20... Rc6 |
My rook wanted to go to this square in any case. And now white needs to take timeout to move the knight again, or otherwise play (again) 21. Rb1. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Na4 f4 |
I continue my king-side attack. White is in severe trouble. | ||||
| | |||||

22. exf4 Rxf4 |
Junior 10 prefers retaking with the queen, however I wanted to lift my rook over to h4 to join the fray. | ||||

23. Be3 |
? Not much point to this move, since it once again, nudges my army to squares they already wanted to go. On h4 my rook also covers h6 and prevents white my splattering my king-side pawns with BxN. | ||||

23... Rh4 24. Rc1 Bxh3 |
! Beginning the demolition of the king-side. All my artillery is pointed at the castled king's position. | ||||

25. Rxc6 Qxc6 26. gxh3 |
?! White probably felt obliged to accept this piece sac, however it goes according to the script I'd mapped out. In defensive positions, indeed in chess in general, one should endeavor to play actively and in a non-stereotyped fashion, and try to find counterpressure whenever possible. 26. Qb3 is a more active move, pressuring the a2-g8 diagonal and keeping on eye on black's empty back-rank, and personally I would have found a sterner defensive move, though white is decisively worse in any case. | ||||

26... Qg6+ 27. Bg4 |
The only move to prevent a mating net. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Nxg4 28. hxg4 |
?? I was shocked to see this staid recapture which capitulates the rest of the game. I was fully expecting 28. Qxd5ch and a bit of a chase around my light-colored squares as my king seeks sanctuary, though I felt secure in the calculations I made that there was no perpetual or cheapos to fear. | ||||

|
28... Rxg4+ 29. Qxg4 |
Nothing else. | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Qxg4+ 30. Kh1 Bd6 31. Rc1 d4 |
Putting an end to things quickly, and driving the bishop off the c1-h5 diagonal so I can pick up the rook as well. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. Bxd4 Qh4+ 33. Kg2 Qg5+ |
White resigns. I always enjoy a good cold front with severe storms on the king-side. My opponent's king-side, that is. | ||||
