23. Bg6+ Kd8 24. a5 Qa7 |
24. ...... Qa7 - Black's queen takes on a Glenda-like (defensive!) position. For the benefit of any new members of the Inquest Jury, my king is called Henry and my queen is called Glenda and my bishops are called Fou Leblanc and Fou Lenoir because of the light and dark squares they stand on! Anyhow, back to Freddy's game, that vulnerable e6 pawn now drops off. Although Freddy is a whole piece down he has an overwhelming position. | ||||

25. Nxe6+ Kd7 26. Qh3 |
26. Qh3 - at last Freddy's queen goes to the kingside with devastating effect. Just for starties Freddy is threatening a nasty discovered check with his knight. Black completes his development, on Move 26 would you believe, but it will avail him naught. | ||||

26... Be7 27. Rc5 Ba8 28. Rac1 |
28. Rac1 - here come the rooks, carrion methinks! | ||||

28... Nf6 29. d5 |
29. d5 - pawn stab, those carrion are espying a nice tasty dinner. Freddy hangs fire on that discovery though. | ||||

29... Nxd5 30. Rxd5 cxd5 31. Ng5+ |
31. Ng5+ - now comes the discovery. | ||||

31... Kd8 32. Nf7+ |
32. Nf7+ - here Master Bastalex waves the white flag despite being 5 whole material points up, why, well here is Variation A. 32. Nf7+ Nxf7 33. Rxc8#. Now for Variation B. 32. Nf7+ Ke8 33. Nxd6+ Kf8 34. Qxc8+ Bd8 35. Qxd8# . And here is Variation C - 32. Nf7+ Ke8 33. Nxd6+ Kd8 34. Rxc8# So, for the second time Master Bastalex, because of his esteemed Master Status has been allowed to avoid being Freddied by resignation, lucky him. Anyhow, well played Freddy! | ||||
