21... Qf6 22. Bxg7 Qxg7 23. b5 |
it doesn't matter he can attack the bishop and save, even if i moved the bishop, he'd move a knight... | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Ne5 |
i agonised over this for a long time... i seriously looked into Qh7 , but i just couldn't see how i could make it work for me... i wanted the queens off the board so i could get on with advancing the pawns, my only hope... | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. bxa6 |
! the problem with Qh7 was that black would then come out of the exchange with a tempo, and had he played b6 before i could take the pawn, my c pawn is blocked from advancing... this way, i come out of the exchange with one more passed pawn... | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Qxg6 |
! wise... after 24... Nxg6 25. axb7 Rb8 26. Qf3 and i have a protected pawn on the seventh with another pawn close behind to back it up... | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Qxg6+ |
this surprised my opponent... he though i would want to avoid the queen trade, since i am down material... i felt the less pieces on the board, the more chance i have of holding him off and pushing my pawns... also, it was crucial that i kept the initiative so i could claim his b-pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Nxg6 26. axb7 |
and that's why i traded... c4 is now a passed pawn... | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rb8 27. c5 |
strengthen my pawn on d6... | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Rxb7 28. Rc1 |
threatening c6, winning a piece... | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Bc6 |
sensible... blocks the pawn and points at g2... | ||||
| | |||||
|
29. Nd2 |
discovered attack with late development... | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Bb2 |
not the strongest of moves, but black obviously did not see the danger ahead... | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Rb1 |
! saves the pawn... | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Bxa3 |
? ...but unfortunately black doesn't realise it... the losing move... there was much more chess to be played, i have absolutely no idea who would've won the endgame had black played a safer move than this one... if anyone feels like analysing it, please feel free and share with me your findings...! personally, i felt Bd4 was stronger, i'd have had to return my rook to c1... | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Rxb7 |
and the reason a3 should've been safe... | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Bxb7 |
what else is there? 31... Bxc5 32. Rc7 and black has lost a bishop and rook for two pawns, and still has the kingside pawns to contend with... anything else and i get away with a whole rook... | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. d7 |
black resigns... now the error of Bxa3 is clear... his bishops are fatally out of position... black cannot stop promotion... maybe if it were my last pawn that promoted, he might've tried holding out for the draw, but this is an easy win now... with his king out in the open, his pieces are just begging to be picked off by the agile queen... and even if he did manage to hold off the queen, i'd just advance another pawn until he breaks... so... a question i hope someone can answer for me... should 15. b4 be a ?, !, or a ?! move...? i have no idea if it was a good move or a bad move... i just know it turned this game on its head... hope you enjoyed the game. | ||||
