Hi all,

This was a nice attacking game I had in the US Amateur Team Tournament (South) in round 3. I am trying to get the pgn thingie to work, and it may take me a bit. i was black.

Until I get it right, I will just point out that 25. ... Rxh3 is only good for a draw- although I thought it was crushing when I played it!

      Why a draw? After King x Bishop you are still up a Rook.

      I won the game- the pgn is still messsed up and does not show the end. My Nxh3 was a mistake. He should have played 26. gxh3 Qxd2 27. Qxd2 Nf3+ 28. Kh1 Nxd2 and then the kicker (which we both missed) is 29. Rg1! and white regains the pieces, and even has a slightly better pawn structure, although it should still be a draw.

      Both my opponent and I stopped at 28. ... Nxd2 in our calculations, and completely missed 29. Rg1.

      Hi Paul,

      Is this the game?

      I have removed all the comments and diagrams and the other game you had in there.

      The PGN here will not allow variations. If you have something else to show,
      another game or variation then use another PGN.

      I use Chess pad 2.0.2

      http://www.wmlsoftware.com/chesspad.html

      I see they updated it in December 2015. I'll stay with mine, the
      chances are they will screwed it up trying to 'improve it'.

      It has a load of features which I never use. But as a PGN tool for noting up
      a game it is perfect, user friendly and more important RHP friendly.
      It automatically adds the {} to game comments.

      You may have to tweak the preferences to how you like it but after
      5-10 minutes of playing about it and you will use nothing else.

      First posts in threads with games in PGN are still a bit dodgy so use an old thread
      with preview on to see make sure everything is OK and then start the new thread.

              Nice game, Paul. I think I might have tried 25. ... Re8 threatening a bad N check and discovered-attacking the exposed White Q. You have so many pieces swarming round the opposing K, he is bound to get wrong-footed pretty soon.
