| Oct-08-06 | | syracrophy: 8.d5 would have continued as in the game: C Mansfield vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1928.
I saw no positive idea of the "combination" 12.Bxd7?, hunting the material, but White just recovered the exchange at the cost of a piece. A dumb idea. 15...Bc5!! can't be considered as a sacrifice because it's only "returning the piece" but indeed, I love to call it a "sacrifice" :-), opening the d-file with the "in-between" move 16...Be6!! <17.Qxe6 Qd1#> The idea of 15...Bc5, was to play the pinning move 17...Qd5! <The white queen can't protect the d1-square and the bishop at the same time from another square that isn't the h5-square> This pin of the queen reminds me the game: Carlos Torre vs Lasker, 1925. The idea of 19.Nxe4 was that after 19...Qxe4? 20.Bxe7 as the white bishop is no more pinned. 25...Ng6! <26.Qxg6 Qd1+! 27.Rxd1 Rxd1#> 26...Qxg2+! <Lovely way to remove both queens from the board with advantage for Black because of the extra piece. 27.Kxg2 Nf4+> My conclusion to this game is that White was only hunting the material from the beginning of the game. 12.Bxd7? its a prove of it. 9.Rxe4? was a wrong exchange sacrifice because it obtained no advantage of any kind. |

After 16. Na3, how about h6? 17. Bxh6 gxh6 18. Qf6+ Kg8 19. dxc5 Qf8. After that black still has a slight advantage. |

17. Bf6 is simply met with Qf8, no? |

| | al wazir: <hellstrafer, syracrophy>: Thanks. If 16. Na3 h6 17. Bh4 g5 18. Qf6+, then 18...Kh7 (not 18...Kg8 19. Bxg5 hxg5 20. Qxg5+ K moves 21. Qxc5, with two connected outside passed ♙s for the ♗). I guess black gets an advantage in all lines. |

 | | kevin86: It looked like black was really on the run. White's attack was short circuited by black's own threat against the white back row. Then the game was ended on a brilliant queen sac followed by a fork regaining the queen in post haste. |

| Dec-31-11 | | Sem: 15. ... Bc5 was new at that time. |
|
| May-08-15 | | SpiritedReposte: Great defense. Whites attack proves to be premature as his back rank is vulnerable. |
