22... Bxb4 |
So White goes 3 pawns down. | |||||

23. Qg3 |
This is actually a fine move by White, if followed up with Bh6, to threaten mate on g7. Black would be forced to play g6 and then there are chances of opening up the Black King side with pawn h2-h4-h5 and exchange on g6. Black still would have an advantage, but White would have chances if Black wasted time. | |||||

Black also mobilises the Queen against the White King. The a2 pawn is now a goner, as if White tries to defend with say Kb1, Kb2 or Qb3 Black has B(b4)xd2. White's King is starting to look very bare. The position is basically lost for Black. B(d2)xB(b4) is probably the only way to prolong the game. | |||||

24. Qe5 |
Is she trying to defend with the Queen along the long black diagonal? If so, unfortunately Black finds a neat way to finish White off. | |||||

24... Ba3+ |
Good move, well done Black! | |||||

25. Kc2 |
Forced, unless White wants to give her Queen away for nothing with Qb2. | |||||

25... Qa4+ |
Another good move from Black! | |||||

26. Kc3 |
This time definitely forced! But now Bb2 is mate! So, an interesting game. Both players at times wasted time. Both players seemed to understand that if you castle on opposite sides, you must attack your opponent's King. Black won this game, because he had an extra pawn or two going into the middle game, he attacked more effectively, and although White correctly tried to muster a King side attack, also played the dreadfully weakening 22. b4?
