|
NeddieO: Honza Cervenka: <Isn't 15./Qxh4 mate?> It isn't mate. White can play 16.Bh3. That's what I wasn't seeing. I kept looking over & over for a defender of the h4 square. thanks for pointing that out. |

NeddieO: How about this for thought... 17.Qh5 g6 18.Qg5 Nxb2 19.Nf5 Q? 20.Ra-b1 Nxc4 19. obviously forces the Black Q to evade the attack though w/ no real good line to do anything other than just that. The a-Rook then pressures the b2N to Nxc4. It is a short lived line I know, but it seems ... |

|
NeddieO: I did not find 24.Rf8+...I used 24.Qxh8+ Bxh8 25.Raf1. I don't see Black having any helpful defense after this. Maybe Q down to either e7 or f8. But none the less, Rf8+ is by far the nail in the coffin. |
