37. Kh3 Qg5 threatening mayhem on g4. Best is 38. Qg1 to protect g4; then ...Re7 gets rid of the knight, one way or another, and g4 goes bang anyway.
37. Kg3 Qd6+; Kh3 or Kh4 Qh6 threatening mayhem on the h-file.
37. f6 Rf7 followed by hxg4 and g3+ and the WK has nowhere to hide. If, say, 38. Qf1 hxg4; Kg3 to stop this then Qd6+; Kh4 g3+ and White is toast. In some variations B can just play ...Rxf6 instead of ...hxg4, and again the WK ends up with nowhere to hide.
(I'm a patzer, or more precisely a rusty club-level player; the above is the result of some experimenting with a strong computer program. I may have missed important things.)
- akkartik 17y agoWhat's the strongest response to 37. Kxh5?
- mquander 17y agoNo computer, but 36... Qd8 37. Kxh5 Rc6 and then: 38. f6 Rxf6 39. Rxf6 Qxf6 looks totally hopeless for White, can't defend both h6 and g6 38. g5 Rh6+ 39. gxh6 Rh4+ 40. Kg6 Qf6++ Don't see any other plausible options to prevent 38... Rh6++.
