the combination starting
from 17.Bb5+ is beautiful...

That unusual but devastating
point of the combination, 20 Re7, leaving Black fatally paralyzed
is like one of Alekhine's.

What a great series of moves
to find over the board! Susan
Polgar plays some fighting chess. I saw that 14. Nxe5 was possible pretty quickly when handed the position and told there was something in it, but what a find.

Problem like. The knights start
at f2 & f3; she moves them out of the way in order to divert the white bishop with a queen sac; then reassembles them at f2& f3.

An interesting line I'm seeing is 24. gxh3 f3 25. Qxf3 Bf4+ 26. Qg3 Rxg3!! (as if it matters), but this way capturing the rook is mate by 27. ... Qxg3 and playing anything else leads to 27. ... Qxh3#. I thought this was kind of cute, as opposed to taking with the bishop.
