    littel sister what move to make next.

    Edit 1: Good game by both sides, typical Latvian.
    Whats wrong with 33. Qc4-c8+ ?

    Doesn't it win the rook?

    It's probably time pressure.

    Yes, but I'm just wondering if that is the best move (ignoring time pressure) because I'm a much weaker player, and to me that seems to be the best possible move. I just want to know if I'm overlooking something.

    I am back now - Who wants a piece? I will be around for a bit for anyone brave enough to step up to the mark.

    You are correct 33.Qc8+ will win a Rook. You are not missing anything.

    In the cold light of day very few blitz games stand up to clear analysis.
    it's down to speed and quick judgements - Korch had most likely
    decided to take the a-pawn whilst waiting those few seconds for his
    opponent to move.
    I bet he saw Qc8+ the moment he took the pawn - it happens.

    the queen sac was not quite correct, but it was easy for black to err

    I tried to play blitz the other night, first time in a decade I've played with a clock. My brain completely froze up. I couldn't remember anything, couldn't think of anything, just kept watching the seconds tick down.

    I lost to Heinzkat on time while up a piece in bullet and won over Yuga. It was just as I had predicted, once I start meeting over 1700s anything is possible.

    How dare that Heinzkat blunder pieces left and right and win on time in a lightning game!

    This is against rule 6b (paragraph 9c).
    (wins v greenpawn are NOT to be posted).
