19. Kg2 Rae8 |
Threatening to march down the e-file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Reh1 |
?? The pawn on f2 is overextended. This will cost white at least a pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Re6xe3 |
f2xR leaves g3 defended once and attacked twice. QxR fares no better after... RxQ, FxR still leaves g underdefended. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. fxe3 |
And white has no defense. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Qxg3+ |
Spring the trap. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Kf1 |
only legal move | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Qxf3+ |
I have evened up in material and have destroyed white's defenses | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Ke1 |
kg8 fares no better after Ng5 threatening Qf7# | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Qxh1+ |
Wins a whole rook, Rxe6 works less well because white's best play gives me a queen and two pieces against two rooks and a biship in the end game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Qf1 |
Attempting to exchange queens to blunt the attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Qxh5 |
A pawn for free, I could not play Rxe6 because there's no good follow-up. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Kd2 Ng4 |
Threatening to fork queen and rook with Nxe6. White's best move here is probably Qh8, trying to blunt the attack by exchanging queens. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Qe2 |
Should have seen that a fork of rook and queen wasn't my only threat. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rxe3 |
I don't have to take with the knight. I'll happily trade a rook and a knight for a queen (and that may have been white's best move). | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Qg2 |
Protect the queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Bf4 |
But the best possible outcome is the loss of a rook after Rh8 RH3 , K moves, RxR, but that's the only way to save the queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Kc1 |
The only way to avoid mate, but it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to see the next move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Rg3+ |
white resigns. | ||||
