32... Ne7 |
Ah is black finally getting aggressive? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Nxb8 |
Time to take out a rook and open up the line for my rook on the c-file. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Rxb8 |
Black no doubt took some small consolation in relieving me of one of my knights here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. Nxf7+ |
A little cheeky, but I really wanted to open up the centre to get those pawns marching. Grabbing the pawn and check was a bonus. | ||||||

Black's only move, where shall I put my knight, g5 looks good. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. d6 |
Better still, attack black's knight, and no I wasn't planning loosing my queen here... Kxf6 would be followed by a right royal pawn-fork e6!!! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Ng6 |
Black moves his knight, which wasn't really in danger. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36. Ng5 |
And now my knight comes down to g5 ready to allow my pawns to advance. | ||||||

Is this a last act of desperation? Black's king is now under threat as can be seen in the next move. Pawn's poised to reach the 8th, rooks and queen in support and a Knight waiting to the side covering f7. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Rc7 |
Rook on the 7th, Queen attacked, it's only a matter of formality now. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37... Qd8 |
Qe8 would have helped by keeping cover on f7, the one place next to the black-king I can force mate. Black so deperately needs to cover this square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38. Qc4+ |
And here is why! | ||||||

38... Kh8 |
Knight fork to win the queen for nothing and remove the last hope of any kind of defence for the king. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39. Nf7+ |
Ouch. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39... Kg8 |
Here it comes... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40. Nxd8+ |
Wallop. The king has to move back to h8 as f8 is mate with the queen. | ||||||

40... Kh8 |
But mate is imminent. I just need to get the queen up there safely. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
41. Nf7+ |
There's a really nicce mate here involving a queen sacrifice, though given the amount of material taken so far I'd hardly call it that. The rook then comes in and the Knight, the star of the game gets to make the checkmate. 42. ... Kg8 43. Nh6 (Kf8 is mate Qf6#) kh8 44. Qg8 Rxg8 45. Nf7# | ||||||
