Jan-08-05  azaris: Fans of forcing sacrifices might do well to note 13. ♖xf7!!.

Christiansen gives 14...♔g8 15. ♖f1 g6 16. ♗xg6 ♘xe5 17. ♖xf8+ ♔xf8 18. ♘d4! ♔e7 19. ♕g5+ ♔d7 20. ♘xe6 as best.

Apr-02-24  Messiah: Hah! Seen it in less than 10 seconds! I might enroll a Justin master class, skyrocketing to the 2200 range.
Apr-02-24  mel gibson: I saw that.

Stockfish 16 declines the Rook and says:

13. Rxf7

(13. Rxf7 (1.Rxf7 Nc6 2.Rf1 Ncxe5 3.Qh5+ g6 4.Qh3 0-0-0 5.Be4 b4 6.Bxb7+ Qxb7 7.Ne2 Bd6 8.Ned4 Rdf8 9.Qxe6 Re8 10.Qxd6 Nc4 11.Nc5 Nxd6 12.Nxb7 Kxb7 13.Bf4 Ne4 14.Nb3 Ndf6 ) +2.66/37 89)

score for White +2.66 depth 37.

If I force SF to accept the Rook:

13. .. Kxf7
14. Qh5+

(14. Qh5+ (1.Qh5+ Kg8 2.Rf1 g6 3.Qg4 Nxe5 4.Qxe6+ Nf7 5.Ne4 Qe7 6.Nf6+ Kg7 7.Qh3 Nd7 8.Nxd7 Ng5 9.Bd4+ Kg8 10.Qg4 h5 11.Nf6+ Qxf6 12.Rxf6 hxg4 13.Rxg6+ Kf7 14.Bxh8 Be7 +4.32/48 300)

score for White +4.32 depth 48.

  al wazir: I think black should have played 16...Bg7. After 17. Rf1+ (17. Qh7 Qxe5 18. Bd4 Nf8), 17...Nf6 18. Rxf6+ Bxf6 19. Qxf6+ Kg8 20. Bh6 Qf7 seems to hold.

After <16...Bg7 17.Rf1+ Nf6 18.Rxf6+ Bxf6>, 19.exf6 (Threatening 20.Qg7+.) seems decisive.

Apr-03-24  sfm: Black to move, after
10.-,d6
11.e5,dxe
12.fxe

Where to put the knight? SF says equal after 12.-,Nd5

But Black chose the 'otherwise good' 12.-,Nd7??

Dragoljub Velimirovic was the wrong man to give such an invitation to.

Apr-03-24  SchwartzSpringer: I'm missing the win after 14...Kg8 15. Rf1 Nxe5. e.g. 16. Qe8 Qe7
Apr-03-24  FM David H. Levin: <<SchwartzSpringer>: I'm missing the win after 14...Kg8 15. Rf1 Nxe5. e.g. 16. Qe8 Qe7>

After 14...Kg8 15.Rf1 Nxe5, White has 16.Rxf8+ Kxf8 17.Bc5+ Qxc5+ 18.Nxc5 Nxd3 19.Nxb7 Nxb2 20.Nd6 Ke7 21.Nce4, with a winning attack.
