14... Nxe7 15. Rxh8 |
...but wins the exchange as well, while retaining a dominant position AND a strong attack. Black is busted. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... a6 |
Black is trying to get those last two pieces into the game... | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Be2 |
While white plays to mate the defenseless black king. | ||||

|
16... e4 |
? Black may be lost anyway, but what is the point of this move?? He should've played b5, which would at least have been consistent. | ||||

|
17. f4 |
If black leaves this pawn alone, this move prevents black's king from running anywhere onto the 5th rank. | ||||

|
17... b5 |
Should have played this last move I think. But, as Def Leppard says, "But it's too late..." | ||||

18. Re8 |
<wah-waaah wah-waaah!> | ||||

18... Kf6 |
"too late..." (protecting the knight; note that if the knight moves instead, the Bc8 falls) | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Rf8+ |
<wah-WAAH!> (forces the king back to g6) | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Kg6 |
"too late..." (forced) | ||||

20. h4 |
<wah-wa-da-daaaah> | ||||

20... Bb7 |
? "TOO LATE FOR LOVE!" Oblivious to the nasty threat contained in h4; black's best hope was to play h5. | ||||
| | |||||

21. h5+ |
! Black resigns, 1-0. Black has only one legal move, and after Kh6, 22. Nf7 is mate. Truly a punishing lesson on the dangers of falling behind in development! | ||||
