11... e5 |
Black plays the tempting e5, weakening d5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. Bg5 Nd7 |
Black needs to be careful not to fianchetto his bishop because his d-pawn is very weak, especailly after I double my rooks on the d-file. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Rad1 h6 |
Remember this is a fast time control game, so Black doesn't have time to think of a way to improve his cramped position. He's just making fast moves that attack me. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. Be3 |
I'm eyeing the weak square b6. When playing the Morra Gambit, always prey upon weak squares on Black's third rank. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... b5 |
Trying to uncramp his position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Bb3 Qb8 |
Black can't think of anything to do. This is because of his heavily cramped position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Nd5 |
My knight is strong on the weak d5-square, while it joins with my bishop's attack on the weak b6-square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Bb7 17. Nh4 |
I can freely maneuver my pieces to an attacking position, while all Black can do is maneuver his cramped pieces on his back ranks. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Bg7 |
Further weakening the d-pawn, but Black probably just wants to castle here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Nb6 |
Attacking the weak d-pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nxb6 19. Bxb6 Bf8 |
Black's dark bishop is the only thing capable of defending the pawn, so Black cannot fianchetto his bishop like he was intending. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qf3 |
Look how much territory and control my pieces have. Now Black has to struggle to defend f7. It doesn't really feel like I'm down a pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Rh7 21. Qf6 |
I have a tactical threat of Nxg6 fxg6 Qxg6 winning the rook. Black tries to make a counter threat on the next move but it turns out to be a blunder. Blunders are common when you're in a cramped position and can't do anything. Black could've tried Rg7, which would leave me with a more complicated win that I would have to work harder for. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Bc8 |
Black thinks he is fine since he is attacking my bishop, but he is handing me an easier win, since he has overlooked my tactic. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Bc5 |
I am pounding on Black's weak d-pawn, and he cannot take because of Rd8 Nxd8 Rxd8# | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qc7 |
Black stops my threat of Nxg6 by moving his queen to the 7th rank to defend his rook. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Bxd6 |
Now that I have gotten my pawn back, I can be comfortable with my attack since Black doesn't have the pawn to compensate for his cramped position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Bxd6 24. Rd2xd6 |
Now I'm attacking his knight, the only defender stopping my tactical mating threat on d8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Bb7 |
Black defends the knight while adding another defender to d8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Nxg6 |
It's time to break through to Black's hopeless passive cramped position and put him out of his misery. | ||||||
| | |||||||
