Logical Chess Move by Move Game 1 - 2009/04/19 09:21
16.Bxf7+ is much better than the move that was played. But, greed is a strong psychological motivation. White obviously wants to hang onto the extra piece.
Although 16.Bxf7+ is a much better move than the one played, it still loses.
After 16.Bxf7+, black plays 16...Ke7!
If 17.Nf3 Rhf8, 18.Bg5+ Black can play Kd7 with the threat of Rxf7 with renewed threats against h2 or Kxf7, then the White King gets chased up towards h5 and h4 squares and the black h pawn becomes a killer.
For example, 16.Bxf7+ Ke7!, 17.Nf3 Rhf8, 18.Bg5+ Kxf7, 19.Qd5+ Kg6, 20.Nh4+ Kh5, 21.Bf6+ Ne5, 22.Qd1+ Qg4+, 23.Qxg4+ Nxg4, 24.Bxg7 Kxh4!!
White has a pretty hopeless position here. Black STILL has kingside pressure and pressure against f2. He's got 2 minor pieces for a rook. He's got a deadly passed pawn on the h file, which is ready to march.
