There is only one defence and that is 32__Nd3! and then if 33.Be4 then __Nf2+ 34.QxN Kg8! is better for black.Bill Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206808014093631762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29868932.post-27991784940294792252011-06-23T10:36:23.311+09:302011-06-23T10:36:23.311+09:30I dont think there is a winning move for White in ...I dont think there is a winning move for White in this position Bill!Box Hill membernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29868932.post-24490204616099150452011-06-19T15:41:37.487+09:302011-06-19T15:41:37.487+09:30hi tony,

QxN Rae8 34.

For example 32...Rae8 33.Be4 and I don't think Black can defend h7, f8 and e5 all at once.<br /><br />IMO this kind of non-forcing move can be very difficult to see OTB but it's impressive that Bill 'saw' it blind later on!<br /><br />Tony Dowden Launceston, TASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
