Last position

Last game from the tournament.


White to Move

I went up a piece early in this game, we were both playing too fast. I just wanted to simplify things and I played Nxc7, thinking that would do it. But I missed something, can you see it? (nothing that made me lose, mind you, and Nxc7 may in fact be the best move, but I thought I would end up still a piece up but instead I ended up .......) (i'll put additional information in the comments).

19. Nxc7 QxN 20. QxQ KxQ 21. fxg+ and I missed f4 22. Bxf4+ e5 and play continued 23. gxf6 exf4 I went on to win, fairly easily, but I should be able to see something like that.

I was gonna say! I thought you were meaning that there was a better move than Nxc7, but I think that that was the best move!

You have very good diagrams. I'm new at this. How do I put a diagram like this
on my blog? Any informative link I
can go to? Thanks.

CD, I think it may be the best, but I wish I saw f4, it kind of freaked me out when he played it. haha.
FF, the fancy diagram is made from Fritz, just click save position (some where in the menue) and save it as a jpg and then when you make a post in blogspot there is an icon to add images, you can browse to the image on your harddrive and upload it to the blog post.

Aw, I thought it was Qxc7. I think that it actually takes alot of discipline to see those defenses, especially future pawn pushes.

They appear more and more frozen over time to me if they haven't moved in while.
