Actually After 39. Rd1+ in the variation I quote it's best for Black to lose the Queen with 39...Qd6 or 39...Qd5, as after 39...Ke7 40. Qxc8 as you write but Black is in even bigger trouble, threat of mate on d8, Night on b8 hanging, c7 hanging, Black will lose even faster. If you put this position in a chess software like Chess King, you will see that after 39. Rd1+, if Black gives away the Queen the evaluation if +5 and if they play 39...Ke7 it's +10. Both are losing for black, of course.
Why do you say after 39. Rd1+ wins the Queen ? Are you saying she will play 39 ...Qd6 ? It would be a very bad choice because she would loose Queen and Rook !!! She can play 39... Ke7 and you just win rook on c8.
great game Alexandra! can't wait for the tie-break, please upload it.
And Happy new year!
great video and a great set of chess :P i would want to get those chess as a christmas present or smthn like that :P
Sure, Natalia Poginina was on my team in the team competitions. We won gold in the Mind Sports Blitz Team event! :-)
If one day I got the opportunity to play a GM in a blitz game I would use the Nimzo-Larsen attack! Alexandra, you are perfect in the Ruy Lopez.
Hi!
No I don't play on ICC.
At 8:35 why didn't she take the bishop on C6 with the rook?

enjoyed the game
After 34...Rxc6 it's very easy to win for white 35. Qh7+ Ke8 36. Rxc6 Qxc6 37. Qxh6 Bf7 38.Qh8+ Kd7 (otherwise loses the Rook) 39. Rd1+ wins the Queen
