OOPS, I missed a frigging number! I got flustered by a stupid IE message saying I had to allow temporary scripts. My only excuse🙂Game 3159367

Originally posted by Dies IraeYeah, I though for sure my pawn would punch through, but I missed the queen coming down behind the pawn, I should have prepared the sac by getting my back bishop out so the rook could have taken the my rook snatcher, that may have made it a more potent attack. As it was, the attack was an illusion!
you certainly sacrificed a bunch of pieces thats for sure

Originally posted by Dies IraeNo, his queen just comes to a5 and stops all that stuff. Thats why I didn't immediatly push. I saw the queen coming in. I was going through all kind of hoops to keep it out of there. Ah, you beat me to it.

Yeah, it's tough for you after that, I think the main problem with the sacrifice is that your queen is out of play, and white's d pawn prevents too many troubles - trying axb2+ with Rb8+ to follow doesn't seem to work because of this reason. You probably should have spent another move or two preparing this attack and attempted to swing your queen onto the a or b file first.

Originally posted by cmsMasterYes, in retrospect....amazing how hindsight is 20--20! I think the main thing I missed was getting my back bishop out of the way so I could take that accursed bishop, it screwed up my whole attack.
