Annotated by:

Chess opening:
Petrov (C43), modern attack, main line
|
|
16... Qa5
|
This loses queen for knight and a rook, but white is threatening mate so...
16...Qe6 is slightly better but black still loses her majestety: 17.Nf6 gxf6 18.Rg4 Qxg4 (18...Kh8 19.Qd4! h5 20.Qxf6 Qxf6 21.Bxf6 Kh7 22.Bd3 Kh6 23.Bg7# is the point) and now black has an extra tempo compared to the game continuation. |

17. Nf6+
|
! |

|
|
|
17... gxf6
|
Kh8 can be ansvered with Nxh7 |

|
|
|
18. Rg4+ Qg5 19. Bxf6
|
The bishop at this square is a monster and completely decides the game. It should be mentioned, that the simple 19.Rxg5 fxg5 can be followed with 20.Qd4! f6 21.Bc4 Kh8? 22.Qxf6 Rxf6 23.Bxf6#. Instead allowing the queen sac black should play 21...Kg7. I didn't bother calculating all those murky lines, as the black king has more moves. Besides, I had already found a winning method simple enough. |

|
19... Qxg4 20. hxg4
|
Now black will find it impossible to parry the threat of 21.Rxh7. |

|
|
|
20... Nc6
|
It's quite the same what black moves here. |

|
|
|
21. Rxh7
|
Now white mates shortly |

|
|
|
21... Kxh7 22. Qd3+ Kh6
|
22...Kg8 23.Qh3 and mate next move. |

|
|
|
23. g5#
|
This mate is prettier though! |
