charleshiggie 10-Nov-20, 11:27	30. Rxh7? 30. Rxh7? Not a legal move, Simon loses a point....
5imon 10-Nov-20, 11:35	That was a typo 29. Qh4 must be winning eg 29...Rh8 30.Rxf7+ Kg8 and then 31. Rh7
archduke_piccolo 11-Nov-20, 03:25	Alternative to 28.Qg3... Turns out my original thoughts were pretty useless. But 29.Rf6 wouldn't have been too bad.
charleshiggie 14-Nov-20, 08:57	28. Rf6 28. Rf6 is winning, (2 points). 29. Qh4 was played. Black replied Rh8. White did play 30. Rxf7 + and after Kg8 31 Rh7 forced black's resignation. Many thanks to everyone who joined in this, I hope you all enjoyed it!
penelope80 14-Nov-20, 10:15	Many thanks!It was very intereting,even if I did not participate much
5imon 14-Nov-20, 11:11	Thanks for doing that Charles.
charleshiggie 25-Nov-20, 04:18	New game This was a game I played recently. The opening position was reached after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3 a6 5. Ba4 b5 6. Bb3 d6 7. O-O Bg4 8. Bd5 Nge7 Find white's best move.
ace-of-aces 25-Nov-20, 08:23	9.B x f7 is white's best move.
archduke_piccolo 25-Nov-20, 13:03	I'm thinking... ... the same thing: 9.Bxf7ch Kxf7 10.Qxg4 ... ... a frequently encountered tactical motif, though the setting is unusual. There is no tactic based on 9.Ng5. That merely loses a minor piece: 9.Ng5?? Bxd1 10.Bxf7ch Kf8 (...Kd6; Be6ch Ke8) 11.Ne6ch Kxf7 12.Nxd8ch R(either)xd8 13.Rxd1 ... And White is left a piece short for just a single pawn.
charleshiggie 25-Nov-20, 13:17	Yes indeed 9. Bxf7+ Kd7 10. h3 Bxf3 11. Qxf3 Kc8 12. b4 Bb6 13. a4 Kb7 14. Qe2 Rf8 15. Bd5 Nxd5 16. exd5 Ne7 17. axb5 axb5 18. Rxa8 Qxa8 19. Qxb5 Qa2 20. Na3 Qxd5 21. Qxd5+ Nxd5 22. Nc4 Ba7 23. g3 Nf6 24. d3 e4 25. d4 Nd5 26. Bd2 Kc6 27. Ne3 Nf6 28. Ra1 Bb6 29. Nf5 g6 30. Bh6 Re8 31. Ne3 Nd5 What did I play now?
5imon 25-Nov-20, 13:21	32. b5+ and the horsey will be undefended.
charleshiggie 25-Nov-20, 14:25	Quite so. In the interests of completeness I give the rest of the game 32. b5+ Kxb5 33. Nxd5 Kc4 34. Nxb6+ cxb6 35. Ra3 b5 36. Bf4 d5 37. Kf1 Kd3 38. Ke1 Rc8 39. Bd2 Rc4 40. Kd1 Rc7 41. c4+ Kxd4 42. cxb5 Rb7 43. b6 Kc4 44. Be3 d4 45. Ra4+ Kb3 46. Rxd4 Rxb6 47. Rd3+ exd3 48. Bxb6 Kc3 49. Bd8 h5 50. Bf6+ Kc4 51. Kd2 Kd5 52. Kxd3 Ke6 53. Bg5 Kf5 54. f4 Ke6 55. Kd4 Kd6 56. g4 Ke6 57. gxh5 gxh5 58. Ke4 Kf7 59. Ke5 Kg6 60. Ke6 Kg7 61. Be7 Kh6 62. f5 Kg7 63. f6+
archduke_piccolo 26-Nov-20, 00:41	Last diagram... ... When I looked at that last diagram, I found 32.b5ch in just a few seconds - the sort of thing that might show up in a 'Blitz Attack' position. Then I wasted several minutes 'looking for a better'.
archduke_piccolo 26-Nov-20, 00:42	I think... ... Chess and I are gradually heading towards a 'parting of the ways...'
charleshiggie 26-Nov-20, 01:16	Please no! Please - I really hope you don't give up chess, especially Gameknot!
