The other thing I looked at near the end was 31. Qf7+ forking the king and rook. He does get your bishop, but you're up the exchange. However since you're so close to mating at that point and his rook isn't doing anything, why bother?<BR/><BR/>Beware the Zombies!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262508907395023327.post-12636467592378348012008-09-22T09:58:00.000-07:002008-09-22T09:58:00.000-07:00knightfork: thanks!
