Analysis
----------------
1) Tim you must capture the Bishop on 22.
If you choose not to
and defend your pawn with Kb7 results
in 23.Rxd7 Capturing your Knight,
Your rook captures my rook followed
by my next move
24.Qxd7 Please also note that your playing Kb8 on
move 22. ends with the same diastrous result.
My Queen eats your rook for lunch
and should you attempt move your H rook
to c8 diaster as I can play 25.Qc6+ Kb8 forced
followed by 26.Qxa6
and if your King takes my Bishop
27.Nb5 With a forced Checkmate.
2) If 22.a5 I play 23.Rxd7
you obviously will play Rxd7 I then play
24.Bxc7 Kxc7
25.Nb5+ leads to Checkmate.
If 25.Kc8 26.dxc5 and as Rh8 would be your only
defence to save your rook.
Btw Tim there is no way to unpin the rook via c5.
27.b5! leads to mate as you cant move your d7 rook
because its pinned and moving
your D8 rook to any other square leads to diaster.
Here Again if you dare move
your king to b8 cxd7 with the loss of a rook!
Capturing my Pawn with your d8 rook
results in me capturing your pawn with my queen
positioning it for checkmate!
Good Game Tim!
Alec.
