Originally posted by zebanoI knew White was winning, but congrats. on the continuation. I was uncertain however, as it was said as Rc5 as opposed to Rxc5, and I thought the FEN was wrong.
Rxc5!, dxc5, d6!, Qd7 (Qe6,Bd5), Bxe5 and black has the knight and a passed pawn for the rook as well as the bishop pair.

Originally posted by Crushing Dayyes analysis of losses is good, but I usually don't share them unless I can't find a better continuation on my own.
I was White in that game and goofed it later while still having the better position...
This was an RHP game I lost as White vs. mark99 that I would have been material up if I could have seen approx. 13 moves ahead!

Bxg7!
Rare to see someone display their losses, don't you think?
Bxg7, Kxg7 (nothing else is forcing enough that you can't save the bishop),
Qg5+, Kh8, Qf6+, Kg8, Rd4
at which point black can try
h5?, Qg5+, Kh7, Qxh5+, Kg7, Qg5+, Kh7, Rh4#
or
Ne4, fxe4 when whites other rook is ready to be lifted (and he has regained the minor piece).
