Hi everyone,
ok I would like your opinion about a move in one of my recent games and
what Chessmaster thinks should have been the correct move.

First of all go to:
http://gameknot.com/hist.pl?id=vzografos
and click on the WON link on my latest game that was finished at
10/10/05 with an oponnent called matos. That will bring up a window with
a chessboard. You can click the < or > links at the bottom of the
window to go back or forward a move.

Now, if you go to move 15. exd5 exd5 according to chessmaster (I tend to
analyse all my games after they are finished) it considers that my best
move should have been 15. exd5 Nxh4 and then 16. O-O which results in
white being down one knight for a pawn.

I really dont understand why for 15. exd5 Nxh4 shouldn't the
continuation be 16. Qxh4

Any ideas?

Thanks
V.Z.

16...Nd3 (16...Bxf2? 17. Kxf2 Nd3+ 18. Kg3 +/=) 17. Kf1 Nxf2 and
there's no defense really.

Yes I see it now. Thank you very much Toni.

Also note that my last move


38. .. Re2+ is not the best
he could have easily continued with
39. Rf2 Rxf2
40. Kxf2 but he would probably loose anyway.

Instead I should have played

38. .. Ne3

Anyway. Doesn't really matter because he resigned anyways.
