13... Qxe4+ 14. Qe3 Qxd5 |
Here Black has only a pawn advantage but has an overwhelming positional and developmental advantage. | ||||

15. Ng7+ |
? While this protects the N and prevents Black from castling, it really doesn't help and accelerates the loss with what is essentially a spite check. After this blunder, White is truly lost. THe GK computer suggests Bxe5 instead. (Mistake: +4.52 » 15. Ng7+ Kf8 16. Qd4 Qf7 17. Nd2 Kxg7 18. Ne4 Re8 19. Nxd6 cxd6 20. Kd1 Nc6 21. Qxd6 Bf5 22. Kd2 Nge7; Best: +1.62 » 15. Bxe5 Qxe6 16. Bd4 Qxe3+ 17. Bxe3 Ne7 18. Nd2 Nf5 19. Bf2 g3 20. hxg3 Nxg3 21. Rh4 Nxf1 22. Re4+ Be5 23. Nxf1) | ||||

15... Kf7 |
Now the white N is en prise, the White K and Q are on the same file, and White is hopelessly behind in development. But the GK computer considers this an error in that Kf8 would have been even stronger. (Mistake: +3.18 » … Kf7 16. Qd4 Qxd4 17. cxd4 Nf3+ 18. gxf3 Bxf4 19. Nh5 Bc1 20. Nd2 Re8+ 21. Be2 Bxb2 22. Rb1 Bc3 23. Rf1 gxf3 24. Rxf3; Best: +4.52 » … Kf8 16. Qd4 Qf7 17. Nd2 Kxg7 18. Ne4 Re8 19. Nxd6 cxd6 20. Kd1 Nc6 21. Qxd6 Bf5 22. Kd2 Nge7) | ||||

16. Nh5 |
?? The final blunder. Saves the N but now the weakness on the e file becomes fatal. GK computer suggests Qd4 instead: (Blunder: +9.30 » 16. Nh5 Re8 17. Nd2 Nd3+ 18. Bxd3 Rxe3+ 19. Bxe3 Qxd3 20. Bxa7 Qb5 21. Ng3 Qxb2 22. Rd1 Bxg3+ 23. hxg3 Qxc3 24. Kf2 Qb2 25. Rhe1 Qxa2: Best: +3.30 » 16. Qd4 Qxd4 17. cxd4 Nf3+ 18. gxf3 Bxf4 19. Nh5 Bc1 20. Nd2 Re8+ 21. Be2 Bxb2 22. Rb1 Bc3 23. Rf1 gxf3 24. Rxf3. | ||||

16... Re8 |
Now Jo waves the white flag. White faces horrific material losses or checkmate. As Jo said: "I can safely say here that I am on the wrong end of an annihilation. I am now resigning our game on the grounds of ruinous loss of material. If I try and save Glenda (by dodging your knight) who will be pinned against Henry next move then I see you have a forced mate as follows:- Here is the forced mate. 17. Qg3 Nd3+ 18. Kd2 Nxf4+ 19. Kc1 Ne2+ 20. Kc2 Bf5+ 21. Qd3 Qxd3+ 22. Kb3 Qb5#" Even the line given by the GK computer: 17. Nd2 Nd3+ 18. Bxd3 Rxe3+ 19. Bxe3 Qxd3 20. Bxa7 Qb5 21. Ng3 Qxb2 22. Rd1 Bxg3+ 23. hxg3 Qxc3 24. Kf2 Qb2 25. Rhe1 Qxa2, leaves White annihilated. But I'm sure Jo will extract revenge in future games. | ||||
