  OhioChessFan: Pretty good pun.
Nov-07-21  CaliWest: Why could white not play 23. Qxc4 ?
Nov-07-21  Ibrahimoglu: CaliWest,
23. Qxc4 Rfc8 24. Qe2(d3) Rxc2
Nov-07-21  Brenin: <Ibrahimoglu>, <CallWest>: 23 Qxc4 should be answered with 23 ... Rac8 and 24 ... Rxc2, not 23 ... Rfc8 24 Qxf7+ Kh1 25 Qxg7 mate.
Nov-07-21  ndg2: Most impressive: black must have seen most of the complications (maybe including the knight sac later on move 30) already with 19..Nxd5. At least the complication that 22. Qxc4 isn't possible due to 22..Rac8 (->Rxc2) must have been seen by black already on move 19.
