1B0311 Black has a nice defensive combination.... 1. ... Qh6+ and the forced trade of Queens wins because he is up material. (White has sacked everything but the kitchen sink to get an attack here.)	_____	1B0312 1. ... Nf3+ not only forks the king and the pawn, but Black who was up a pawn is now up two pawns and the extra pawn on e6 is now passed (meaning it is not blocked by other pawns) givening Black a huge engame advantantage
1B0313 It is a bit of a mystery to me why in the bullet game Conguito vs. Mbelli on the Internet Chess Club, black did not play 1. ... Rxb5 winning the knight because of the pin on the rook at a1. Maybe someone can explain it to me?	_____	1B0314 At first glance that pawn check on f7 looks like bad news for black. But notice that black is way up in material. He merely has to play 1. Qxf7 and he is O.K., even if he has to give up the Queen for the Rook and Pawn.
