Mate by a Pawn is always a nice finishing touch. Bernstein ends the game quickly and in elegant fashion. | |
|
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 |
Book so far. |
| | |
|
3... d6 |
Unnecessarily blocks in the KB and cramps Black's position. 3... B-B4 is the correct move. |
| | |
|
4. O-O |
Bernstein, quite properly, tucks away his King befor engaging in complications. |
| | |
|
4... Nge7 |
Another bad move. 4... N-B3, or even 4... N-R3 to add extra protection to the KBP, would allow 5... B-K2 and 6... O-O, getting the King to a relatively safe spot. |

5. Ng5 |
Bernstein takes immediate advantage, pressuring KB7 at once. |
| | |
|
5... f6 |
Opening the diagonal fully for the Bishop and ensuring his King will never have a safe haven. |
| | |
|
6. Bf7+ |
Forcing the monarch to bestir himself. |
| | |
|
6... Kd7 |
The only square. |
| | |
|
7. Qg4+ |
Adding force to the attack. |
| | |
|
7... f5 |
7... N-B4 isn't any better. Black's position is shattered already, just 7 moves in. |
| | |
|
8. exf5 |
Setting up a vicious discovery. |
| | |
|
8... h5 |
White could win slowly with 9 BxRP, or quickly with... |
| | |
|
9. f6+ |
...this move. |
| | |
|
9... hxg4 |
In spite of removing the Q, Black is still mated in 2 moves. |
| | |
|
10. Be6+ |
Forcing the King to... |
| | |
|
10... Ke8 |
...this square, where... |
| | |
|
11. f7# |
...this Pawn finishes the game with a flourish. |
