How else to explain the following shocker from this morning's eighth round of the Northumbria Challengers?
Black to make his 27th move in Michael Hubbard (1946/174) - Spanton (1881/168) |

Black wins easily after 27...Nxc5 28.Ba3 Kg8. But note that 28...Kf7? is much less clear as White has 29.Bxc5 Rxc5 30.Nb7 with Nd6+ to follow.
Instead the game saw 27....Rxc5?? 28.Nxb7 (1-0, 44 moves)
