my chess glasses were a bit foggy during the attack

analysis please

thats not the question i asked 🙂

its just out of curiosity man.

its easy to tell where a loss occurs from my games-shortest path to checkmate , however...

Hi

Saw right away exchange sac was on so copied game into
Winboard and played 'sac - don't win back'.

In this position you played 17.Bg5.

I had a quick look at the rule book.

Object of game: It's still to Checkmate King.

(thought it had changed to overnight to capture Queen's Rook).



17.Rxc6+ must be the move. It just screams out at you.

Game should have gone something like this.
First 16 moves are yours, last 9 nine are mine and I've not given
Black silly moves. They are very plausible.

I concur - give some of the material back to gain a huge positional advantage. Rxc6+ is the move.

Thanks man.

This was like my 50th and final game of the evening and fatigue was not my ally. Sometimes i can win like i did and still feel like I lost.

Rxc6 wouldve blown my own mind if i had played that at the time!

But I agree , it's brilliant.too bad i didnt see that


btw im a big morphy fan
