Agreed... wtf is this supposed to be
Its a good game. Too bad you guys cant understand it...
Autti
silly game
Computer analysis will back up the reasoning behind my moves.
wyh2010
that's a checkmate there
comet2311
great game for black! it seems that white is always on the trigger... but then... white is trying to get some material (2 pawns) advantage, meanwhile the black trap is prepared perfectly. very nice game. i took me a moment to see the great moves clearly...
Bergmami
not checkmate. whites next move is H4. although whites chances from there are slim cause the night on the other side of board isnt really doing muchh... better then giving up though.
analyzed after h4. white loses the Q. chances are zilch :) ...
h4 - Qg1 ; Kh3 Qh1 ; Kg4 f4!
transpo
A much better move after 2...Nf6 is 3.Nf3. Also, after 3...Nxd5 better is 4.c4. This move establishes a head duo in the center, and causes Black to waste tempi with his N at d5.

It's rather obvious

No. Imagine if white starts with Qa8+, and only then h4. It's better to see what computer thinks about the case, but i hope white wins from here.
Theres a mate that follows even if Qa8+. Try and find it for yourself
Qa8+ Kb7
h4 Qg1+
Kh3 Qh1+
Kg4 h5+
Kf3 Qf1 with obvious unavoidable mate threats.

? whats so special?

what about 29. Qf3 allowing for the queen exchange and subsequent return of material.
29...Qxf3 30. gxf3, Bxa7 31. c5
whites 3 connected passed pawns on the queenside should be sufficient to at the very least draw
what about 29. Qf3 allowing for the queen exchange and subsequent return of material. 29...Qxf3 30. gxf3, Bxa7 31. Kg3
whites 3 connected passed pawns on the queenside should be sufficient, no?
KILL COUNTERPLAY. A concept that comes later in a chessplayer's development. I was waiting to see if in their arguing back and forth one or more of them would see it (the Socratic method).
Azbfiya, Be5+ Solves that problem straight away! :P

I think it's a cute finish.
In the final position, I would think the continuation would be 30.Qa8+ Kg7 31.h4 h5 and mate to follow.
