A lot of calculation

Submitted by rileyriley on Sun, 04/05/2009 at 6:28pm.

This is a game I'm pretty proud of.  It was correspondence and I spent a lot of time on each turn, calculating more than I usually do.  It was pretty tight the whole game, and comes down to an exciting finish!

Doesn't that put black down a piece?

My mistake, sorry, just don't take the knight, only the bishop :)

Ah, I see what you mean.  But now that I've seen your movelist,a new thought: what about 11. Nc7+ after your variation?
