When I publish my best games collection...

... I will take a leaf out of Alekhine's book and give this one a different ending.

I felt quite pleased with myself for seeing the idea of 19. Rf6 from several moves away, but Mr Fritz ruined it all for me by showing me the lovely finish I missed on move 22. See if you can spot it.

I found it, but it helps that you tell us it's there.

Are you white or black?

Do you think I'd post this game if I'd lost it? I was White.

byedidia - yes, it's a big problem that it's far easier to find a good move if you know there is one. Some chess-improvement books try to get round this by asking you to find the "best move", which might be a positional move, a winning combination or a clever defence to what looks like a lost position.

Rh8+ looks good

RJ - just wondering, how long did it take your engine to find that ?
