17... Qc8 |
Threatening to harass the White Queen with ...Bg4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. h3 Ng6 |
Striking at e5, but losing control of d5. Now it's actually favorable for White to snap on d5, creating a mobile pawn center. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. exd5 Bf5 |
Stopping Ne4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Rf1 |
The last White piece joins the kingside attack with tempo! | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Bd3 21. d6 |
Exclam! The diagonal is re-opened for business as White offers the exchange for a winning combination. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Bxf1 |
Black doesn't have much choice. White was threatening 22.Rxg6 Bxg6 23.Qxg6 followed by checkmate in a few moves. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Rxg6 Bxg2+ |
The desperado doesn't change anything; Rxg7 is unstoppable. | ||||

23. Kxg2 Qf5 |
Black threatens mate in two, but hangs his Queen! | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Rxg7+ Kxg7 25. Bf6+ |
1-0 Even if Black wanted to play on without a Queen, it's still forced mate in five after 25...Qxf6 26.exf6 Kxf6 27.Ne4 Kg7 28.Qg5 Kh7 29.Nf6 Kh8 30.Qh6#. | ||||
