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?
