16... Qxf3+ 17. Kg1 Bd6 |
??? I really wanted to play Ng4 there, but after Qg5+ i thought white could practically force a queen swap with Qf4. I failed to see the e pawn was pinned to the king. In other words Ng4 would have won me the game but i blew it :( Bd6??? prevents the queen reaching f4 (not that it could have gone there anyway) and brings an extra piece to the attack, but also gives white precious time. | ||||||

White delays Ng4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Qd1+ 19. Qf1 Qg4+ 20. Kf2 |
White was a good sport there, not playing Qg2. I don't want this game to end by threefold repetition. | ||||||

20... Ne5 |
as i mentioned somewhere else, giving up the rook enables me to have an extra knight in the attack. That's very important for the way the game develops. | ||||||

21. Qe2 Nd3+ |
That is a very snug home for the knight and makes development of the bishop even harder, whilst simultaneously continuing the attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Kf1 Qf5+ 23. Kg1 Ng4 |
Aiming for f2. | ||||||

That's annoying for me... | ||||||

|
24... Ngf2 |
I took some time deciding which knight to move. I made my choice on the basis the other knight is very good on d3 and and i can go Nh3+ Kg2 Nf4+!, winning the queen! If white tries to prevent that with 25. h3, Qg5+ 26. Kf1 Nxh1 is very good for black. Looks like it's curtains for white. | ||||||

25. Nxd6 |
:( No it's not. Now the queen is threatened, the plan no longer works this turn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... cxd6 26. h3 |
And without my bishop this move is safe, as it allows the king to flee to h2 instead of f1 if i check it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Nxh1 |
I'm running out of options now. If White takes the knight i can force a draw by repeatedly checking the king, starting on h3. | ||||||

27. Qg2 |
The machine knows it. Winning a hibernating rook is not good enough for me, i'm still behind in material which will ruin me if white manages to develop the other pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Nhf2 28. h4 |
A clever little move, moving the pawn to safety and threatening a queen swap on g5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Nh3+ |
? I could easily have played h6 there and considered it, but decided to cover g5 with the knight instead, hoping to find a new attack on the king at the same time. i could not see a good way to continue attacking after h6, but it would still left me with a solid position. | ||||||

29. Kh2 Ndf2 30. Qg3 |
Now i can't move either of my knights without one being taken. Nh3+ looks a poor move now. | ||||||

30... Qb5 |
i've got no viable options left. If only i was playing a human they might let me play Qf1 and Qh1#. If only. | ||||||

White quickly responds, allowing Bb2 to make any move on the back file worthless. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Qe2 |
When you're losing, you can always hope for a discovered check. Sometimes people fall for those... | ||||||

White develops the bishop in a way that means the loss of a pawn is irrelevent. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Qxd2 33. Rb1 h5 |
My presents have all been opened, unfortunately i broke all the good toys. There's nothing left for me to do here. There's always next year. | ||||||
