40. Nd7+ |
If you answered 40.Nd7+ or noticed the fact that Black is currently in a zugswang, then congratulations. A very interesting variation happens if White plays a waiting move such as 40.Kg2! Black cannot avoid to lose a piece. Sample lines: 40.Kg2! Bg7 (40...g5 41.hxg5 fork)(40...Re7anywhere 41.Rxe8+)(40...Rf5 41.Nxg6+ fork)(40...Kg7 41.Rxe8 Rxe8 42.Rxe8) 41.Ng5 and there are too many threats to deal with. The move I played, 40.Nd7+, also wins. Black can't take the knight: 40...Rxd7 41.Rxe8+ Kg7 (41...Kf7 42.Ne5+ Kg7 43.Rg8+ Kh7 44.Rh8+ Kg7 45.Rag8#) 42.Rg8+ Kf7 (42...Kh7 43.Rh8+ Kg7 44.Rag8+ Kf7 45.Ne5+ Ke7 46.Rh7+! with mate to follow) 43.Ne5+ Ke7 44.Rge8+ Kd6 45.Ra6+ with mate to follow. Anyway, 40.Nd7+ at least forks the king and a rook. | |||||

40... Kg7 41. Rbxe8 |
Black still cannot take my knight. I could have played 41.Nxf6 first instead but I thought my knight has more value than his rook. | |||||

41... Rxe8 |
Black avoids the trap once again, but he is still lost. | |||||

42. Rxe8 Rf7 43. Nfe5 Rxd7 |
43...Rf5 44.Rxe6 isn't much better. | |||||

44. Nxd7 |
The rest is just technique. | |||||

Black resigns, as he can't stop the promotion. Feel free to comment and rate! | |||||
