26. Kxh2 Qf4+ |
I could always hope he loses his head and plays Kh3??? But I expect either Rg3 or, more likely, g3. | |||||

27. g3 |
This is what I thought. Now, Qxf3 would be great, if there weren't that pesky Qxe6 followed by Qg6# looming over the position. There is one last desperate chance for a draw, though... | |||||

27... Rh1+ |
!? If Kxh1, Qxf3 !, and the white king cannot escape the checks! | |||||

28. Kg2 |
Argh! After Rg2 , now white can play Kxg2, and black has nothing good, and will lose to Qf8 no matter what when the checks run out. Qxc4 just loses to Qf8 , and I've really got no good moves at all now. Black resigns, 1-0. But this goes to show if I just improve a little and can control my hyper-aggressive impulses, maybe I can hang with these guys?! | |||||
