14... Bf7 15. Qd2 |
Not only do I threaten Black's knight, but also have a sneaky attack on the h6 pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Nf6 |
Threatens my e-pawn to counter my threat on his h-pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bxh6 fxe4 |
Taking with the knight allows me to trade my unimportant c3-knight for his kingside defending knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Bxg7 Kxg7 |
If exf3, then Bxf8 wins an exchange. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Qg5 |
This counterthreat is much stronger than passively moving my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Be8 19. Nh4 |
I'm not interested in taking on e5, which complicates the game. I'd much rather play it safe while I have an attack going. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Ned5 |
Black wants to block my rook's escape path and challenge it's defender, the c5-pawn, but my attack will be complete before then. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Bc4 |
Putting more pressure on d5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... b6 |
Black is underestimating my kingside attack, and will lose quickly. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Nf5+ |
I don't need to answer Black's threats when I have strong piece play against his king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Kh8 22. Nxd5 Nxd5 |
Taking with the pawn allows me to win a piece by taking on f6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Qh6+ |
Attacking the king and rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Kg8 24. Rxd5 |
Black may as well resign now. I'm threatening discovered check, and once he takes my rook, it's mate in 2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... cxd5 25. Bxd5+ Rf7 |
Bf7 and Qf7 leave Black with the same fate. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Qg7# |
If you didn't see this mate, then you should probably start practicing to recognize pinned pieces better. | ||||
