Play online chess |  Subject: Resignation
Message:
This may be a lot to ask, but I need an analysis of one of my games. I've looked it over and I'm at a bit of a loss. In my recently-played game against "jj190", he resigned. However, I can't see my knockout blow. Would someone be willing to check my history,take a look, and respond? I really appreciate the efforts.

Play online chess | no idea

With the white pieces I would have taken your rook by Nxf8 rather than resigning. No great fear of Qxf2+ because Qe2 looks like a sufficient answer. And I couldn´t detect severe threats for the white King (although I can imagine better spaces on the board for him).
Just a short click through the game, but did you think about 15. - Nf5 first (as an answer to 15. Bh6 - instead of 15. - Nh5 followed by 16. Nf6)? A fork attacking both Queen and bishop and covering the mate on g7. I would have understood White´s resignation after this move (15. - Nf5).
The best seems to be to ask your opponent directly.

I'm sorry. I forgot to tell everyone that I indeed asked my opponent and got no reply. I saw Qe2 also. I'll look at the rest of your ideas. Thanks again.

Numberplay: Avoiding Attack — This week we hear from the second half of the Math for Love duo, Daniel Finkel, who has composed several variations on a chess classic. If you haven’t played much chess you won’t be at a disadvantage — all you need is a little logic. And watch out for that knight! Here’s Mr. Finkel: The 8 Queens Puzzle is a classic conundrum of the chess/logic/math variety: how do you place eight queens on a chessboard so that no two queens are attacking each other? Here is one possible configuration: Today, let’s pose the question for some of the less famous chess pieces on the board. 1. (Warm-up) Place eight rooks on a chessboard without any of them attacking each other. How do you know that placing ...

Two Big Chess Tournaments in the Two Biggest Cities — The biggest chess tournaments in the United States are usually held in places like Philadelphia and Las Vegas, not New York and Los Angeles. The reasons are cost (rents for tournament sites are higher in New York and Los Angeles) and convenience (inland chess tournaments tend to be easier to get to). Last weekend was an exception, with new top-level chess tournaments taking place in the two biggest cities. The competition in Los Angeles, at the First Metropolitan International Tournament, was slightly tougher and included Michael Adams of England, No. 28 in the world, and Loek van Wely of the Netherlands, No. 54. Adams lived up to his ranking by winning the chess tournament by ...
