22... Rg6 |
Forcing me to take his queen, but who does that really benefit? | |||||

23. Qxe7+ Kxe7 |
Interesting. I also considered that he might play Bxe7. In either case, do you see how both of our bishops are lined up with enemy rooks, blocked only by the e4 pawn? | |||||

24. Rh1h7 |
I decide if I fix this for myself, I can play e5, and try to trap his rook. | |||||

24... e5 |
Prevents me from playing e5, but allows the knight to invade. | |||||

25. Nd5+ |
! A good but obvious move! Now, black's king is being told to run, losing him the f7 pawn. (Because if Ke8, 26. Rxf8 Kxf8 27. Rh8 Rg8 28. Nf6 !) | |||||

25... Bxd5 |
Oops. This is devastating for black. White now has exd5, and black's rook is trapped! The only option that doesn't result in immediate capture, Rg7, fails to 26. Rxg7 Bxg7 27. Rxc8, and black is down a rook in the endgame. Black resigns, and I have the privilege of taking down an 1800 player, something I haven't done in awhile! Thanks for the game, and comments, as always, are welcome! | |||||
