 How to Get an Advantage or to Win with

  JG (4.Bxf7+) against Maestri: 

 the Collection of Practice (Part 6)


                                          by Yury V. Bukayev

Dear readers, let me remind you that these my new posts about White's advantage and wins in such chess games are dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's publications with 4.Bxf7+ in Giuoco Piano. Now the world chess history knows a lot of cases, where White got an advantage or won here against grandmasters and other extremely strong defenders!

We should start this new part from the game

Mr. David - GM Andrew Tang (Checkmater47 - penguingim1, 1/4+0 ultra-bullet, Lichess.org, 2021, 0:1),

where after 

4...Kxf7 5.d4 Bxd4 6.0-0 Nf6 7.Ng5+ Kg6 8.c3 h6 9.cxd4 hxg5 10.f4 exf4 11.e5 d5 12.Qc2+ Ne4 13.Nd2 Bf5 14.Nxe4 Nxd4 15.Qd1 Bxe4 16.Bxf4 Qd7 17.Bg3 Bxg2 18.Kxg2 Qh3+ 19.Kf2 Rhf8+ 20.Ke1


White didn't resign and used his excellent chance in this terrible position to get a large advantage after Black's 20...Nf3+  - how annoying for Black! I think, GM Andrew Tang had, probably, enough strong idea (20...Rxf1+! 21.Kd2 Nf3+!?), but forgot about absence of moves 20...Rxf1+ 21.Kd2 on the board when playing ...Nd4-f3+. Thus, after 21.Rxf3 White had not only the advantage on the board, but also the time advantage and the psychological advantage.

Further, let's consider the key opening position from the game

Gergo Csikos - IM Andrew Tang (AncientAlien - penguingim1, 1/2+0 hyperbullet, Lichess.org, 2017, 0:1),

where after 

4...Kxf7 5.0-0 Nf6 6.c3 Rf8 7.d4 exd4 8.cxd4 Be7 9.d5 Kg8


White had here an equality (!) on the board, the large psychological advantage and not only it. Thus, it was much easier to find further strongest attacking moves for White, than strongest defensive responses for Black here: 10.dxc6! dxc6! 11.Qc2!. Thus, Black could find here the equality (11...Qe8! 12.Re1! Bg4!), but it was too difficult - almost impossible - for Black, in my opinion, to make it in a hyperbullet time control game without a time catastrophe.
