33... b5 34. Qe6+ |
Driving the king away from the center before taking the rook. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
34... Kb7 |
The only move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35. exd8=Q Qxd8 36. Nc3 |
Bringing the knight to the action instead of dxc5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
36... cxd4 37. Nxd5 d3 38. cxd3 |
Taking is essential because the king needs to remain on the white squares and off the c file. The black queen is on the dark squares, meaning no direct checks on a diagonal. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
38... Qg5 |
The last chance at play, the queen leaves the king alone. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
39. Qd7+ |
Mate in 3. Corraling the king while avoiding direct lines with the black queen. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
39... Ka6 |
If 39...Ka8 then 40.Qc8 mate. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
40. Qc6+ Ka5 |
Note the pieces involved in the mate. The b3 pawn, the knight, the queen, and one more piece is needed - the bishop at c7 to finish. | |||||

A fun game against my portable opponent where I was able to practice some tactics and try some ideas against an opening that I haven't really tried much with. | |||||
