19. Qf4
|
Maneuvering a key piece into attack formation. |

|
|
|
19... Nf8
|
...c4 stops me from bringing in the knight, but only delays the inevitable attack. |

|
|
|
20. dxc5 Qxc5+ 21. Nd4
|
The check only facilitates the build-up of my army to their best squares. Now I need a rook and the attack will inevitably crash through. |

|
|
|
21... Qb6 22. Rf2
|
Patiently defending. |

|
|
|
22... Ng6 23. Bxg6
|
Removing a defender and opening a file for my heavy pieces. |

|
|
|
23... hxg6 24. Re3
|
The rook will come to g3 and the h-pawn will become the battering ram. |

|
|
|
24... a6 25. Rg3 Rcf8 26. h4 Rae8
|
Black's army is now positioned for the defense, but its too late. |

|
|
|
27. Rg5
|
Preparing Qg3 and h5, with a winning attack. |

|
|
|
27... f6
|
The first huge mistake. The g-file will now be the bullet in the gun. |

|
|
|
28. Rxg6 Bf7
|
Mate in 5. |

|
|
|
29. Rxg7+ Kxg7 30. Nf5+ Kg8 31. Qh6
|
Mate is unavoidable on g7. |

|
|
|
31... Bg6 32. Qg7#
|
Would have been a mate in five as Black had ...Qxf2 , postponing mate one more move. |
