| Apr-18-14 | | Rookiepawn: I'm just trying to figure out whether the Q sac gives Black a chance of getting away with it. At first glance I would say 22... g5 strikes me as a little bit too bold. Pushing all your castle's pawns forwards when the enemy's Bishops pair is aiming at it always seems a risky move. I think Black overestimates attacking chances on the King's side, opening diagonals and files when he should be blocking them and try to steer the game to the final. |

| Feb-19-22 | | Brenin: I tried 22 Rxh4+ and 22 Ng6+, and they didn't seem to go anywhere useful for White, so instead I tried 22 Ne4, e.g. 22 ... gxh4 23 Nxf6 (Bxf6+ instead?) Rxf6 (h3+ first?) 24 Rh1, with promising compensation, as Black's B on a7 is effectively back in the box, and has only self-sacrifice with Bxe3 fxe3 Rxe3 as a useful contribution. This is not convincing, but OTB I'd give it a try, as White's next moves seem easier to find than Black's. |

| Feb-19-22 | | raymondhow: I wanted to play 23.Rxh5+ and at first the engine seemed to agree, so figured I had at least half credit. But upon deeper analysis, it changed its "mind" and went with the game move 23.Ne4. Guess that means no cheddar for me.. |

 | | Breunor: Got the first move but played Nxf6 instead of Bxf6, but the computer thinks that is ok maybe even better. Great game!! |
|
| Feb-19-22 | | Lloyd Gross: I tried 23 Nxh5 |
|
| Feb-19-22 | | Socrates2: Very insructive game. Just shows you anything can happen when the King is exposed. |

| Feb-19-22 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I saw this possibility: 23. ♖xh5+ ♘xh5 24. ♖h1 ♔g7 25. ♘e4+ ♔h6 26. ♖xh5# . it seems that white has some winning check-mate combinations on this line. The King's (me, folks) refutation for the game move is: 24...♖xf6 25. ♘xf6 h3+ 26. ♔g1 ♕e7 27. ♘xe8 ♕xe8, and Black is still alive... I'll not extend calculations, since I'm still ill today. (I deleted previous post due to my bad English, sorry me). |

| Feb-19-22 | | agb2002: White has a bishop, a knight and a pawn for the queen. Black threatens gxh4 and gxf4.
The obvious 23.Ng6+ Kh7 24.Nxf8+ recovers material but Black has the double threat gxh4 and Nxd5. The bishop pair aims at the black king and the black knight protects h5. These details suggest 23.Ne4 but I haven't found anything decisive. Another option is 23.Rxh5+ Nxh5 24.Ne4+ Kh7 (or 24... Re5) 25.Nxh5 but the black king probably can find some safety on g6. I don't know. I'd probably try 23.Ne4 hoping for 23... gxh4 24.Bxf6+ Kh7 (24... Rxf6 25.Nxf6 recovers two exchanges) 25.Rh1 and if 25... Rxe4, to try to break the mating net, then 26.Bxe4+ Kg8 27.Bd5+ at least recovers more material or repeat moves. |
