Originally posted by tamuziYou are correct 33.Qc8+ will win a Rook. You are not missing anything.
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.
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.
Time control 5/0
