Another draw for Linda with another interesting tussle.
This girl does not like boring chess.
There appears to be some good shots on for White but nothing
100% (that I can see anyway) there are positions I would certainly
take as White because of the tactical nature but the shots need
a mistake.
For a clear line I think she can squeeze a bit more out of this
one with a messy looking pawn capture.
White to play.
27.Nxd6 and unless I'm missing something ultra clever after.
27...QxQ 28,RxQ Re1+ 29 RxR RxR+ 30,Kh2.
White is going on from here two pawns up. It looks forced.
Tricks based on keeping the d6 Knight pinned are out because
White has Knight x Bishop.
(I've said 'messy' and 'it
looks forced' regular gp readers will know
when I use these terms I having a wee nagging doubt I missed something.)
I like her anit Dragon 3.h3 and will give it a try instead of my normal
Rosso Bb5+. An English a tempo up will do me.
(see you can pick up ideas from all kinds of games you have no need to
trawl the GM games.)
Here is the game.
Can anyone see some tactical shots based on the uncastled
Black King and and loose pieces.
I hammered in a few but cannot see a forced killer diller.
