@Gluonsghost - White isn't forced to take on e7, though. I was under the impression that the draw went 13. Qe2 Qe6 14. Qf3 Qf5 15. Qe2 Qf5 and a draw due to repetition?

 

Why not (13.Qe2 Qe6 13.Qf3) Qg6?

This has a perfect score for Black in practice.

I assume that Nxe7 allows white to get back into the game somewhat but I also don't have enough time to analyze that move to reinforce my statement

I'm impressed you made that effort. Seriously.thumbup.png

@yetanotheraoc - honestly, it wouldn't have surprised me too much if it followed another game exactly. After 11...fxe3 (which is actually in the master games database so a master actually fell for it!) my opponent is basically dead but played logical moves to avoid checkmate.

But no, move 13 is new and has never been played in the databases I've looked at. I could be wrong, but I'm not going to waste any more time on it.

Edit: I was surprised to find that *my* game wasn't in the database, but upon looking into it further, it says that unrated games aren't indexed. Sad.
