Emne: Why WhiteShark is one of the deadliest players on this site

Take a look at this position:

WhiteShark vs. nantonas

White's Queen is under attack by Black's knight, but the Chancellor/Rook/Archibishop threat cannot be countered, and black is steamrollered!

The Chancellor takes the pawn even with the Archbishop retreating to cover i8. Then, the shark sacrifices the Chancellor to force a mate that cannot be avoided.

All this while shark allows his own king to be placed in artificial peril that would draw even seasoned veterans into the attack that evaporates very quickly.

Be careful where you go swimming with this shark!

I think 21...Af5 might save the draw (instead of 21... Ag8?? which loses.)

If 22. Cxi7+ Kj8 the white Queen is denied g4 with the Archbishop on f5, and the sacrifice 23. Cxj7+?? would lose here.

WhiteShark, how would you cotinue if 21...Af5 was played?
