Black has a lot of ways to win this, Kg7 for starters... But this is not one of them... |

Again, forced... But still playing my plan... |

The best way, to win this is 24. ... f6! (after Rag1, Qf7!) 25. Bh3 Bxh3 26. Rxh3 Rd7 27. Rah1 Rg8, and white is out of moves... Black thinks, he can win time by playing Rg8 up front... |

Sadly not, and all of a sudden black's Queen gets in the way... Black's only hope lies in 25. ... Rg7! 26. Bh3 Qf6 27. Qxf6 Nxf6 28. Bxe6+ Kg8 29. Bb3, and we're back at equal... |

Right move, wrong time... One move ago, this was winning... Now it loses immediately... |

Relentless... |

Fallen in greed... Giving up the Queen could have saved black, after 26. ... Qxg1 (with check) 27. Nxg1 with lots of fighting chances, and two qualities for the Queen, in a complex position... |

27. Qxh7+

Bam!!! White finishes in great champion style... A Queen sac, like Tal made in his early days... |

27... Kxh7 28. Bxe6+

I figured this would be enough for now; I thought I had him, forgetting Bf5 double check and mate... Of course, he gave up... It is still mate after Qh5, Rxh5... A nearly perfect execution... |
