 Regardless of what it is, black is hopelessly lost after the move
>>>>>18. Qg3.
>>>>> My analysis seems to indicate blacks last chance to save the game
      is on move 15.... Qb6-d8?? rather Qd4!! if I recall correctly after
      leaving Rebel10b on over night the analysis was slight advantage for
      black after 15.... Qd4.I tried to duplicate tournament play by
      giving Rebel10b 5 minutes per move from 12. on and Rebel made same moves
      until 17. when the Nc6 score showed (-) at just over 4 minutes
      and found the mate in 10 at 6:19. White has many winning lines when
      black fails to swap the Queens.
