This games i a bout 'a tactical question' in black's move 30.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. h3 Nf6 4. Nc3 a6 5. d4 cxd4 6. Nxd4 e6 7. Bd3 Be7 8. O-O O-O 9. Be3 b5 10. a3 Nbd7 11. Nc6 Qe8 12. f4 Nc5 13. Nxe7+ Qxe7 14. Bxc5 dxc5 15. e5 Ne8 16. Ne4 c4 17. Be2 f5 18. Ng5 h6 19. Nf3 Bb7 20. Nd4 Nc7 21. Bf3 Nd5 22. Qd2 Rfd8 23. c3 Kf7 24. a4 b4 25. g4 g6 26. gxf5 gxf5 27. Bh5+ Kg8 28. Kh2 Kh8 29. Rfg1 Qh4 30. Nxe6 bxc3	This move changes it all. White Queen is protecting pawn in f4 and impeding 31 ... Qf2 ##, not an easy question.
	1 comment hercules_isadore (1200) on 28-Feb-09: Queenie should have gone (eventually, not now to Qb1) protects the pawn without being eaten alive. (Sorry this doesn't work because of Qf2 disregard all that junk I said below, I dunno what white could possibly do. Excellent game!)


31. bxc3 Nxc3	White Queen still cannot leave its position. The postion is lost.
	2 comments hercules_isadore (1200) on 28-Feb-09: Here is where she should have gone well...32. Nxd8 Rxd8 33. Qb1. Right? ... No that's no good. Here it is: 32. Nxd8 Rxd8 33. Qg2 Qxf4 34. Qg3. There we go that should work. right? Black is forced to trade queens, and the war will rage on. blake84120 (1200) on 01-Mar-09: Herc: if 33. Qg2, black simply plays 33. ... Bxg2 and it's game over from there.


32. Nxd8 Rxd8 33. Qxd8+ Qxd8 34. Rgd1	Otherwise 34. ... Qh4 wins the bishop beacuse of 35. ...Qf2



34... Nxd1 35. Rxd1 Qh4	The same as before. Just a tactical question.
	2 comments hercules_isadore (1200) on 28-Feb-09: Excellent play by black. Not too much I can think of will stave him off for long. What about the above strategy? blake84120 (1200) on 01-Mar-09: See above.
