From this position, I played 17.Qh5+, missing the best move. My opponent found the second best move. Then, my reply was second best, too. A sequence of second best moves by both players resulted in an overwhelming advantage for White.
White to move
Would you have found a better move than 17.Qh5+ in a three minute blitz game?
Scholastic players and parents: Many of the posts on this blog feature lessons developed for youth chess players. The label "Problem of the Week" links to posts that contain my "lesson of the week" from September 2011 through April 2017, and then again occasional posts from 2021 on.
I am available for one-on-one lessons in person or online. Use the contact form below if interested.
