    White picked a nice time to time out.

    Ulf t - Dommersnes RHP 2014


    White to move lost on time. Today's puzzle is - what does White play if he never timed out.

    OK, I've had my wee joke. Skim through this game. White misses a mate in two.
    (and then goes onto to hang his Queen and lose.)

    First game:
    Qxg7#

    Second game:
    Instead of 30. Qe6+, white should play 30. Qd7+ Be7 31. Qe7#.

    Correct.

    I was thinking in the 2nd game some of you may have been pulled in
    by Nxg5 or Nxe5.

    GreenPawn,
    Isn't 3. Nxe5 the move to make?
