39... Ngf6 40. Bg5 |
I try for a pin, but instead I commit a minor blunder and lose a pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
40... Nxg5 41. hxg5 Nxd5 42. g6 |
This move is vital- If he is to capture with his queen, his rook on e7 is undefended. He cannot use his knight to recapture, because then I mate with Qb7. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
42... Rxe1+ 43. Rxe1 Qxg6 |
He avoids the blunder and comes out a pawn up. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
44. a4 |
I again seek to move his knight, and attack the pawns defending his king. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
44... c6 |
Defends his knight. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
45. Qc4 Kb7 46. Bxd5 |
Another important move. He can't recapture with either his rook or pawn, because both lead to mating patterns. See if you can figure them out. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
46... Qf6 47. Bg2 Rd7 48. a5 b5 |
His move here was another blunder. His pawn on c6 is pinned by my bishop, and so it cannot recapture. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
49. Qxb5+ Kc8 50. Re8+ Rd8 51. Bxc6 Qf7 52. Rxd8+ Kxd8 |
I've traded rooks, and all I need to do now is trade Queens, because I have two passed pawns. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
53. Qb8+ Ke7 54. a6 Qe6 |
This move sets up my trade. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
55. Qe8+ Kf6 56. Qxe6+ Kxe6 57. a7 |
He can't get to the pawn in time, and so my opponent resigns. This was a particularly tactical match, with an intriguing beginning, and I hope you have enjoyed it. | |||||
