Suspect0 is playing an interesting chess game on his computer. Both a position and moves are shown briefly. Hey! I actually play this opening! (my USCF rating: 2190). So who else should analyze it?

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.Qe2 (rare – but I’ve been playing it for 20 years) b5 6.Bb3 Be2 (Bc5 is another line) 7.c3 O-O 8.O-O? (d5 is fun with the idea ed 9.e5) ed 9.Nxd5 10.Nxe5? Nf4! 11.Qe4 Nxe5! 12.Qxa8 (asking for it) Qd3! 13.Bd1 (to stop Ne2+ Kh1 Ng3+) Bh3 14.Qxa6** Bxg2

Note that the position shown is after 14.Qxa6; the Black B is still on h3 on the computer screen although the move Bxg2 is in the move list.

Black is clearly winning. The game might finish 15.Re1 Nf3+ 16.Bxf3 Qxf3 with White forced to cede material to stop Nh3 mate.

To discuss this, catch me (handle: RossA) in channel 165 on the Internet Chess Club (www.chessclub.com).
