26. Nxc3
|
White accepts by unusually offering to sweeten the pot for me by throwing in the Knight for a Pawn exchange as part of the bargain. |

|
|
|
26... bxc3
|
I oblige, and |

|
|
|
27. Bc1
|
White retreats anticipating capturing the Knight on g 5 later. |

|
|
|
27... c2
|
But I change her order of priorities. |

|
|
|
28. Qd2
|
A natural move. |

|
|
|
28... Qb7
|
My answer is seemingly innocuous, but it is designed to give me access to a forced check and a series of checks to mate. If White was to prevent the ensuing loss, she would have to at this juncture take the Knight. |

|
|
|
29. Ra2
|
Instead, my pawn got her attention |

|
|
|
29... Qxf3+
|
So here the game comes to a quick and forced end point. Check! |

|
|
|
30. Kg1 Qxg3+
|
Check! |

|
|
|
31. Kh1 Qxh4+
|
Check! (and a Pawn) |

|
|
|
32. Qh2
|
So White offers her Queen in exchange |

|
|
|
32... Qxe1+
|
I turn her down with check! (and a Castle) |

|
|
|
33. Qg1
|
Once again the offer of the Queen exchange |

|
|
|
33... Bb7+
|
This time a Bishop check that ensures the capture of the Queen on the way to mate. White sees the writing on the wall and resigns. |
