    @sertificat0r if black plays…Kxe4 there will be mate in 2. The continuation would be Qd3+ forces…Kf4, Rh4+! if black plays..Rg4, Rf5 is mate, whereas if black defend the check with …Qxh4, white still delivers the mate with Qf3++.

    (When he played Qf2). How did the Danish born manage to become scottish so fast? Isnt that required to become british champion? Because he has only lived in scotland in 2 years!?

    Computers, against sacrifices, are generally much more able to find moves to neutralize counterplay off sacrifices than humans are. Human opponents, however, can get confused or flustered by an exchange sacrifice or early bishop sac, getting them to play less careful moves or making them so fearful that they miss the obvious.

    Sacrifical chess is always delightful to
    watch but I’m too timid to try it in most
    of my games. I play against the computer
    alot and it always seems to be able find
    refutations of risky play like this.
