Overnight tactic
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
GM HAMMER
GM KOSINTSEVA,T.
This is the position after Black’s 29th move in the game Kosintseva vs Hammer, Cap D’Agde 2010. A murky position no doubt, but here Kosintseva over played her hand with the flashy (but weak) 30.Bg5? After 30…hxg5 31.Ng5 Black could have gained the upper hand with 31…Qh6!
INSTEAD, IN THE POSITION ABOVE, WHITE HAS A VERY STRONG (PROBABLY WINNING!) CONTINUATION. DO YOU SEE IT?
solution below
30. Ng5!! (flashy, but strong!) Black can not take because after 30…hxg5 31.Bxg5 wins the Queen (31…Qg6. 32.Bxe7ch!). After the apparently forced 30…Qg6, White has 31.Bf7, winning atleast the exchange.
