Nf5 doesn't deserve any exclamation points, 19...Be4 refutes your play.

be4 loses!

after qd7+, kf8, Qd8+, rxd8, rxd8#

That would be true if black didn't have a bishop on f6.

 that's neat work if you can hop your knight from c3 to d6 after Be4. 18 Nf5 is a mistake.

Wouldn't call 19... Be4 a refutation.  White would still have 20 Nxe4 fe 21 Rxe4+.


 21..Qxe4 22Qd7+Kf8 23Qxc8+ Qe8 24 Qxa6 leaves black a piece up for a pawn, it will take a while to get the rook out of h8 I know but surely black is going to win?  I agree it's not that clear cut but let me put it another way, would you play 18Nf5  ?

5a6 is advisable for black.

I would put him around 1623.

1350? alot of his moves didnt make too much sense and he got lucky black blundered and allowed that.

Avatar of ELBEASTO

actually wait- black has a refutation I just saw.

I don't think Qd3 is book, considering it was booted by the knight. Qe2 is a Velmirivic Attack type setup. f3 is probably book. I'd say White is low 1800's (C.C)

b4 followed by Bxe4 is a strong refutation of Qd3. f3 is book
