@donaldplus1 the problem for black in that position after rook takes knight and the bishop takes the rook is that qe8 needs to be protected against AND Bf5 needs to be protected against. the only move that does this is Nd7, and then after Kxf1, white is two pawns up and winning easily.

an example of trying to save the bishop that fails is Bb5, Bf5, g6, Bxg6 and then the h7 problems combined with e6 issues are going to cause black's resignation shortly

on the 7 min of the vid. you say theres nothing black can do ?? what about taking the knight with rook ??? this should take away all threats.. considering white is already down a rook .. the only advantage would be the pawn up for white. What do you thin k..? BTW LOVE your videos .. please Reply i need to know what you think .. or email me at donaldplus1@yahoo.com .. thanks

It's a question I always asked myself: Is there anything crushing after white castled if b4 by black, kicking the defender of e4 and trying to take this pawn?

Great commentary. This was poetry in motion. I bet this type of game will be studied 50-75 years from now, and people will still be learning new things.
