The combination is truly amazing... and been played during the game. Can your favorite engine find it? (Be patient!)

Did you analyse the alternative later in the game, to 21...Kf8, 21...e3 (suggested by Shredder9 and others)? This seems to be a big improvement which may raise some doubt about White's 19th move.

Hmmm... I did not analyzed carefully enough I guess. I thought black was lost after this but I now realize black isn't yet. Did you find a better move for white on move 19th?

Dificult for me, Marc. All engines that I tryed likes Nxh5, but the
evaluation don´t increase. So I tryed to analyse with
computer help, but in almos all variants I go for an endgame
in wich whites seemed better, but very dificult.

Did you analyse the alternative later in the game, to 21...Kf8, 21...e3 (suggested by Shredder9 and others)? This seems to be a big improvement which may raise some doubt about White's 19th move.

Hmmm... I did not analyzed carefully enough I guess. I thought black was lost after this but I now realize black isn't yet. Did you find a better move for white on move 19th?

Please, the game.

Thanks,

Thanks, Marc, but my Windows is blocking the game and don´t alow that

I will search the game in another place.

Hi Paolo, sorry for not providing the PGN (meanwhile, Marc has posted it). But I think maybe it isn't an ActiveX problem, but a Java problem. I think the chessgames.com games pages use MyChessViewer by default, which requires Java to be installed.

Anyway, they offer also a "view PGN" link from where it should be possible to copy & paste ASCII, like this:

http://www.chessgames.com/perl/nph-ches ... id=1100857

For me, with Java installed and customized internet security configurations, chessgames.com is a major and great chess resource. Hopefully you can adjust your configuration - if you like and if you don't think it's too risky - to use it, too. The registration for the basic features is free.
