That queen sack was very unsound to me.Without looking with engine,but i see this line - 19 Qb3 and after black next move white will play Qb5 check forsing the exhange of queens.So 19. Qb3 Nxg2(Bxg2) 20.Qb5 check Qxb5 21.axb5 and after any black move white is a piece down and with bad game to play... but still better than losing Q for a Knight,and with much less pressure to deal with.Ofc. black can prevent the check by playing c6 but i doubt he would have played that.Any opinions?

[kingscrusher]

@Znaiko Yeah.. err you say "Queen sac".. I think it was more like "Queen loss" :)

[NotThat3]

Why is the queen lost? What happens after 19. Qd2 ?

[jplanejazz]

Excellent game KC. I really enjoyed it. I love how excited you get as well!

[zegovernata]

brilliant game, KC, but you had 38. Rxg6! which seems to be much stronger than 38. Bxg6+. (i haven't engine-checked this but all the lines lose for black). for example: 38. Rxg6 Rxe4 39. Rh6#. OR 38. Rxg6 Kh8 Rxg8+ Qxg8 Rxg8+ Kxg8 Bxf4. OR 38. Rxg6 Rxg6 Bxg6+ Kh8 Bxf7 Rxf7. or 38. Rxg6 Qxg6 Bxg6+ Rxg6 Rxg6 Kxg6 Bxf4. i don't see any other viable options for black, so it seems at the very least white has a winning endgame.

great game of chess and after the Q loss........splendid!!!......

[EClein2]

Actually it looks like a lost position either way. In that case KC's queen sac might have been even more brilliant than we give him credit for.

[EClein2]

@TheChessPlayer93 You're right, that would give white a fighting chance. I still might've preferred to take this line over the game continuation if I was black rather forcing an endgame with a good bishop against a passive knight. Obviously that's easy for me to say in hindsight, it is only blitz and I'm not in the same league as these guys!

[TheChessPlayer93]

@EClein2 I think if 39...Rg4, then 40. Rh6+ Kg7 or Kg8 followed by 41. hxg4. After that, white has two rooks for the queen, plus he threatens 42. gxh5 with a discovered check by the rook on g2, which should be enough to keep white in the game.

[yeah0boy0yeah]

what a game

[numbcore]

I have no idea why you had to lose the Queen here..

[dilbertfungoing]
