Dangers on f7

Submitted by KillaBeez on Sun, 05/17/2009 at 9:05am.

I recently played a game where my opponent fell into a trap and let me sacrifice on f7 for a mating combination.  He was playing moves rather quickly and probably didn't see my attacking possibilties.  Hopefully this will be a reminder to you to make sure your opponent doesn't have any sacrifices.

Well then I guess tactics trainer has this one covered.  Actually, I had not run into that problem yet.  Good thing I found it OTB.

Ha, I loved doing this in blitz games :)

White doesn't look that great if black plays 7. ...Nb6, though. The attack on f7 seems quite committal.

Very Sweet...even when they make blunders, if you don't see them, they weren't blunders to you...good eyes, Killa!
