Attacking w/o the Queen

Submitted by benws on Wed, 06/04/2008 at 6:10pm.

It always seems that whenever we lose our queen, our means to attack shut down, and none will succeed. But the truth is, some of the best attacks come with the queens gone and imagination at its highest rate.

Kengis is the bomb. I used to have a book, Play 1...b6!, and there were a few of his games in there.

After 17.Ned3, I would have played Rxd3. The sacrifice is worth it. This makes escape possible. After 17....Rxd3, a4+ is not possible since Nb3 is vulnerable.

If Nxd3, then bxe7 pinning the Knight and the Rook.

exd3 is not possible bcoz Rd1 is vulnerable.

If Rd1xd3 then also Nb3 is vulnerable.
