14... Na6 |
14...Nd5 ends in total disaster. Try to see why. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nbd6+ |
I take away Black's right to castle, while forking his pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Kf8 16. Nxb7 |
Now if queens are traded, I'll be much better because I won't be down a pawn, and I'll still have the compensation giving up the pawn gave me on move 10. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Qc8 17. Nba5 |
Moving the other knight to a5 may have been better because then I'd have Rc1. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... h6 |
There isn't much Black can do in this position without getting tactically destroyed, so I guess he plans to castle by hand and hope he finishes development before my already active forces reach maximum attacking potential, but he has overlooked my next move. If you can guess what it is, give yourself a pat on the back. | ||||

18. Rxe7 |
Tactics like this are common in positions where the tactic victim is underdeveloped or has a weak king. Notice that this sacrifice cannot be accepted because of Kxe7 Qd6 Ke8 Re1 Qe6 Rxe6 fxe6 Qxe6 and Black will be mated after Kf8 Bd6# or Kd8 Nc6#, so Black must accept the loss of a pawn. | ||||

|
18... Kg8 19. Nd6 |
More tempo gains. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Qc5 |
My knight is under attack, but I don't have to play passively because of it, I can simply make a bigger tactical threat to counter the attack on my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Qb3 |
Now it's mate in 2 if Black takes my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Kh7 21. Rxf7 |
This is where Black signed his own death warrant. He thinks he can leave his f-pawn hanging because he's attacking my knight, but I have more tactics. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Qxa5 |
My next winning move probably isn't hard to see by White, but can be easily overlooked by Black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Rxg7+ |
Black must be pissed now that he took my free knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Kxg7 |
It's over now. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Qf7# |
Black is blocked in by his own undeveloped rook. | ||||
