20... Qd8 21. Nc7 |
Now it is Black's rook's turn to feel White's dominance. It can only safely move to b8. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Rb8 22. Qc4 |
Chessmaster now threatens to checkmate with 23. Qf7#. Unfortunately for Black, he must sacrifice a piece to get out of it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Nd5 23. Qxd5 Ke7 24. Rxf4 |
Now it's White doing the sacrificing. You'll soon see why. | ||||

24... exf4 25. Nf5+ |
Amazing. Chessmaster is seemingly giving away free pieces. Black could move his king to f6, but he wouldn't last long. | ||||

25... gxf5 26. exf5+ |
White's plan is revealed. 25. exf5 gives check, and so White's rook can now attack the Black king as well. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Kf6 27. Qd6+ Kg5 |
Black could move to f7, but that would leave him exposed to White delivering checkmate within a few moves using the bishop. | ||||

28. Qg6+ |
Black's king is being driven down into White's territory. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Kh4 29. g3+ |
Black has no chance now. | ||||

|
29... fxg3 30. Re4+ Kh3 31. Qg4# |
Materially down two points, Chessmaster picked up his first win of the tournament. While it was a very dominant game by White, Chess Titans certainly lasted a lot longer than what most would have expected. A very pleasing game.
