    - This looks scary
    - Don't hurt me
    - Oh no my rating points
    And from analysis:
    - Fork passant
    - Forced mate in 16

    On move 15 I really liked the idea of bishop back to c4, giving back the knight! after bxc3 bxc3 you win a tempo on the knight and open up a route for developing your dark squared bishop. I could easily be missing some tactics though.

      @DR13Gamer 2 года назад

      I don't see any forks with the knight, but instead you can just take the queen with the knight right away? So the queen wouldn't take the bishop probably. It would still be very dangerous for white but I don't see the fork you are referring to

    1:11 after Qxd6, instead of playing d3, why can't the knight on h8 be moved to f7? It is protected by the bishop and attacks the queen! Depending on where the queen moves, knight can then jump to g5 or capture the pawn on e5. Or white can play any other move after the queen moves.

    At 9:25, after Black plays ...b5, try countering with b4, which prevents Black from advancing his pawn to that square. If Black plays Qxb4, White can now counter with Rb1, which attacks the queen and piles up on Black's b5 pawn, nullifying that threat. And if Black does NOT play Qxb4, then the queen has to move to a square where it cannot protect both its b5 and e5 pawns.
