Nov-02-09  LoveThatJoker: The position after 19...Qf4 would make for a good Tuesday puzzle.

By this I mean, 20. ?

Nov-04-09  LoveThatJoker: Hi WhiteRook48.

I checked the ramifications of 22...b6 23. Qe4 out for you using Fritz 11.

(When you told me about this, I saw 23...d5 myself - just so you know that I didn't totally rely on the CPU).

20. e6 Qxa2 21. Qb4 b6 {Fritz 11: 22. Bd5 (22. Qe4 d5 23. Rxd5 (23. Nxd5 Qa1+ 24. Kd2 Qxb2 25. Qc4) 23... c6 24. Rxd8+ Rxd8 25. c3 Be8) 22... c5 23. Bxa2 cxb4 24. exf7 hxg3 25. Rhg1 a5 26. Rxg3 Kb7 27. Bd5+ Ka6 28. Ng4 Rhf8 29. Rgd3 b5 30. Re3 Kb6 31. Re7 Rc8 32. Rb7+ Kc5 33. Bf3 4.93/21} 1-0

Nov-05-09  LoveThatJoker: PS. I think we both got our enumerations wrong.

Of course, we're both refering to 21...b6.

Seeing as how 22...b6 is skipping a move ahead erroneously.
