Kangaroo: 16. f6! (threatening 17. fxe7 and 17. Bxh7) would have been a better way for White. |

|
Kangaroo: <<fispok>: After 23...Qxe5, 24.Bxc6 would have picked up the exchange, and 24.Bf4 would have been a much better defense than e3.>
Consider <23... Qxe5 24. Bxc6 Bxb3> followed by <25... Qxc5+> and <26 ... Qxc6>. |
