31. Rdb1 a6 |
If Qxd4, then I play Bxb7, and Black's king's position falls apart. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
32. a4 |
Now I have enough forces to win my pawn back, since if Black takes, I have Qxa3 or Rxb7, both crushing. | |||||

32... e5 |
Finally Black has some counterplay, so now I need to play extra-accurate, especially since my opponent is an International Master (IM) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33. Nd5 |
This blocks Qxd4 and brings my knight closer to Black's king. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33... e4 |
If 33...exd4??, then I play 34.Nb6 with tempo, and if 34...Qe6, then I simply play 35.Qd2 and Black's queen is driven to f6, where I have Rxe8, and if Black takes back the rook, then Nf7 wins the queen. And if Black tries 33...exd4?? 34.Nb6 Qc7, then I have Qxe8 Rxe8 Rxe8 Ka7 Ra8# | |||||
| | ||||||
|
34. Nb6 Qxd4 |
I lose another pawn, but I think my attack is still winning. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35. Bxg4 |
Now that Black has blocked my diagonal, my bishop is worthless and needs to be traded. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35... fxg4 36. Rbd1 |
I'm setting up Black for Qxc5 Nd7 | |||||

36... Qc3 37. axb5 Ka7 |
Opening the a-file is too dangerous for Black. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
38. bxa6 Qxc5 |
I'm still down material, but Black's king is very weak. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
39. Nd7 Qc3 40. axb7 |
All Black's defensive pawns are gone, and Black's king is exposed to checks. It was here when I knew for sure that I had a won game. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
40... e3 |
A last desperate chance for counterplay. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
41. Rda1+ |
The next few moves are pretty much forced. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
41... Kxb7 42. Qb5+ Kc7 |
This gets mated a move quicker than Kc8, but I can still get Black's king to c7 with Ra8. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
43. Qb6+ Kxd7 44. Ra7+ Kc8 45. Qb7# |
This was the single greatest game of my life. But I didn't win because I'm better than my coach (which I'm not!) I just caught him at an off-moment, since he was playing a lot of simultaneous games in an opening he wasn't familiar with. But still, I BEAT A 2500!!!!!!! | |||||
