Go up one level in this thread

Terry,

>Nf5!..gf gf..Kh8 b6! followed by Rdg1 etc. +-

1. Nf5 gxf5 2. gxf5 Kh8 3. b6 Na6 4. Rdg1 Rg8 (holds the bishop) 5. Nd5 Qd8

Also possible is:

1. Nf5 gxf5 2. gxf5 Rd8 3. Rdg1 Ne8

In both lines white should win due to the pressure.  I don't believe that
Shredder 9 saw all of the tactics that fall out of this position within 2 secs -
it played the move for positional reasons and is therefore a positional
sacrifice (IMO).  There may be a forced tactical line - this just means that it
was a good positional sacrifice.

OK let's leave it at that.
