grabapawnski: <Ragh:>
I liked 1) ... Ba7 threatening Bb8
thinking if 2)Qd6 QxQ 3)RxQ Rf1+ 4)Kh2 Bb8 5)g3 BxR wins easily, but 2) Qc3 looks awkward I think 1)... Bd4 threatening Be5.
It is immune from the rook, it has the same threats as before but prevents 2)Qc3 |

grabapawnski: 21) Bh7+ Kh8 22) Bg6 ...
Patzer2 says: "if 22...Rd5? 23)Rxc8 wins (as noted by <dzechiel>)" <dzechiel> prefers 22)...Re8 Much better is: if 22)... Rd5?? or Re8?? 23)Nxf7+ Kg8? 24)Bh7+ KxN (only move) 25)Qg6 mate. To avoid these mates black must play 23)....QxN when |

grabapawnski: Does 16)... Bg4 not win the Q?
17)♘f7 ♕c7 18)♘e5+ ♖x♘ looks OK for black

grabapawnski: Move 6 given for black is wrong.
6) ... c5 was never played, the move D. Chrichton played when demolishing my uncle was much better 6) ... f5. This threatens to win the N with h6, as it now has no escape squares. That is why uncle Bob played 7) h3. His idea was to meet 7) ... ... |

Sep-15-07 M Podgaets vs G Zaichik, 1986

grabapawnski: After 25...Rxf1+ 26. Nxf1 Bxd3
the immediate 27 e6 threat Qg7 mate
is met by 27... Qg5 when
28 exf7+ Kxf7 29 Nxd6+ fork seems insufficient.
I prefer 27 Qc3 Be2!?
but now not 28 Qg3+ Bg4 29 h3 Rxe5
30 hxg4 h4 with a fight
instead 27 Qc3 Be2!? 28 exd6
