A good game with an alert and instructive finish.
I once beat the current Scottish Champion in a 30 minute Allegro
with that pin on the g-pawn idea.
I'm Black - Alan Tate is White.
It's a tactic worth knowing and I covered it in detail showing quite a
few examples from actual play on one of The Corners.

I had an email a few days after posting the piece from a player
who saw the idea and then looked at a league game he had played
just a few days earlier.
He had the chance to play the Qxh3+ trick shot but missed it! and
then went onto lose.
I recall him saying he already depressed, my piece had made
feel suicidal. (The Corner has that effect on people).
Lesson here boys - you have got to get those tactical patterns stored.

Those were some good pins!
Here is a game of mine against another member of red hot pawn that I finished last night. I just got back to playing chess again after about a two year break, so feel free to tell me what I could have done better.

3.Nxe5 would have been good though.
13.Qh4+ is also worth a shot.

(though in this case you may well be correct)
If Black is a reasonable player, the win will not be there and
you may be lulled into doing something rash.
Fischer played it against someone he thought was a duffer in a simul
and in the end he could only draw.
7.Nxe5 looks strong though. Same idea but in a better setting.

Originally posted by diskamyl12.Kh1 isn't bad just not great... But white should play e5 on moves 9, 11 and 12.... It fits more with my style I guess though that's why I say in my opinion.... But either way it e5 on those moves seem better especially on move 11 I think 11.c4 deserves at least a ?! Because there are a plethora of better moves on the board. But if not two ? For 12.Kh1 I do at least agree to one ?
