An "immortal" game doesn't have to be perfect. 13.Nxh7 seems obvious but maybe it was not the best move. Others wrote it only draws. I have not looked at this continuation. 13.hxg6 wins by force: [Event "Play for fun"] [Site "Deventer"] [Date "7.15.20"] [Round "?"] [White "Ed"] [Black "Rebel 12"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "41"] [EventDate "7.??.??"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3. Nc3 c6 4. e4 e6 5. e5 Nfd7 6. f4 Bb4 7. Nf3 O-O 8. Bd3 c5 9. Ng5 g6 10. h4 cxd4 11. h5 dxc3 12. b3 Qc7 13. hxg6 fxg6 (13... Nxe5 14. g7 Kxg7 15. fxe5 Qxe5+ 16. Kf1 $18) 14. Rxh7 Qc5 (14... Qb6 15. Ke2 $18) 15. Ke2 Nxe5 16. Qh1 Ng4 (16... Nxd3 17. cxd3 Qd4 18. Qh6 $18) 17. Rh8+ Kg7 18. Rg8+ Kf6 19. Rxf8+ Ke7 20. Rf7+ Kd6 21. Qh4 $18 1-0 I don't see a better move than 12...Qc7 so 11.h5 should be correct. 6...Bb4 is strange, 6...c5 is the book move. Michael
