Very Weird Game

Game 3491705

This game was crazy. That's about all I can say.

I am very curious to read what other people found in this game, I think there was a ton of missed stuff.

Enjoy,
Matt

Why not 20.Bd7+ winning back his bishop?

1. He had a better move there (which he missed).

2. I would still have a material advantage.

3. He was playing for a draw because I had too much material on him.

What was the better move? I also figured he was playing for a draw but that would pressure you a little bit and he could still draw it later couldn't he?

Be8+ leads to mate if I'm not mistaken... I'm analyzing it with fritz right now.

hmmm. I think that Bc7 stops the mate. But let me check it out a little bit more.

I have:

20. Be8+, Bc7
21. Rxd8+, Kxd8
22. Rd1+, Kxe8
23. Qxc7, Qe7
24. Qb8+, Bc8
25. Qxc8+, Qd8
26. Qxd8#

Most of that is forced...

Actually, you should know that fritz still hasn't found mate and it's been 25 minutes. If that makes you feel any better.

... actually, that probably means that mate isn't forced.

Black can play 22. ... Kc8 and will remain a bishop up with this line.

I can't find any line that equalises for white after move 19, with Bd7+ not winning back the bishop due to Bxa1, leaving white with B vs R+P.
