Game 1327081

Because whites queen was about to run amok on the black position. Black was going to lose a rook and a couple of pawns.

Because the black king was about to be slapped around the board.

All I can see is 11...Kd7 12. Qf7+ Kc8 13. Qf5+ Nd7 (or, very badly, Qd7!?, losing lots of materiel). Please fill me in guys.

Edit: I just saw 12 Qf5+, which I think forces mate in one either way the king moves. He/she/it must have seen that, even though I probably wouldn't have 🙂. But I don't see a way of winning the rook, apart from the dumb first variation 😕

Either way, black loses weight. Lots of it.

15. Qc8+ Qd8
16. Bf7+ winning the queen. If he tries Ke7, then Qe6#
