17.Nxg7 would have given White the initiative. | ||||

17... Bxf5 |
I'm glad to have gotten rid of this Knight even at the cost of weakening my pawn structure. | ||||

19.Qxh5 fails to Bd3. That's one practical drawback of White's 10th. | ||||

19... Bxe3 20. Nxe3 Bg6 21. Bf3 |
Starting an ill-conceived plan to win a pawn. Better would have been Nc4, exploiting the weak dark squares. | ||||

21... e4 |
Creating an outpost on e5, opening a dangerous diagonal against the White King, clearing the 5th rank, creating a weak spot at f3, this pawn advance is one multipurpose move. It also invites White to take the h5 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Bxh5 |
Retreating to g2 would have still left Black better because of aforementioned ideas behind e4, this wins a pawn at the cost of losing a castle defender. | ||||

22... Bxh5 23. Qxh5 Ne5 |
Threatening mate in two. Black has more than enough for the pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Ng4 |
White had attacking ideas of his own. If it wasn't for the mate threat, White could threaten mate himself with Nf6+. But the Knight is tied to the defense of h2. | ||||

24... Nf3+ |
I felt that Black was winning once I managed to get my Knight to f3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Kh1 |
Kg2 was stronger because he could defend h2 with a Rook and start activity on his own. | ||||

|
25... Ra5 |
Good thing my pawn was on a4. Now Rxg5 is the threat, trapping the Queen. | ||||

26. h4 |
No other way of defending g5. But now the Ng4 is less secure and and h4 pawn is also weak. | ||||

26... Rf5 |
Now not only Rf4 is threatened but g6 as well. White's K-side is in shambles. His attacking pieces are huddled in a corner and his King is feeling the cold shiver of mate. | ||||

Offering the exchange for the Nf3 and attacking prospects. | ||||

27... g6 |
This traps the Queen as after 28.Qh6 Rf4, White can't save his Queen without getting matted. | ||||
