Subject: A king hunt

Hi,

[D] 2r1r1k1/pp1nbpp1/4pn1p/q3NN1P/P1pP1B2/2P5/1PQ2PP1/R3R1K1 w - -

Most everyone enjoys a good king hunt, but perhaps this one is not so clear.
There are a lot of different ways White can sac his pieces in Black's king's
field here. The game went:

[Event "Wijk aan Zee"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1979"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Gaprindashvili"]
[Black "Nikolac"]
[Result "1-0"]
[FEN "2r1r1k1/pp1nbpp1/4pn1p/q3NN1P/P1pP1B2/2P5/1PQ2PP1/R3R1K1 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]

1. Nxg7 Kxg7 2. Bxh6+ Kxh6 3. Nxf7+ Kxh5 4. g4+ Kh4 5. f3 Nxg4 6. Re4
1-0

I think you may get a lot of different answers with this position depending on
the analysis engine chosen.

Cheers,
Jim
