And your opponent went pawn hunting on move seventeen when instead he had 17...Na6.
All in all a terrific blitz game 😀

Actually I didn't play Bxf7 because if the king moved I just had won a pawn. If I hadn't had lost the right to castle I'd certainly go for it but the way things were I just wanted to see if I could dazzle him some how.
Spin off thread by the way 😛
And nice to see you back.

A word of wisdom. Winning the f pawn in these positions is never just winning a pawn. 😉

Hi
Just played over this and went back to here.
[fen]rnb1k2r/pp1ppp1p/5np1/8/4q3/1BB2N2/PP3PPP/R2Q1K1R w kq - 0 11[/fen]
I was looking at the 'obvious' Bxf7+ (White played Ng5)
when I suddenly saw 1. Bxf6 exf6 2.Qd6! crushing.
Threats are Re1 or Bxf7+
A case of sitting on your hands even longer after you have seen the better move.
That one I totally missed.
At this point was Bxf7 really a better move? Because Ng5 also wins a pawn and deprives black from castling...

I also noticed 8.Rc1!? After 8...Qxc4 9.Ne2! The queen is pinned.
Edit: and before someone comes on and ask "what about 8...Qxb2? That looks ok doesn't it?" I want to mention that the b pawn is taboo... You can figure out why for yourselves.

Originally posted by chesskid001Indeed, that wasn't really shunning the queen as the option always remained to take the queen. Nonetheless, it was a great job putting that mate together in a blitz game.
Of course, it is always nice to go for mate and forgo the queen when you always have the flexibility of taking the queen each move 😉
