Puzzling




The following game re-visited a puzzling line considered earlier. White chose a more complicated line and was rewarded quickly.


NosBos - IamFischer
blitz, FICS, 2012


1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Na5 




A line with no name. Its purpose, I suppose, would be revealed by 4.Bb3 Nxb3 5.axb3. It attracts the "Jerome treatment" however.


4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke8 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Nxg6 Nf6 8.Qe5+ 




Better than 8.Qxa5 Black Resigned, which was puzzled over in  Zoogin - Rampenplan, blitz, FICS, 2011 (A look at The Database shows that Black scored 26% in over 50 games, despite the position being largely equal for the second player.)


8...Be7 9.Nxh8 d6 10.Qxa5 Black resigned
