In chess there is often a fine line between winning and losing. At the club level, almost every game contains one or more missed chances, often not noticed until the silicon monster goes to work.
And so it was on Tuesday night at the Eastlake Gungahlin Chess Club. Ian Hosking went down in flames against Jerry Cheng, after Cheng sacrificed a rook for a devastating attack. But a few moves earlier, Hosking had the chance to play an unexpected, but incredibly strong move, which would probably have flipped the result from a loss to a win. Can you spot it?

Seems like several opportunities to play qd1/be2
Prolly just qd1, be2 can be ignored
18.Nxf7+ looks decisive!
Actually, 18 Nf7+ is totally wrong. It's Qe1 deflecting bishop from f7 square
That was me correcting the 18 Nf7 blunder
My God... I meant Qd1
Well done to everyone who played! Indeed Qd1 was the winning move
