| |
| BlackSheep: I was looking at the puzzle position from a move earlier (by accident) and I think 48.Rxe6 is just one way to go the forcing combination 48.Qh8+ Bxh8 49.Rxh8+ Kg7 50.Bh6+ Kxg6 51.Bc2 Ne4 52.Bxe4+ Kf6 53.g5+ Ke7 56.Bf8# seemed like a prettier (albeit longer , but easier to ... |

May-07-13 J Negro vs Manuelli, 1983
| |
| BlackSheep: I agre with <john2629> in a game I just would have played Qh4 the lazy mans calculation but as I'm in "puzzle mode" as it were I didnt even consider it my brain instantly saw Qxg6 is a forced mate and when you can force the issue there's nothing left to do . The trouble ... |
