Nomorechess is still ahead of All as far as GetClub Ratings is
concerned. But looking at Strong games played by "Chrisf" and
"Zebediah" it looks like they have come to destroy the Top Ranking.

Best wishes to all players from my side for "November Months"
Competition.

This is the very game I just posted about!

Not only would f3 (assumming that is legal) avoid
mate, but any piece interposed on the d5 square
would have stopped the threat of mate on the move.

HOWEVER, the game is lost because the move
Q-c6 was a simple fork: either you guard g2 to fend
off mate, or you guard the unprotected Bishop -- but
not both. So the Bishop bites the dust.
Let's back up a move. 16.Nxe5 loses as in the game.
So what about the alternatives?

Zebediah won the Game as at last the Computer Played 18. N-a4 to
protect it's Bishop at c4 by Rook at c1.

But I feel the Mate Threath could be avoided by playing 18. P-f3 saving
it's king from Mate Threath. But the Computer Rsignedas there was a
forced Mate.

I would like to know whether P-f3 could have saved White from Mate or
not?
