This was the situation I found myself in a OTB game I played recently, as you can see, I'm in a bit of a jam positionally and down material. See if you can figure out how I made up for this. =)

good but not forced

really? where are the alternatives? after Rd8+ the only other move is Ke7, then its the same Bg5+ and I don't see any way to side step that without losing the queen.

eaglex -- isn't Bg4 a blunder? what does black do after Qf2+?

David-Neff -- that wasn't the only blunder in that game, I left a knight hanging in the opening to get to my current position in the opening and then black blundered away his rook later in the game to decide things in my favor, ultimately.

Why not 4. Qf2 instead of 4. Qxg4+?

nice.....but not forced...

Avatar of soothsayer8

ananya, I think we've decided that it is forced.

yeah, kinda funny that the thread pretty much started all over again there, lol. I think she just didn't read the rest of the thread...or perhaps has a brilliant line of analysis to share?
