24. Rc3 |
Another interesting idea is 24. Qb5 as after Qxb5 axb5 leaves all of the black pieces are tied down. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... O-O |
?? A huge mistake as now the attack can finally come. Forced was Ne7 when white has blacked tied up but white still has to work. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Bf6 |
! Now the bishop comes into the attack with descisive effect. Probably best for black is Kh7 and Kh6 , trying to hold back the white queen , though eventually white will break through. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Ne7 |
? This last blunder now leads to forced mate due to the weak black king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Qe2 |
! The key move as now h5 can't be defended and the threats of Qh8 mate, Qg7 mate, and even Rg3 are imposssible to defend. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rc8 |
Trying to trade pieces and distract white from the mating threats. | ||||

27. Qxh5 |
Now black is in serious trouble as mate is threatened on h8 along with Rg3 check. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Kf8 |
Black's move is a last ditch effort to survive though even after Qh8 Ng8 Rg3 mate can't be avoided | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Qh6+ |
Black resigns as after Kg8 , Qg7 mate and after Ke8 Qh8 Ng8 Qxg8 mate. This game is a good game showing how sometimes the best way to refute a gambit is to decline it. If black declined the c2 pawn in this game the endgame would of been about equal but instead he got snared in the attack. Also remember if you have a big attack look for mate before accepting material. | ||||
