A real life puzzle

Submitted by mjl4871 on Thu, 10/29/2009 at 1:47pm.

This is a position that occurred in a game I recently played. I had the white pieces and realized (after making my move) that black had a pretty effective way to win material. I plugged the position into Chessmaster 9000 and it produced this combination. Black to play. What do you do after 8. Bg5?

You are correct, my opponent missed the combination. He played h6 and I gladly took the knight at f6!

Nice combination! Due to the headline, I take it black didn't see it? Who won?

You can get in trouble quite early in some games if you are not careful. I would like to add more comments, but due to the fact it is a puzzle I stay calm for now! LOL

Add more please!
