    10. Bxh7+ looks pretty cool but you could of just won the knight with 10.g4.

    Ah the simple things that are missed in blitz.
    I guess I was expecting d7 or e8 for the knight
    and my sights were already set on h7!

    That would be sweet too as it necessarily counters the check.

    Good eye Mr. TomTom. That move is absolutely devastating. Its so elegant and simple...without providing mate! What a test! - it belongs in a tactics manual.

    Where is the resident writer Mr. Pawn? He should be writing this down. This is a perfect inclusion in his tactics book. I'll buy a copy.

    Yes, I spotted it instantly because I missed such a move against a rival of mine... I couldn't live it down for months. I had even considered playing the move but hadn't realized it would come with discovered check so I quickly discarded it! 😞

    a proper understanding of the pawn structure would have revealed this discovered

    Then learn it quickly because if I have opponents that I know are unaware of the en-passant rule, I tend to exploit them!
