So I finally evened up the score with St. Patzer. He made a whoopsie and fell into a pawn fork on his minor peices in the opening. So not a commanding, over powering win, but a win I will take just the same given my recent string of losses at timeforchess.com.

A quick synopsis of the game is, Patzer blunders the minor for a pawn. I quickly simplify the position with a bunch of forced trades. In the end its R+B vs. R and I use one of the R+B mating motifs to force a resignation.

How do you think it would have gone with black playing ...g5 from the diagrammed position and (if Bg3) h5 (followed by h4 if you take on d6)?
Didn't give it too long a look at it, but seems interesting.

1. ... g5
2. Bg3 h5
3. exf6

threatens to trade the bishops on d6 if black plays h4 and gives the white bishop e5 as an escape square if black does not trade the bishop.
