27... Rxd1 |
Now if try to take Black's queen, Black wins two rooks and my bishop, which combined, is worth more than his queen. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
28. Rxd1 Qa8 |
Battery along the long diagonal. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
29. Bd6 |
This sneaky tactic forces Black to give me a passed pawn, since if Rc8, then I have Bd7 Rxc4 Bxe6 Ra4 h6 g6 Qg5 with dangerous threats on the dark squares. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
29... Nxd6 30. exd6 |
Although I'm not up any material yet, I think my position is crushing here since I have an advanced passed pawn, and all my pieces are much more active than Black's | |||||

|
30... Rf7 31. Qe5 |
Black will lose his e-pawn, as a result of moving his f-pawn in the opening. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
31... a6 32. Ba4 |
Forced. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
32... Qd8 |
Blocking the promotion square. And if Black tries to hold his pawn with Rf6, then I have d7 Qd8 Rd6. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33. Qxe6 |
In this position, Kf8 is Black's only move, but he will still lose since my d-pawn is on the path to promotion. But Black's cheap mate threat loses immediately, instead of suffering longer. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33... Qg5 |
All I have to do is block mate and Black still has no counterplay. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
34. g3 Qd8 |
Black probably thought he could play Qxh5, but then he loses his queen to Qe8 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35. Be8 |
Black resigned here...... and, yeah...... I didn't really blame him. | |||||
