Philidor's defense. |

This just pushes the queen. I like Pa5, personally. 14. BxPe5 NxB. 15. NxNe5 Bb4. This pins the white queen, with the bishop protected by Pa5. |

Now white can interpose a pawn or knight on any pin. |

Trading queens would most likely have been better. |

20. Be6+ Nfd7 21. f5 |
Looks like a blunder. NxBe6, 22. QxQ+, NxQc7 23. PxBg6. Seems pretty fair, with good positions for black. Alternatively, QxQe5+ 23. BxQ5 Bh5 does not seem quite as promising. |

21... Bf7 |
This was kind of clever, BxBf7, NxQe5 would be fun. My guess is white has other ideas. |
| | |
|
22. Bxd7+ Rxd7 |
Absolutely wrong. KxB7 doesn't work because QxQ+. But NxBd7 lets Rd8 continue protecting Rh8. Let QxBe7 (bonus!) R (either one) e8 then pins the white queen. While white still enjoys BxQc7, black ends up with it. |

23. Qxh8+ |
Rd8 would have worked better. |

|
23... Bd8 |
Yikes! Here black should have absolutely interposed the queen. BxQ will prove extremely painful. Even |
