An amazing combination

I have an Alburt and Palatnik book on Chess Tactics for the tournament player. This is a position from Palatnik game against Kasparov(white) . White to Move played Bishop x g5 . This combination is about 14 moves deep all forced . Those who are adventuresome should attempt to calculate this before looking at the game score below.

    That Garry guy was pretty good.

    I wonder he actually calculated it all the way? It seems Black had a few choices along the way. Maybe after seeing so deep, Kasparov could say "OK, this is winning."

    Thanks for your response concerning L20/30 etc. Been out of the chess loop awhile but thinking of getting back in. I just ordered the program!

    Glad to hear you have utilized "The Italian Gambit" I and Jude put a good solid two years into it. Jude is doing well and had very good success at the last Senior World Chess Champion event in Austria last year.

    Thanks, "Pilotknight" (George Laven)
