@DereksDiscourse In this case if white don't sac the knight black will win with superior forces on the kingside, as there is no play on the queenside. The a4 bishop is stuck, making the rook stuck as well. A few moves back when white did not commit the LS bishop on a4, the only file open is the a file and there is no way to funnel pieces through correctly. Best that can be done is rook and queen on the a file, which is useless against the 4-5 pieces black has there.

Thanks for the games! I love the thinking-out-loud style, very informative, makes me see how I can look at the game. I liked how you anticipated the guy's knight sac.

[biernico]

he saw your king and went into the attack with king still in center . that goes against the secret fide handbook

at 4.50 W played 14.Bb2 but 14. Qg4! had B in trouble I think. This hits g7 and if 14....Rg8 defending Was there Qside counterplay?

Why did white need sac the knight on move 19? or else what? (not being sarcastic, I am very much trying to learn the French)
