14... Be6 15. h4 Qd7 |
A cheap threat of Bh3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Rf2 |
I calmly stop his threat. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... b5 17. h5 |
Black will be lost in a few moves, because he isn't defending or counterattacking. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... a5 |
Black's queenside attack attempt is nothing. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Rf4 |
I should've played this earlier, because I need my rook on the h-file to complete my attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Bb6 |
Clearly Black has no idea what to do and is making random moves. Either he underestimates my strong attack, or he can't find suitable defensive moves and is waiting to lose. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Rh4 c5 |
Another passive move is all it takes to lose. Now Black probably can't recover. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. g6 |
This pawn cannot be captured, because after I recapture, Black is in big trouble on the wide open h-file after Qh2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Nf6 21. h6 |
Now my attack is too much. One way or another, I will open the h-file and pile it with my heavy pieces. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... gxh6 |
A better chance is fxg6, but Black is still lost because after hxg7, an array of tactical threats will beat Black to a pulp. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Bxh6 |
There are probably many ways to win here. I thought about playing g7, and Rxh6, but once I knew I had a winning position, I didn't really care how I finished it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Rfc8 |
This move loses immediately, although Black can't really do anything else. If he leaves his rook hanging, I will still have a lot of tactical threats, and Black doesn't have any possibilities for a counterattack, since my king is perfectly safe, despite having no pawn cover. Although my king may become weak if Black survives my attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. gxf7+ |
Black can resign now. He is going to be mated soon, but in case he didn't resign, the last moves are conditional moves. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Kxf7 |
Kh8 and Kh7 get mated by Qg7#. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Qg7+ |
But Black is still going to be mated. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Ke8 25. Qf8# |
Even if Black wasn't blocked in my his own queen, I'd still be forking his knight. | ||||
