Be7 fall to a cute zwich, Rd7? 26...Re8 doesn't work (I think) because of Nd6, but if 26...Rd7, then 27. Nd6 Rc6.<br />Dunno, just some random ideas before bedtime.<br />Best,<br />-Marc-<br />P.S. How did you do in your game tonight?Marc Widmaiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-20296122796653432792009-05-19T23:10:51.761-04:002009-05-19T23:10:51.761-04:00You may be right about 17 Re4?, but Palliser doesn...You may be right about 17 Re4?, but Palliser doesn't have to show a *win* for black in order to prove his evaluation.<br />This is just blindfold analysis, so take it with a grain of salt. After 17 Re4 Qb6+ 18 Kh1 Qxb2, perhaps white can get away with 19 Bg7!?<br />(a) 19...Nxg7? 20 Qxf6 is right out.<br />(b) 19...Qxc3 20 Bxh8 is problematic but hardly a forced win for black.<br />(c) 19...Rg8?! 20 Bxf6 exf6 21 Qxf6 (big threat) Bd7 22 Rxe6+ Bxe6 23 Qxe6+ Kf8 24 Qf6+ Ke8 25 Re1+ Kd7 26 Re7+ and mates.<br />(d) 19...Rf8!? 20 Bxf8 Qxc3 21 Bh6!? and who knows? (21 Qxh7 Kxf8 22 Rd8+? runs out of gas).<br />I'm sure Rybka will make mincemeat of these variations, but I had fun.an ordinary chessplayernoreply@blogger.com
