this allows me to attack his rook while freeing up my queen to take care of his own bishop |

|
|
|
11... Bg7
|
but he solves both problems in one move by darting quickly back into place |

|
|
|
12. Bxg7
|
so i settle for a bishop exchange that will at least force his king out of hiding a bit |

|
|
|
12... Kxg7
|
he takes it and i'm down 3 points in materials |

|
|
|
13. Qc2
|
now that i've lost one rook, time to at least free the other |

|
|
|
13... axb5
|
he finally takes that pawn trade |

|
|
|
14. Qb2+
|
and since the knight is now unprotected i decide to use a check to give me some breathing room to jockey for position |

|
|
|
14... Kg8
|
he gets out of check and back to safety |

|
|
|
15. Nxb5
|
and i get the knight out of danger and into action |

|
|
|
15... Bxe4
|
he finally takes that unprotected pawn that's been sitting there through all this, and gets his bishop into good attacking position |

time to chase off the bishop |

|
|
|
16... Bc6
|
so he flees to where he can do another piece trade if he wants it |

|
|
|
17. Qb3
|
while i'm setting the queen for an assault on the king's hiding spot back there |

|
|
|
17... e5
|
finally his queen is free to join the action, and considering how much damage he's done without her, that can't be good |

protects that knight at g5, and with one more move i could be in a position for mate unless he notices |

which he probably does, and decides to chase off the knight from its annoying perch |

but in doing so he's missed that he could lose a rook to this fork, a first little mistake for him |

|
|
|
19... Qe7
|
the queen ducks out of danger |

|
|
|
20. Nxf8
|
and i grab that rook, sacrificing the knight |

|
|
|
20... Qxf8
|
and that's that, the exchanges have quieted down and it's once again my prerogative to go on the attack |
