the mate is 26... Qe7, but that is still no defense. |
|
May-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: well, 26...Qe7... is a forced queen win |
|
Oct-25-10 | | sevenseaman: Fantastic! Its like the K and the Q decided their army wasn't good enough and two of them together went to conquer a distant land on their own, leading by example. Ironically Black Q checks only helped the White king in the right direction. |

May-25-16 | | waustad: Considering the puns possible between the name Weenink and an opening named after Wien, I'm happy that they just came up with something else. I suspect that they merely hadn't a clue how the city is pronounced by those who live there. |

White's pieces have been playing a Sicilian. |

So if we move pc6 to e6 everyone would be happy. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 18...dxe4 was a weak move. It was necessary to play 18...Qa3+ 19.Kd1 Nd7 with very complex and quite unclear play. |
|
May-25-16 | | AvidChessMan: <Samagonka: .. My motto is: don't panic!> Is this on the cover of the Hitchhikers Guide to Chess? It seems that black was unprepared for the white king's daring trek. |

 | | kevin86: White's king marches up to assist his queen in mating the opposition. |
|
May-25-16
 | | AylerKupp: <AvidChessMan> Yes, to boldly go where no king has gone before. |
