15... Bg4 16. Qd5+ |
With the knight being pinned, Black doesnt have a lot of choice. The alternative move of Qf4 wouldnt have kept enough pressure on the king, and he could have then moved Kg8 and hidden away. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Kg6 |
There were only 2 moves. Kf8 or this one. I was hoping for Kf8, so I could BxP BxB QxB , and followed down with my rook to the 7th. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Qd3+ |
Keeping constant pressure on black. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Kh5 |
Black may have been able to encourage a draw if he went Kf7. Wasnt sure what else to do then to go back to d5 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. h3 |
This has a mate threat. QxB brings PxB and mate soon follows. | ||||||

18... Bd7 |
There may have been merit in Rg8 here, allowing white to win back a piece, but having its own threatening line to g2. e.g. Rg8, PxB , Nxg4... and the Muzio would have been reversed ! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Bxd6 |
I did this mainly because the pawn at d6 was stopping me going to e5 (so does the N at c6, but that's a lesser problem.) | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Bxd6 20. Qxd6 |
so i win a pawn, and the piece advantage lessens... positional advantage still strong for white. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Rhg8 |
I think black is 2 moves too late with this one, but it is definitely a good move. 1 move away from mate, so it needs reacting. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. g4+ |
This is the best I could come up with. Black is forced to lose a major here, but in exchange for 2 pawns maybe not a bad deal?? Positionally very dangerous, as white can threaten to h2, and with all those rooks open without pawns blocking their view. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Nxg4 |
As black, I would have taken with the bishop. I'm sure that 2000 players will disagree. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. hxg4+ Qxg4 |
This I think is a mistake from black. If he had this position, with the Knight here instead of the Queen... then it stops white with Qh2 . Also with the bishop, ...assuming he can eeek his King to safety for just 1 move, then Bf3 is followed immediately with Qg2 . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Re2 |
Qh2 would force a queen swap, and with this piece disadvantage white would surely lose (rooks lack freedom of movement due to h1). It also defends agains Qg2 I had to check very very carefully that this didnt somehow expose the F1 rook to a loss. | ||||||

23... Qh4+ |
Black anticipates h2 and wants to avoid giving away the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Rh2 Bh3 |
Note the need for constant pressure again from white. Qe4 !! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Qd5+ Rg5 |
Kh6 would have been better as we will see.. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Qf3+ |
This was to win the blackbishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Bg4 |
I'm not sure why black did that..g6 seemed safer (my response would have been Qf7 , Kh6, Rf6 .... maybe ending in a draw) I also see often in Muzio mistakes like this from the oppositon, just due to the mental drainage. When you defend against this, it is very tiring. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Rxh4+ Kxh4 |
finally...small piece advantage, and good position... only took 27 moves! | ||||||

28. Qf2+ Kh5 29. Qf7+ Kh6 30. Rf6+ Rg6 |
from here I was also a little tired and saw only the easy route.. I have the piece advantage, swap down and grab free pawns where possible. There were probably better ways. | ||||||
