Suba's b8-h2 Queen Sacrifice
25 Jan '14 16:452 edits67 year Mihai Suba supplied a neat wrap up the 2013 World Seniors.
For most of the game both sides kept themselves to themselves.
The 5th rank demarcation line stayed in place for 10 moves in the middle
game as both players shuffled their pieces about looking for a weakness.
Suba uncoiled first by throwing up his h-pawn to weaken the cover around the White's King.
It was refused. 33. KxN Nd3+ 34.Kf3 Qf4 mate. is one very good reason.
The Black Knight jumped back to his half of the board and the other Knight jumped in.
Finally Suba threw his Queen from b8 right into the White's King face. 0-1
Here is how Suba wrapped it up.
