[BrianWall-ChessList] Nobody lasts long enough to get mated anymore

[Brian Wall]

I think TV and video games are rotting their minds.
They can't play basketball, they can't think.

Fishing Pole

5. h3 h5!!  6. d4 exd4 7. Nxd4 Bc5 8. Nf5 d6
9. Nxg7+ Kf8 10. Nf5 Bxf5 11. exf5 Qh4


Here we are in my favorite line,
I am all ready for the smackdown with
12 Qf3  Nd4  13  Q:b7  Re8  14  B:e8  Ne2+  15  Kh1  Q:f2
16  R:f2  Ng3+  17  Kg1  B:f2  checkmate

They can't hang with me anymore.


12. Bxc6 Qg3!!

I used to take on f2 a lot a long time ago
when I got started in my Fishing Pole career.


13. Qxg4!

Best but most are too humilaited to play it.
Anything else gets mated.

13 ... hxg4!  14. Be3!

Best but most are too humiliated to play it.
Anything else gets mated.


14 ... Bxe3!  15. fxe3

Anything but the totally hopeless
15 Nd2 or Nc3 is immediate checkmate

15 ... bxc6

15 ... Q:e3+!!  16  Kh1  bc  mates quicker


16. Nc3

{White resigns}  0-1

16  Nc3  gh  17 Rf2  hg  18 R:g2  Q:e3+  19  Rf2  Ke7!
20  Nd5+  cd  21 f6+  Ke6  22 Rd1  Rag8+  23 Kf1  Rh1  checkmate

The herd needs thinning.
