Two nice back to back Colle wins

Thought I'd share these, I am especially proud of the second game:

18 Qh7 is lovely, nice games.

Im not sure if the sacrifices are sound or not but they are both great bits of attacking chess.

thanks

Yeah that second one was nice.

the first sac was sound..... I think..

Both Rh8 and Rf7 lose.


Rf7,, Bg6 and soon, d5..... it is going bad..

And Rh8, Nh4, going bad.


The second one, I am not sure,


I say it is dubious,the bishop can soon occupy the b1-h7 diagonal....at least, you can have a draw ou of it, but Kg6 is very bad.

you are going to let the e-pawn hang. ?

I sure you hope you ca afford it.

After ...f5 Nxe6 Qb7 Nxf8+ Rxf8 Ng3 Fritz gives +-1.5. Also says black is better after 16... Kg8 but not by much. Definitely not a perfect game but the sac looked interesting & I thought there might be a mate in there somewhere.
