 | | tpstar: Black thought 10 ... Bc6 would buy time, then 11. cxd6! worked beautifully. Brilliant miniature. |
|
Feb-06-21 | | Checker2: Extraordinary that at move 11, white has no fewer than 6 checks to evaluate. |
|

 | | al wazir: After 11...cxd6 black loses an exchange or a couple of ♙s. But that's better than getting mated. |
|
Feb-06-21 | | Abdunnaser: Fantastic |
|
Feb-06-21 | | Brenin: As <al wazir> notes, Black survives, but with material loss, after 11... cxd6 12 Bxc6+ bxc6 13 Qe6+ and 14 Nxd6, or 13 Nd6+ Qxd6 14 Qb7, forking the R on a8 and the B on g7. Playing 11 ... Bxg2 was either greed or insanity. |

Feb-06-21 | | Walter Glattke: 11.cxd6 always wins, 13.-Kxc7 14.Bf4+ Be5 15.Bxe5# or 13.-Kc5 14.b4+ Kxb4 15.Qc4+ Ka5 16.Qb5# or 12.-Kf8 13.Ne6+ Kd8 14.Nxd8 or 11.-Bxb5 12.Qxb5+ Qd7 13.Qxb7 Rd8 14.Bc6 cxd6 15.Bxd7+ or 12.-c6 13.Qxb7 Be5 14.Bxc6+ Kf8 15.Qxa8 or 11.-cxd6 12.Bxc6+ bxc6 13.Qe6+ Qe7 14.Nc7+ Kf8 15.Qxe7+ Kxe7 16.Nxa8 Kd7 N for R 15.Qxc6 Rc8 16.Ne6+ Kf7 17.Qxc8 Qxe6 R+2P for N |

Feb-06-21 | | CaliWest: Was there some other point to 8...d6 than just to try and develop the bishop? I am just an intermediate player and even my chess instincts looked at that move with massive red flashing alarm sirens. Although, granted, 9. c5 is not a move I would have even remotely foreseen... not that my chess understanding even knows what the hell that move was about, either. |

 | | agb2002: Black threatens Bxg2.
The white queen can go to e6. This suggests 11.cxd6 to control e7: A) 11... Bxg2 12.Nxc7+
A.1) 12... Kd7 13.Qe6+ Kc6 14.d7+ Kc5 (14... Kc7 15.Bf4+ Be5 16.Bxe5#) 15.b4+ Kxb4 16.Qc4+ Ka5 17.Qb5#. A.2) 12... Kf8 13.Ne6+ Ke8 14.Nxd8 wins decisive material (14... Bxh1 15.Qf7+ Kxd8 16.Qxg7). B) 11... Bxb5 12.Qxb5+
B.1) 12... Kf8 13.Qxb7 Rc8 14.Qxa7 wins two pawns at least. B.2) 12... Qd7 13.Qxb7 wins decisive material.
B.3) 12... c6 13.Qxb7 Be5 14.Bxc6+ wins decisive material. C) 11... cxd6 12.Bxc6+ bxc6 13.Qe6+ Qe7 (13... Ne7 14.Nd6+ Kf8? 15.Qf7#) 14.Nc7+ Kd(f)8 15.Qxe7+ and 16.Nxa8 wins the exchange. D) 11... Rc8 12.Bxc6+ bxc6 13.Nxc7+ Rxc7 (13... Kd7 14.Qe6#; 13... Kf8 14.Ne6#) 14.dxc7 wins decisive material. |
|
Feb-06-21
 | | agb2002: I overlooked A.3) 12... Qxc7, but 13.dxc7 Bxh1 14.f3, with the double threat Qxb7 and Qe6+, wins decisive material. |

Feb-06-21 | | Brenin: <CallWest>: The engine recommends 8 ... d6 (though not 7 ... Nd4): the B on c8 has to be developed somehow, and d5 and b6 are not options with White's B on g2 dominating the long diagonal. White's odd-looking 9 c5 is a clever way of adding to the N's pressure on d6 and c7: the P can't be taken, since 9 ... dxc5 allows 10 Bf4, regaining at least the P on c7, and putting Black in deep trouble. Black could have played 9 ... a6 rather than 9 ... Bd7, e.g. 10 Nxd4 dxc5 (not Bxd4 11 Qa4+ and 12 Qxd4). |
