19. Qc2 |
On the contrary, it allows me to provoke g6, with a softening of Black's king-side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... g6 20. Rcf1 |
Lining up on the f-file. Already there is the possibility of RxP, QxP, RxQ, KxR, QxP . | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Rdf8 |
The rook comes back to his original square and defends. Black must cope with threats along the f-file, but also along the diagonal b1-h7. . | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Rf2f6 |
If the black queen did not control the h4-square, I could also try something like Rf4-h4, and if black plays h5, Rxh5! (Black cannot take, because of the mating threat Qh7#). | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Rcd8 22. Qf2 |
Bringing over the queen. | ||||

22... Kg7 |
I guess black wants to clear the back rank, but this is not a very good idea. Now White's hopes start to get realized. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Qg3 |
If Black plays 23. ...g5, then 24. h4. Another try for black could be 23. ... Rd2 with the idea Rxg2 winning the queen. In this case, the move 24. Bxg6 were not sufficient. But there would be 24. Rxg6 ! and whatever black answers (taking with the pawn or retreating the king), he will end up by being checkmated anyway: for example 24. ...fxg6, 25. Qxg6 Kh8, 26. Rxf8 Qxf8, 27. Qh7# . | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Bd5 |
Black sees this continuation, and keeps his rook on the back rank. Maybe the best try would have been 23. ...g5 and then 24. ...Rd2. | ||||

24. Bxg6 |
Now I have to take with the bishop in order to keep enough fire-power along the g-file. But there is no need for a check now (as after 23. ...Rd2)! | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... fxg6 |
If black does not take, then the bishop returns (25. Bb1), with or without check (if black retreats the king), anyway black is helpless. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Qxg6+ |
This is why 22. ...Kg7 was a bad idea. Black cannot put his queen in front of the queen and must retreat the king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Kh8 26. Qxh6+ |
Black resigned. If 26. ...Qh7, then 27. Rxf8 Rxf8, 28. Rxf8#. If 26. ...Kg8, then 27. Rg6 Qg7, 28. Qxg7#. | ||||
