18.Rae1+
Wow, looking at this black should resign. There aren't many moves here that wouldn't keep the advantage on white's side, the best of which is Rae1+.

As stated already, 18.Rae1+ Nde5 19.Nxe5, is a given. I'd then expect black to go with fxe5 which allows us to push to f4 with the aim of taking e5 again.

Oh, and if black is silly enough to reply with 18...Kf7, we have a mate in 6.

The way they are playing, it might not take 6 moves----I don't know why they don't resign----maybe We should send a note saying "Good Game"----sometimes that works----lol

move 19: Bc4+
Seems like our troops are organized and well prepared; that we need to start the perhaps fatal offensive with 19. Bc4+

So, seems we're all agreed on 19.Bc4+ ?

KOH resigns the game!
Moments ago I received this message from doji, announcing that KOH had
resigned our consultation game and congratulating us. I thanked him and them for helping create an interesting game - and cheers to you all for such good play!

Clark

From doji
Hello, ironbutterfly!

In the game: CM vs KOH, consultation game: could you post in the thread that The Knights of Honor Chess Club resigns?

I ask you this because johnclarck is away from GK for several days.

Will you also congratulate your club for the victory?

Thank U.

Jo
