Game 4791227
Why was my last move strong enough to force a resignation? I can't see it. I asked the player but he's not responding. Did he make a mistake in resigning?

Originally posted by Freddie2006The knigh is doubly attacked by your queen and rook. So just with king defending it it doesn't do. One other thing is that even if you had just a piece attacking the knight drawing the king to the center of the board while you had an army of pieces to attack him would probabily be worst than losing a knight. I think that I'd even play an exchange sacrifice if I though your king hadn't enough time to escape.
Kg5 though??

Edit - I was thinking along the lines of Kh5 RxNg4 QxNe7. Then White can't really play Rh4, because of the black queen.

Originally posted by Freddie2006This is won, but it looks tricky. How about 21. ...Kh5 (21. ... Kg5?? Rxg4) 22. Be2 (22. Rxg4 Qxe7 +/- but the Black Queen defends h4 and the e-file) f5 (Ndf6? 23. Qxf6) 23. Bxg4 or Rxg4 win.

Black is in check and has 5 legal moves:
1...Qxe7 loses a queen for a knight.
1...Kg5 and 1...Kh6 are both forced mates.
1...Kh7 white wins a piece because after 2...Qxe7 is 3. Qg7# Also after 2.Rxg4 white is threatening mate in 3 beginning with Rh4+.
The only reasonable move is 1...Kh5 but black is in trouble after 2.Be2. (threatening mate in 3)
