No, the f column should not be opened! |

|

|
19. Rh1 g6
|
I thought Rxh7, and if KxR, Qh1+, followed by Qh6. But I wasn't sure it was enough. |

|

Bringing more firepower to the enemy's field. |

He can now attack the f column, but without much effect. |

|

Intelligent. Returning the exchange in order to free his position. Now I have to be very "osé", if I want to keep my attack. |

|
| |
|
|
22. Nxh7
|
The Nf6+ threat is very dangerous for black. His best answer is Rg7, IMO. |

|
| |
|
|
22... Rxh7
|
But he went greedy, and this is almost mortal. I could have gone RxR, KxR, Qh1+, but after Kg7 I couldn't see a clear win. |

|

23. Qxg6+
|
My queen returns! ...at the cost of a piece, but the presence of the First Lady into the king whorts it. |

|
| |
|
|
23... Rg7 24. Qh5
|
Qh8+ is not checkmate, though. |

|
| |
|
|
24... Qe8 25. Qh8+ Kf7
|
Again, I have to play very strong to make my attack successful. |

|

The nice one. Tempo is all in chess. |

|

26... Rxg5 27. Rh7+ Kg6
|
I was in doubt if to follow with the queen or the rook. Now, with more time, I realize that Rh6+, Kf5 (Kf7, Qf6+, Kg8, Rh8#), Qf6+, Kg4, Rg1#, but on the spot I didn't. Pity. |

|
| |
|
|
28. Rg7+ Kf5
|
Kf6, Rg8+ and I win. Now, I had to bring in the other rook, and get rid of defensive forces, so... |

|
| |
|
|
29. Rxg5+ Kxg5
|
Tempo is all. |

|
| |
|
|
30. Rg1+
|
It is funny how long my queen keeps "en prise" undisturbed.- |

|
| |
|
|
30... Kf5 31. Qh7+ Kf6 32. Qh6+
|
Kf7 loses to Rg7#. |

|
| |
|
|
32... Kf5 33. Qf4#
|
So it worked, for once :-) |
