Click "Read Full Entry," below, to view the illustration. In this ten-minute blitz game, I played the White pieces against a New Zealander of a similar rating as mine. Black is just two moves away from resigning. What is my next move?

The answer is below.































In this game, as usual, I played the Drunken Knight. My opponent adhered to Classical principles by opting for a strong center occupied by pawns, while I went the hypermodern route. The board above displays the fifteenth move. I haven't analyzed this with a computer--I never do--and haven't studied it for long. There may be a better move for White for all I know. If so, let me know what you find via a comment. 1.Na3 d5 2.g3 e5 3.Bg2 c6 4.b3 f6 5.Bb2 Be6 6.d3 Bd6 7.Nf3 Nd7 8.O-O Ne7 9.c4 O-O 10.cxd5 cxd5 11.Nb5 Bc7 12.Nxc7 Qxc7 13.Rc1 Qd6 14.Qd2 Rac8 15.Qa5 a6? Poor fellow did not see the threat at all. 16.Ba3 At this point, he loses a piece, and that came as a shocker, resulting in an early surrender. 1-0
