12. Ne4 |
Now Nd6 looks nasty, but I have no desire to exchange my beautiful knight for his beastly bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... O-O |
?? If ever there was an example of castling into it... yeesh. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. O-O |
?! Not so efficient on my part. Although I wind up doing just fine, I should've just pressed ahead with the attack. Still, it can't be TOO bad to shore up your own king's protection before pressing ahead with your attack? | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nc7 |
Too slow, but I'm not sure there is a good defense at this point. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nfg5 |
! Good move, forcing weaknesses in the black kingside. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Nd5 |
? Missing the point. Black should've moved a kingside pawn to try to defend. White has a lot of threats now, like Qh5 threatening mate, but I wanted something more forcing. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nxh7 |
! Alright, maybe it doesn't deserve an exclam, but it sets up the beautiful 16th move for white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Kxh7 |
...with a little help from black. Black could've held out longer (slightly) by not taking. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Nf6+ |
!! Double check. Black has no choice but to move the king back to h8, which is met by Qh5#. Interestingly enough, despite losing this game, megarex currently has the advantage against me in our other game! | ||||
| | |||||

16... Kh8 17. Qh5# |
1-0. A nice lesson on the dangers of neglecting your development -- minors before majors! | ||||
