I faced this sort of position on both sides many times over the years- that sacrifice at h7 has to be well thought out.<br /><br />10.Bh7? Kh7!<br /><br />Even with Kh8, black isn't quite dead, but hurting: [10. ...Kh8? 11.Bd3! Bg4! and black is holding on, but has now lost a pawn and must still defend the king with white's king bishop still on the board. Continuing:<br /><br />11.Ng5<br /><br />Ng5+ is the move I imagine black expected to come in the game, and feared. White has other moves here, but how could they really be much better? I don't see it. Continuing:<br /><br />11. ....Kg8!<br /><br />Here, Kg6 is probably playable, but gives white more for his sacrifice than he/she deserved. I would imagine white's best line might be 12.f4 threatening f5+, but I don't see a real clear cut edge for white after black plays a move like 12. ...Qe8 and 13. ...f5 after 13.g4. It is complicated, however, and it is possible I am missing the win for white in that line- 11. ...Kg8 just seems much clearer to me:<br /><br />12.Qh5<br /><br />Or [12.Qd3 g6! and now what for white?]. Continuing:<br /><br />12. ....Bf5! and now black's king looks very safe to me.Yancey Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427042729449397357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118012.post-53456841595582441832013-12-28T11:45:16.676-06:002013-12-28T11:45:16.676-06:00Maybe black had an urgent appointment.
i must be...Maybe black had an urgent appointment. <br /><br />i must be missing something. <br /><br />At the very least, after 10... Kh8 11. Bd3 g6 true black is an ugly pawn down but certainly not lost yet. Why give up?<br /><br />But 10... Kxh7 seems OK. On 11. Ng5+ Kg8 12. Qh5 Bf5 seems to hold or 12. Qd3 g6 seems fine. Also, after 11. Ng5+ i can't find the knockout after even the dangerous-looking 11... Kg6.<br /><br />Maybe this is like that Byrne-Fischer game. <br /><br />Somebody help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442116242539883885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118012.post-29164364405020439902013-12-28T10:28:05.724-06:002013-12-28T10:28:05.724-06:001.
