Queen or mate in 5, and winning a rook.


From today's standard FICS game:

An easy one - my opponent played

28: Re1??



And I replied politely 28. ...., Nd5??

But actually, black can win the queen or give mate in 5.

A little later there was another opportunity I missed, this time a little more difficult:

White played 36 Qb4??



and black should have won a rook - and not play 36. ..., Qxd5??


(Nice to be able to just "capture current board" in SCID, save it and upload it to this blog - couldn't be much easier.)
