Oct-17-23  Brenin: 22 Nxa5+ bxa5 (Qxa5 23 b4 wins the Q, and K moves allow 23 Qxb4) 23 Rb3 traps the Q, giving White Q+P for R+N. Black's K-side pawns are also vulnerable, e.g. if 25 ... Nb6 or Nc5, preventing 26 Qd5+, then 26 Qf7.
Oct-17-23  Brenin: 21 ... Qb4 was a blunder. Instead, 21 ... Nf8, followed by Ne6, c5 and Nd4 or Nf4 would have given Black a good position.
Oct-17-23  King.Arthur.Brazil: B has no escape: 22. Nxa5+ bxa5 23. Rb3 captures the enemy's ♕, you know I like it. On other way, if 22... Qxa5 23. b4! End.

  takebackok: Nothing hanging however, king & queen are on the b file and first move you look at is Nxa5+ and presto it works easy peasy.
Oct-17-23  stacase: 22...bxa5 ??? Did black not see 23.Rb3?
Oct-17-23  mel gibson: Took me under 5 seconds to see that.

22. Nxa5+

(22. Nxa5+ (Nc4xa5+ b6xa5 Ra3-b3 Qb4-b6 Rb3xb6+ c7xb6 b2-b4 a5xb4 Qc3xb4 c6-c5 Qb4-b3 Rh5-h7 Qb3-e6 g6-g5 Nf3-h2 Rd8-c8 ) +5.46/43 428)

score for White +5.46 depth 43.

Oct-17-23  Socrates2: If 22....Q×a5 then 23. b4 and the black Q is trapped.
Oct-17-23  Brenin: <stacase: 22...bxa5 ??? Did black not see 23.Rb3?> What alternative do you suggest? 22 ... Qxa5 loses the Q to 23 b4, with just N+P as compensation, as do any K moves (in fact, Ka7 and Kb8 lose even more expensively to 23 Nc6+ and 24 Nxb4. Having blundered with 21 ... Qb4, Black chose the least damaging continuation on move 22, gaining R+N for the Q.
Oct-17-23  TheaN: Nothing to add to both posts by <Brenin>. Black blundered with the logically looking 21....Qb4? and <22.Nxa5+ +-> decides as either White takes on b4 right away if Black doesn't take, plays b4 if the queen takes and plays Rb3 if the pawn takes. Normally the resulting position would take some time, but Black's pieces are so out of the game it's done almost instantly.

  chrisowen: I pow its eh jufa mucky its Nxa5+ affable its pat doh its axiom juggle its bib its Nxa5+ fob!
Oct-17-23  saturn2: I saw the trap trick
Oct-17-23  landshark: Nxa5 -
It took me 3-4 minutes to see that if the Q recaptures on a5 then we play b4 (rumored to be the strongest move in virtually any position) and the black Q is squished.
