18. Qe5
|
!
covers both c7 and b1, and hence stopping Rd7 and preventing my queen from attacking. so a better square for the white queen than g7. |

18... Bf5 19. a4
|
!
the winning move... |

|
19... a5
|
i had to block the pawn, or the queen is screwed... Rd7 is out as it blocks my king's only flight square after Qb8... i guess Qa5 is an alternative, but b4 soon sorts that out... |

20. Ra3
|
!
this is when i realised i was in deep trouble, but i had one last plan... run away...! |

|
|
|
20... Kd7
|
i have to get the king away, or Rb3 wins... the queen cannot take the rook, nor go anywhere else... |

|
|
|
21. Qg7+
|
and i resign... just two squares... e8 and the rook is gone, c8 and the queen is gone... excellent play by leo... |
