21. Bxc5 Qxc5+ 22. Kh1 Rd4 |
Whoops! He left the back door wide open....... | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Qa8+ Kc7 24. Qxh8 Qc6+ |
After winning a rook, I realize that my king better tighten up his laces because he's about to start doing a lot of running. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Kg1 Qc5 26. Rf2 |
Seeing the danger of a discovered check, but severely restricting this rook's effectiveness. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rxf4 27. Rbf1 Rxg4+ 28. Kh1 Qc6+ 29. Rf2f3 |
My opponent is pinning me left and right. My material advantage is pretty worthless right now. I have to get my queen back in the game! | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Rf4 30. Kg2 g4 |
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Qxh7 |
Trying to get my lady back into the fray. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... gxf3+ 32. Kg3 |
Now I get at least ONE move avoiding a check, but at the cost of losing another pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... Qxc4 33. Rxf3 |
Taking back a pawn and trying to create some space for my leader to hide. | ||||
| | |||||
|
33... Rg4+ 34. Kh3 Rf4 35. Rb3 Qf1+ 36. Kg3 Qf2+ 37. Kh3 Rf3+ |
Forcing the rook exchange. | ||||
| | |||||
|
38. Rxf3 Qxf3+ 39. Kh4 Kc6 40. Qc2+ |
Now my queen is back in play, but I'm still a pawn down and if my king has to move another square he will surely fall over from exhaustion. | ||||
| | |||||
|
40... Kd5 41. Qa4 |
Not sure what I was thinking here. A forced queen exchange surely cannot be good for me. | ||||
| | |||||
|
41... Qe4+ 42. Qxe4+ Kxe4 43. Kg5 |
And there is the move! My h pawn can now start running:) | ||||
| | |||||
|
43... Kxe5 |
Big mistake. Black's king is now on the a1-h8 diagonal, and I'm gonna queen on h8! | ||||
| | |||||
|
44. h4 f5 45. h5 f4 46. h6 f3 47. h7 f2 48. h8=Q+ |
Mission accomplished. Now it's time to pick off the f and e pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
48... Ke4 49. Qh1+ Ke3 50. Qf1 Kf3 51. Kf6 |
And black resigned. A well played game by my opponent up until 43...Kxe5. He was very gracious in defeat, and a true gentleman. One of my better performances in quite a while:) | ||||
