Analysis position from the postmortem of one of the beatdowns I received this weekend:
Black to play.
Nice. Qxf3+, King takes is mate, Q takes reveals the Qc8.
Reminds me of this 4 Queens game: cavemanchess.com/Games/Monat … r/base.htm This game was from the first tournament I played in after achieving the National Master title at the first Midwest Masters in December 1982.
