I caught a few moments of the beginning of "From Russia With Love" last night (on TBS I think). In it, there is a polish national chess championship where the position is something like the following (if someone has this movie on tape, they can get the exact position): [D]r3rnk1/pp2qNp1/7p/4b3/5Q2/1B6/PP3PPP/R4RK1 w White played Nxe5+, black played Kh7, white played Qe4+ and black resigned and commented on how strong Qe4+ was. I was wondering why this was. Granted, white is up material (and note, I am not sure of white's backrank, so even this is an assumption), but is that the reason? Or is there a mate or major material gain that I cannot see. I was hoping that someone could run their program against this and let me know. Thanks, KarinsDad :)
