19... cxb6 20. Qe3 |
This move attacks the pawn on h6 and is the first step towards a potential mate. While playing the game I thought that defending with 20...g5 doesn't work because I can simply take with the knight: 21. Nxg5. And if 21...hxg5 22. Qxg5+ leading to mate the next move. But Black has 21...Bxc2, slowing me down. | ||||

20... Kh7 21. Rd4 c5 |
Here it is, the move that threw me off. My plan was to put the rook on h4 and put a heap of pressure on White's kingside defenses. Black attacks my rook and plays right into my hands. I was going to put the rook on h4, so now I'll do just that. But if I had stopped and taken the time to look at this position I might have instead seen a beautiful forced mate: 22. Qxh6+! If 22...Kxh6 23. Rh4# If 22...Kg8 23. Qh8# | ||||

22. Rh4 |
Oh well, it's not a mate in 2, but the rook on h4 is still very hard to deal with for Black. | ||||

22... h5 23. Qg5 |
It's almost over now. I'm threatening Rxh5+ and mate the next move. | ||||

23... Bg4 |
The bishop defends h5, but it won't be able to keep things together. | ||||

This is really meaningless. My king can get out of checks easily, and mate will follow soon. | ||||

It's over at this point, there's no way to stop mate. | ||||

Black resigned because both legal moves lead to an immediate mate. 27...gxh5 28. Qg7# 27...Kg8 28. Rh8# | ||||
