fzoozle: <It looks like everyone missed the puzzle as 19.Qxh6 is a winner even after 19...Bb8 protecting against Rh3+. The right response is 19.Qxh6 Bb8 20. Bxe6!! and either Qxe6, Rxe6 or fxe6 followed by 21.Rh3 with mate to follow. If 21...Qxh3 the rook on h1 will mate.> How does ... |

fzoozle: I looked at Qf1 early and worked out a whole bunch of white responses, but i missed Nxe5+. Luckily black still wins easily, but had it happened in a real game i would have gotten very worried for a couple of seconds. |

|
fzoozle: 26. ...Ka8 loses immediately to 27. Qxa6+.
26. ...Kb7 is met by 27. Re7, pinning the black queen. Black still ends up trading queen for rook and knight. |

|
fzoozle: Black threatens mate with 36...Bb7+ 37. Kh2 Qf2#
White must lose material to prevent mate.
Qf7 is even better. Qf8 can be met with Nf5 at least. Qf7 threatens 36...Qb7+ 37 Kh2 Qg2# and forces white into an even worse position having to exchange queen for rook. |
