        hello and good night, hoping that youll have a smashing year, i tried to email the last day of the past year but it was no use, sorry.

        Well maybe Bxh7´check, Kh8;

        Qh5, Rfe8;
        Rf7, Rc-d 7;
        Bg6ch, Kg8 and
        Qh7 chmate. am i right susan?

        p.d. how can i make my brain make a clear image of the board so as to even solve problems without looking at the chessboard at all!?

        Is that exclusively for the grandmasters like you or can anyone train its brain for it. I really admire those who can play simultaneous or blindfolly, although i guess its not the same as watching the board ritht??

        How do u make your chessboards in different colors? is it with the fritz program?

        well goodnight and best wishes today , for the year and alwauys.

        p.d. that´s great a chessblog of photos im going to check it right now and ill later tell u which are my favourite photos., It will be hard because most of them are so cool, right now my favourite is the lion playing with a truck, its so nice!!, your sister is solucky.

        Does u sister Sfia have a email or somewhere, where one can contact her about her private classes, are they more expensive than yours?, are they by email or exclusively for those living at Canada?

        What´s your expectgations for this year 2007?

        1 Bxh7+

        1 …. Kh8
        2 Qh4 Rfe8
        3 Bg6+ Kg8
        4 Qh7+ Kf8
        5 Qh8#

        1 …. Kxh7

        5 Ng4#

        (or, in the last line, 4 …. Kf4 5 Qg4#)

        On the board visualization question: I think anyone who is reasonably intelligent can train himself (or herself) to visualize the board, just like anyone can learn to play piano. Of course, not everyone can hope to become a GM, just like not everyone can become a concert pianist.

        By playing g6, the king can also go to h7. This way, f6 is available as an escape route.

        Bxh7 Kh8
        Qh4 g6
        Bxg6+ Kg7
        Qd4+ Kg8
        Bh7+ Kxh7
        Qh4+ Kg8
        Qg4+ Kh8
        Re5 black any move
        Rh5 mate

        I thought about that g7 escape you mentioned so i tryed the d4 queen move to try and pin the queen back into the corner. then i moved the queen so the g file wasnt open and used my rook to mate on the h file.

        2.qh4 g6
        3.bxg6+ kg7

        is the simple

        4.qh7+ kf6
        5.rxf7+ rxf7

        Here is an interesting position from a game I recently played:
        FEN:
        1R1Q1RK1/5PPP/NNP5/b1BPn3/3p4/p3p3/5ppp/r2q1rk1

        Black just played 1…Nxe4. What is our evaluation of this move?

        Rgds Manoj.
