Chess puzzle: You're not winning till you're winning
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
Often we come up with a nice position and go straight ahead with the attack based on presumptions that this is done and the game wrapped. But how about considering the unexpected as well. In the following position White played Qe2 check 'knowing/believing' that Black would play Be7.2.Qxb2 But what did White miss? Think about it and then run the pgnplayer to see how it went. Enjoy.

I know what you mean. I would just look at the position and not even consider giving up my Queen. It's a block. Cheers Chess Queen.
