This position takes place after 16.Ne6 in Denisas (1831) - Juliov (1715) in the Steinitz Team Tournament. This was our first victory in the tourney. White's immediate "threat" is the Q-R fork, and he apparently seeks to cut off the protection of black's Knight, thinking that after 16...Bxe6 17.Bxe6 fxe6? 18.Qxg4 ... and he has created an target by isolating black's e-pawn. Or, if fortune smiles upon white, black may play 16...fxe6? 17.Qxg4 Qe8 18.Be6+ (possibly not even white's best line) Bxe6 19.Qxe6+ Qf7 and black has no compensation for the loss of the pawn. However, after 16....Bxe6 17.Bxe6 ... Juliov shocks his Lithuanian opponent with 17...Nf6! and white cannot protect both Queen and Bishop. White resigned immediately.

ReplyDelete17....Nf6 18.Nd8 Nh5 19. Nc6 and What? 19... Bf6 20. Rac1 black is not better or I dont see anything.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am very exciting with this post of one of my games, thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteAlexey 18. Nd8 is not possible because the Knigth is gone!
Yes, indeed, black must first play 16...Bxe6 removing white's Knight from the board to avoid the deadly Nxd8. But after 16...Bxe6 17.Bxe6 the white knight is gone, as Julio points out.

Ok.) Sorry. Missed commentary with 16.. Be6.
ReplyDeleteIn the internet there are a lot of chess viewers, you can "build " it in the blog.
Alexey, I will try to find better software than Chessup. I was also worried because the software that allows one to move the pieces can use so much memory that it harms some computers and I did not want to cause trouble for anyone viewing our blog. But I will look into it.
