13... Na5 |
13....Na5?? This is a huge blunder! I don't know what I was thinking. 13....Ne2 is obviously the correct move here. From e2, the Knight can move to f5, where it controls the h4, h6, g3, g7, e3, e7, and d6 squares. If White trades on e7, that removes a vital attacker from White's attack. | ||||

14. Qd3 |
14.Qd3. This pins the g6 pawn and allows 15.Bxh5. | ||||

|
14... Rg8 15. Bxh5 Qf8 |
15...Qf8. Now that I have two defenders in the corner, I will try to hang on with everything I have. | ||||

|
16. Na3 Qh6 |
16....Qh6. Kicking the Bishop. | ||||

|
17. Bxg6+ Rxg6 |
17....Rxg6?? The second miscalculation. I should have taken with the Queen or pawn. | ||||

18... c5 19. dxc5 bxc5 20. Nd6 |
20.Nd6. Attacking the helpless f-pawn. | ||||

|
21. O-O Nb7 |
21....Nb7. I try to trade Knights. I think that this is better than 21...Bb7. Once the Knight takes, the Bishop retakes, then I can move the d-pawn and my Bishop will stare down g2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Nxc8 |
22.Nxc8. But White has other plans. | ||||

22... Rxc8 23. Qa6 Rc7 24. Qxa7 |
24.Qxa7. I thought this was the end of what his Queen would do. How wrong I was. | ||||

|
24... Qh3 |
24....Qh3. This threatens mate, but I overlooked HIS mate threat. | ||||

|
25. Qb8+ |
25.Qb8. I could resign here, on account of unavoidable mate, but I decided to draw it out as long as possible. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Rc8 26. Qxc8+ Nd8 27. Qxd8+ Kh7 |
27....Kh7. The only move. | ||||

28. Qh8# |
28.Qh8# My opponent played well in this game, and I played terribly. I overlooked, miscalculated, blundered, and overall failed in the middle-late game. Thank you for reading! Please leave comments! | ||||
