==Notation for mate==

Mightn't it be wiser to use # for mate (and not ++)?

"This move is necessary, since 6...Kg6? 7.Qf5+ Kh6 8.d4+ g5 9.h4! would leave White with a crushing attack."  Let's say I'm confused by d4+. [[User:70.129.156.206|70.129.156.206]] 04:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:It's a "discovered check"; after that move, Black is in check from the bishop on c1, which the d-pawn was blocking before. Does that clear it up? [[User:DanielCristofani|DanielCristofani]] 07:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== 7. Bxd5x mistype? ==

Excerpt from article:
7. Bxd5+
White gives check yet again, keeping Black on the run. Let's review the three ways to get out of check:
Capture the piece giving check. Black could play 7...Qxd5. But White would simply take the queen with 8.Qxd5+, giving White a huge material '''disadvantage''', as well as a continuing attack on Black's exposed king.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the author means that the bold type '''disadvantage''' remarked above would actually be a material '''advantage''' for White, which is why the third listed move is the best move available.
