Answer to Study: Jared Taylor vs Graham Horobetz ___ Jonesboro, Arkansas * Arkansas State Championship Round 6

Answer: 49...Qf7, leading to a forced Queen trade. Not the immediate move 49...g4, as 50.Rxf4 which is a nice trick. Black can't recapture due to 51.Qxg7#. After 49...Qf7, if White does not trade Queens and instead plays 50.Qe4, Black can then win White's Rook with 50...g4.

 Answer to chess study:

In response to 29.Bxd8, Black played 29...Bf5 30.a4 Qd7 and White resigned in view of 31.Rc7 Qe6 and the White Queen is trapped.

White's only resource 29.a4 first, preventing Qd7 as the Bishop has not yet played Bf5. Sample line is 29.a4 Qh5 30.Qxh5 Rxh5 31.Bxd8 Bc6.
