15... Ng6 16. Bg3 |
Not wanting to exchange bishop for knight here. The two bishops side by side are a strong battery. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Nf6 17. Rad1 |
The rook on the same file as an opponents queen, again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... c6 18. Nc3 |
Better developing the knight. A knight gains strength every rank it advances generally till the 7th rank. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Bg4 19. d5 Bxf3 20. Rxf3 |
The exchange gives white the half open file he wanted. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... cxd5 21. cxd5 |
and now white has an isolated pawn as well as apastpawn, or is that passed pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||

Why not. It makes her move again. #10 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qa6 23. Bd4 |
Moving to join the king side attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Nd7 |
Not wanting Bxf6, gxf6 which opens up the castled position. Black's queen can't help due to the rook on f3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Qf5 Nb6 |
Attacking the future dangerous pawn. Notice how this move blocks black's queen from helping with king side defense if needed. The black queen can only move to a5 or c4 now. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Qg5 |
Do you see white's plan? Take a moment and ask why the queen moved here. The answer will follow. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Rad8 |
Attacking twice at d5 but guarded twice, so no need to react here by guarding it more. Now white is able to do his plan. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. h4 |
Trying to force the knight away and its mate at g7. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... h6 |
Forcing the queen away. But she stays on the same file to keep pressure on the knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Qg3 Nxd5 |
Black grabs the pawn as its only guarded once now that the white queen moved. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. h5 |
but white continues his plan. The knight is toast as it can't move due to mate after. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Nxc3 29. bxc3 |
Here black has a somewhat saving move. She could of played Rxd4 which removes the mate threat. It looses material (5 for 3) for a deficit of 2 points. cxd4 then allows the knight to move which keeps the castled position intact. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Qxa2 30. hxg6 fxg6 |
This way opens up the black fortress and looses more material 4 vs 1 for a deficit of 3 points. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. Qxg6 Rf7 32. Rdf1 |
Also playable was Rd2 if Qxd2 then Qxf7ch, Kh8, Qxg7mate. | ||||||

32... Rdf8 |
This move gives it to white. Better was moving the f rook sideways. White would still have the much better game. This allows a wholesale trade off of pieces and white comes out with a bishop up still. When down material don't trade off as you limit your options to pull off a swindle or a perpetual check to save the game. | ||||||
