Ian's game in the 4NCL

Ian Wallis, playing White in the 4NCL Division Three last Sunday, had the following position:

Ian says: "I had focused all my analysis on a piece sac on b5, convinced that this would be winning.   I concluded that the knight was better than the bishop and after 20. Nb5! my opponent duly resigned because of the line... 20. axb5,   21. Bxb5+   Nc6   (if 21. ... Bd7 [or even Nd7] then 22. Nc7+   Qxc7; 23. Qxc7   Bxb5; 24 Qc8#)   22. Qxh8 with material advantage and the better position."

However, Ian missed a more aesthetic way of winning.   Can you spot the sequence of moves?   (the answer will be provided on Friday)

    ANITA:
    1.Nc7+ Kd7
    2.Nde6 (attacking the queen) fxe6
    3.fxe6#

    Is that correct?

    Macro Keys are a part of Programmable Keys feature, but somewhat unique. The macro keys are dedicated keys on the keyboard purposely designed to bind macros to or to reprogram into specific capabilities required by the user.Pokemon GO
