11. Qa4 |
White increases the pressure along the diagonal. The threat is to win another piece by capturing on c6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
11... a5 |
A threat that black ignores. Black needed to play 11. ...Ne7 or 11. ...Nb8. | ||||||

12. Bxc6 |
White is now up a second piece, which is an overwhelming material superiority. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... Ra7 |
This move takes the rook out of the bishop's attack, but the rook has no future here. Notice how limited the rook's mobility is, and remember that mobility is power! | ||||||
| | |||||||

White wants to bring another piece into the action. When ahead in pieces trade them, because each trade increases the extent of the material advantage. | ||||||

13... Qh4+ |
A check which is easily parried, but it is difficult to suggest any improvement for black. | ||||||

The white king is in no danger. | ||||||

14... Qe7 |
The queen must return or the bishop on d7 would've been lost. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Nf5 |
White takes advantage of the pin on the bishop on d7 to attack the queen again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Qf8 |
Although this move quards the g-pawn it deprives the d7 bishop of a defender. This results in the loss of still more material. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Bxd7+ |
This is starting to get serious. | ||||||

16... Kd8 |
The only move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Bg5+ |
The black king comes under more pressure. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... f6 |
The only try. 17. ...Be7 loses the house to 18. Bxe7 . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. exf6 |
Trying to pry open more lines to attack the king with. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... gxf6 |
Again, the only try. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Bh6 |
If white cannot attack the king, attacking the queen is a good alternative. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Qf7 20. Bg7 |
20. Bc6 is probably better, but white was looking for a quicker win. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Qxd7 |
20. ...Rg8 was the only way to avoid the loss of more material. | ||||||

This is an intermediate move. An intermediate move is one that you make prior to making a capture that you were going to make anyway. White was going to take the black queen, but why not pick up another pawn first? | ||||||
