23... Kh7 24. Rc7 |
24. Rc7 - oh dear, yet another blunder, but at the time I was still pre-occupied with material stripping. Here is gameknot's analysis:- Blunder: +21.21 » 24. Rc7 Rb8 25. Rxc8 Rxc8 26. Qxc8 Ne7 27. Qd7 Nd5 28. e7 Nxe7 29. Rxe7 Kh8 30. Rxg7 Best: +28.00 » 24. Rd8 Bd7 25. Qg8+ Kg6 26. Rxa8 Bc8 27. Rxc8 Ne7 28. Qe8+ Kh7 29. Qxe7 a6 30. Qe8 a5 31. Qg8+ Kg6 32. Qf7+ Kh7 33. Rxc6 | ||||

25. Qxc6 |
25. Qxc6 - unbelievably this is a blunder, I mean a queen forking two pieces and it's a blunder, why? Well, yet again I overlook a forced mate, this time in 9 moves! Blunder: +25.92 » 25. Qxc6 Bb7 26. Qxd6 b4 27. Qd3+ Kh8 28. e7 Re8 29. Qg6 Bd5 30. cxb4 a6 31. Qxe8+ Kh7 32. Nh4 Bxa2 Best: +Mate(9) » 25. Qe7 Bd7 26. exd7 Rd8 27. Qxd8 Kg6 28. Qf8 Nf7 29. Qxf7+ Kxf7 30. d8=Q+ Kg6 31.

25... Bxe6 |
25. ...... Bxe6 - mate in 7 is still on thanks to this move:- Blunder: +Mate(7) » … Bxe6 25. Rxe6 Rd8 26. Rxd6 Rxd6 27. Qxd6 Kg6 28. Qg3+ Kf5 29. Nd4+ Ke4 30. Qe3+ Kd5 31. Qe6# Best: +25.92 » … Bb7 25. Qxd6 b4 26. Qd3+ Kh8 27. e7 Re8 28. Qg6 Bd5 29. Qxe8+ Kh7 30. cxb4 a6 31. Nh4 Bxa2 | ||||

26. Qxa8 |
26. Qxa8 - Goodness me, Glenda has done a lot of gorging on enemy pieces today. If she is not careful she may be too heavy for her broomstick - maybe she should book a few sessions with Slimming World! The good news there for Henry is that on the Original Plan, P(r)awns are Sin Free, provided they are NOT served in a Marie Rose sauce! | ||||

26... Bc4 27. Qxa7 h5 28. Rxg7+ |
28. Rxg7+ - at last I see the Winning Post. At this point Graham told me he was running out of options. I then announced mate as follows:- "Hi Graham, I'm afraid you only have 2 options and they lead to your copping Old Matey, viz:- Variation A 28. Rxg7+ Kh8 29. Rh7+ Kg8 30. Qg7# Variation B 28. Rxg7+ Kh6 29. Rh7+ Kg6 30. Qg7+ Kf5 31. Nd4+ Kf4 32. g3# It is up to you but you do not have to play this out. Joanne" | ||||

|
28... Kh6 |
28. ....... Kh6 - Graham decided to play out Variation B. #5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
29. Rh7+ Kg6 |
29. ..... Kg6 - #4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Qg7+ Kf5 |
30. ..... Kf5 - when I was analysing before I set up the conditional moves and made the dreaded announcement to Graham, I thought that I was trying to solve one of gameknot's daily puzzles, particularly when I noticed Nd4+! It is now #3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Nd4+ |
31. Nd4+ - there is now only one square available for the Bk and that is f4, and now my humble pawn on g2 advances just one square ........ | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Kf4 32. g3# |
32. g3 MATE!! - ..... and delivers the Coup De Grace. Hope you have had a good read of this - it is so nice to see pieces work together to deliver the final blow! There are a few more annotations yet to come! | ||||
