11... Nxe4 |
! knight sac! White can't completely ignore it because Nxd2 forks Queen and Rook. The best thing to do is to move the Queen - but where? the only available moves are Qd3 and Qg4, and then Black simply plays Nxg5 for a great game | ||||

White accepts the sacrifice, allowing Black a powerful attack.... | ||||

Of course, the knight cannot be taken because Bxe4 wins the queen. Where can the queen move now then? if Qd3; 13.Qd3 Nf3+, then 14...Ne1+, winning the queen. If Qe3, Bxg5 forces the queen to d3 or g3, which are both bad squares for the queen. If g2 or h1, Nxe2+ wins the queen AND the knight. If Qh4, Bxg5 forces the queen either to g3 or.... | ||||

Instead of retreating the bishop, Black provides protection for it to maintain its influence | ||||

What can White do in this situation? | ||||

! The bishop cannot escape, because Black threatens mate in 2 | ||||

White doesn't see the threat, and after my next move, he resigned, but I'll play through the mate anyway... | ||||

Although the mistakes weren't obvious blunders (obvious blunders meaning moving the queen to where a pawn could take it), White mate two major mistakes over the course of this game (in particular moves 8-10) 1) 8.0-0? Just because White could have castled here doesn't mean he should have - and if he really wanted to castle, he shouldn't have played g4 2) 9.a3? and 10.c3??, these two moves blocked in his queenside pieces (notice how none of them had been developed at the end of the game) and allowed Black too much control of the board, which was how he was able to capture the queen | ||||
