30... Nc7 |
This is the only move that stops Qa8#. Black probably expects me to take the piece, but that will only result in the end to my mating attack, and I'll end up down an exchange (my rook for his bishop). I have a much better move here that is more brilliant and wins immediately. | |||||

31. Qa8+ |
Anything's possible when you have tactics. All the next moves are forced. | |||||

33... Kb8 34. Ra8# |
Despite being down a queen, I have effectively finished my intended mating attack, because of Black's greedy rook fork. Black didn't even get a chance to take one of my rooks because of all my tactics. So this game shows not to worry about material in the opening phase of the game. Material is only important in the endgame where it is easier to exploit. | |||||
