Jul-30-15  FLAWLESSWIN64: W wins by 22 Rh4+ Kg8 (if 22.. Qxh4 23 Ng6+ & Nxh4 wins Black Queen) 23 Bh7+ Kh8 24 Bg8!+ Kxg8 25 Qh7# what a combination !
Jul-30-15  morfishine: <FLAWLESSWIN64> Yes, a wonderful combination! I wouldn't bet on Wager being able to extricate himself from this position :)

24.Bg8+?? Qxh4 is slightly in Black's favor. Instead 24.Ng6+ forces Black to resign

  FSR: <thegoodanarchist> Yes.
Aug-10-15  PhilFeeley: <devere> Why should 24. Bg8+ get 2 question marks, since black will lose his queen after 24...Qxh4 25. Ng6+. Black gets rook and bishop for queen, but white still attacks.
