That was my first reaction, too, but after analyzing a bit (with some help from Shredder) it became pretty clear that black is doing fine. Here's an example: Bxh6 gxh6 Qxh6 Nh7 Ng5 Nxg5 Qxg5 Kh7 h6 f6(f5) exf6 Qe8 Shredder prefers Nc6 over Qe8, but Qe8 more clearly illustrates that the attack is over. White can try other ideas, but most of them are worse than the line above. The weak b2 pawn and misplaced a3 rook really hurt white's chances. -Peter > >>On January 31, 2005 at 19:14:38, Torstein Hall wrote: >> >>>On January 31, 2005 at 19:09:15, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: >>> >>>>On January 31, 2005 at 18:59:23, Torstein Hall wrote: >>>> >>>>I personally have no idea, but diep happily takes at h6 here. >>>> >>>>I regret it a bit.
