Rd7 in your analysis line I play 35...Rc8 instead of 35....Rxd7 ?bulldog_bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068792289999189556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7360019092704946757.post-21681057442430282582006-12-25T03:05:00.000-05:002006-12-25T03:05:00.000-05:001. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. d4 Nxd5 4. c4 Nf6 5.

There are some subvariation but all lead to mate.<br />Final note. Your way would work but only with reversing moves (not allowing white move Rd7): 34...Rd4 and 35...Rc3.<br />Marry Christmasprocykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887228689863195621noreply@blogger.com
