Owens-Cubar Ladder Game






After 24.Rh4 black now has a mate in 7 starting with 24. ...Rxf2+. I only saw
it after reviewing this game with Fritz. In any case 24. ...Qe2 or 24. ...Qg5
were better than 24. ...h5?? In Game/30 events, it's very hard to see a mate in 7!

Looking ahead 7 moves was not necessary. 24...Rxf2 obviously wins material; it is unlike Gelvic to have missed it and dropping his Queen to boot. Of course I don't know how much each side had left on the clock as it is also unlike Johnny to have misses Rxf2!
