20. Bc3 |
Okay, I thought. Makes me do what I wanted to do anyway. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Bg7 21. Qf3 |
Ugh! Great move by white. What can I do to save the knight? Qe7? That allows Qxc6+. I can't move it because of Bxg7. I was hating my position at this point, as you can imagine. It's all because I was a tempo or two behind due to having to keep moving my queen earlier. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Ke7 |
So I save my knight, for now. I was hoping to bring my h rook over and into the game, but I'm too exposed and white knows it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Bd4 |
Allowing for Bc5+ | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qc7 |
Dumb! At least Qb5 would have prevented the check at c5. I can't imagine what I was thinking here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Bc5+ Ke8 |
Back to where I was before . . . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Bd6 |
Ugh. I felt a bit like resigning. I can't castle, I'm about to lose the exchange, and I have no threats . . . . Well done on white's part. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Qb6 25. Bxb8 Qxb8 |
Poo. Now what? I'd like to get my rook into the game, my king to a safer place, but white has the initiative and material advantage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Qxc6+ |
Especially now! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Kf8 27. Qc5+ Kg8 28. Qg5 |
Smart move, pinning my Knight. I'd like to get it into action and open the long diagonal for my bishop, but I can't because of the threat of Rd8+ forking my king and queen (protected by his queen at g5. If I play Nd5, then white plays c4. What an awful position! Who wants to bet on black to win this game??? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... h6 |
Go away. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Qa5 |
Renews the threat of Rd8, so . . . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Kh7 30. Rd2 h5 |
I'd like to spear the white rook and king. He'll never let me though . . . | ||||||

31. f4 |
Bottling me up for several moves to come. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Ne4 |
This helps prevent R1d1 which would increase pressure on d8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32. Rd7 |
f7 is a sitting duck . . . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Nf2 |
But this prevents R1d1 again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Rf1 Ne4 34. Rxf7 Rd8 |
I think white should have called my bluff here and played Rd1. I'd almost have to trade rooks, and he'd be further ahead after simplifying the board. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. Re1 |
But he keeps harassing my knight, spearing the pawn at e6. He's got such a lead, it makes sense to just whittle me down. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Nd6 |
So I harass his pieces. I think even Rxg7 here would give him a better game. | ||||||
