        without analysing..the first thing that strikes me is NF5…to get the night into the game.

        Nf5 is good. I didn’t see it. I was analyzing Ne6 and e5 plan or vice versa, but I was not sure they are sound.

        Nf5 is the key. But black plays Qf6 instead of Qf8 (Qf8 loses after wolverine’s line), so

        Nf5 Qf6
        g5! Qd8
        Nh6+ Qxc3

        and white should win in this attack.

        @guoruey – correct!

        but you dissent with wolverine2121 – the most famous all hat and no cattle grandmaster around.

        what will happen next?

        I suppose, wolverine will pulverize you and me (like wolverine pulverized a german baboon named “jochen”) …

        Way to go @guoruey! We have no chance! We are clueless, we, you, me and jochen of course are idiots. It is wolverine to enlight us …

        “go chew on some cow excrement.”

        i did it – it helped – happy taste…

        i dont go around telling people to shut up about posting a solution . vohaul your the same german creep that complains about the type of problems. then trys to insult peoples solutions with your arrogent dismissels of there efforts. i dont say anything about others solutions or tell people to shut up and not post a solution. to make it even worse i never see you come up with any original idea. then after youve looked at everyones solutions you set up the pieces on your chess board and post something. do it in your head. i dont even own a chess board so if i make mistakes on here its because after the eigth or tenth move its not exactly as clear as if i was moving pieces on a board. get some courage and come up with a solution on your own. im not afraid to mess up a problem up and when i do ill admit i messed the problem. your the guy who used to just use rybka to get a solution then complained you couldnt put it into some computer format. i do these problems because im learning and fully admit i make mistakes. your a complete joke. some arrogent german that probaly couldnt beat anyone in tournaments then trys to make up for it with slamming peoples efforts.

        *walks in*

        *looks around*

        you guys pointing fingers at each other all realize this this is something that my kids learned to stop doing by the time they were 10? My cats are a little over 7 years old and they are smart cats and are on the verge of learning that pointing paws at the other cat doesn’t get them a preferred outcome.

        Do we really want to force Susan to re-impose moderation on here? It was frikkin’ annoying but necessary. Pls every act like adults (or at least 19) and don’t force Susan into re-imposing moderation. She has enough work to do without the additional chore.

        p.s. it’s a nice problem.
