Not only would f3 (assumming that is legal) avoid mate, but any piece interposed on the d5 square would have stopped the threat of mate on the move. HOWEVER, the game is lost because the move Q-c6 was a simple fork: either you guard g2 to fend off mate, or you guard the unprotected Bishop -- but not both. So the Bishop bites the dust. Let's back up a move. 16.Nxe5 loses as in the game. So what about the alternatives? -- help bot
