I've played several games against this player and I've had a pretty good won-loss record. But white made such a spectacular comeback here I had to annotated it for him. | |||||

Nothing special yet | ||||

?! This is an interesting move, possibly looking for flank operations, and fianchettoing his DSB. | ||||

? This is just a mistake as it leaves the e pawn open for attack and ruins the kingside's pawn defense. | ||||

I'm not sure whether capturing the pawn was better, but it might have been. | ||||

?! This loses a piece, but after he captures I get a attack against the WK. | ||||

7. Ke2 Qxg4+ 8. Nf3 Qe4+ 9. Kf2 Nxb4 |
I've regained material equality, I looked at Bc5+ but he can defend with d4. | ||||

I decide to play it anyway, and look for an opening. | ||||

After deciding that I can't really hunt the king down with only my queen over there, I grab another piece and decide to simplify to a won endgame. | ||||

Uh-oh, here's where alarm bells started to go off, he has a promising attack down the d file. | ||||

? Somewhat naive, I expected I could handle whatever he could throw at me and I tried to continue my earlier attack. Better would have been O-O. If I'd castled here I think I probably would have won, but white wouldn't have been able to stage such a great comeback. | ||||

20... g4+ |
I decide the best defense is a good offense and go on the attack. Notice, that I can simply capture his bishop, but I played this first because if he moves to g3 then I can take the knight and mate. | ||||

21. Kg2 Qxc4 |
Better might have been capturing the knight because that would continue the attack, but I played this to get rid of the mate threat. | ||||

Loses my queen for rook, but I couldn't find anything else. Anyway, I'll still have a massive materiel advantage not that it helped me much. | ||||

Let's analyze here for a moment. Black is massively ahead, but white had a devastating attack going on that might make black sac more material to defend. Also, black's rooks aren't really doing anything and his minor pieces are either (in the case of the d knight) tied down defending against something, or (in the case of the bishop and knight) lured over there and incapable of assisting the defense more than a little. | ||||

! This was a good move. It forces me to do something about the attack on my pawn because otherwise another attacker will be added to the f pawn. | ||||
