18. d5 |

|
18... cxd5 19. Nxd5 |
Qa4 is another way to exploit blacks mistake on move 17 | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Qa5 |
black prevents any future Qa4 ideas from white and threatens the knight | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Nxe7 |
! i didn't think this was so strong at the time as i missed whites next move | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Kxe7 21. Qd4 |
! a strong move, either winning the g pawn or forcing black further onto the back foot | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Qc5 |
here i decided it was better to lose the pawn and get some chance of counter play than to play the very ugly looking Rhg8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Qxg7 Rag8 23. Qh6 |
i think Qd4 was better here, although black can't claim any compensation after the text move | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Kd7 |
now all of the black forces are mobile and pointing at the white kingside, ready to pounce on any mistake white makes | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Bd2 |
?? Which happens straight away! 24.Bf4 was the correct move, white should ignore the c pawn and play for the attack. This move, however, allows black to smash open the white kings defences and go on the offencive | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Rxg2+ |
! the only way to take advantage of whites inaccurate 24th move | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Kxg2 Rg8+ |
if the bishop had been on f4 then the bishop could simply parry the check by dropping back to g3 | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Kf1 |
! the best square for the king, in fact the only square that doesn't lead immediately to mate, 26.Kh1?? Bd5 , 26.Kf3 Bg4 ! the variations after 26.Kf3 were the ones i spent most of my time on as black has so many promising looking follow ups unlike the variation after the text move which is quite simple to see as there aren't many other options | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Bc4+ 27. Re2 Qd5 |
! the key move in this variation. its amazing to say it but now white is lost, there is no way to defend everything. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Qh3+ |
! the best defence - the only way to aviod mate | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Kc7 29. f4 |
giving the king an escape square | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Qxd2 |
now black is only down the exchange and has all the play, the black king is surprisingly secure on c7 where as the white king has pieces swarmiing all around him. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Qf3 |
not 30.Re1?? as black mates after 30...Qxf4 . everything looks to be defended here but black still has one more little tactical trick to secure the win | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Bxe2+ 31. Qxe2 Rg1+ |
! the king can't possibly keep the queen defended as 32.Kf2 loses to 32...Rg2 | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. Kxg1 Qxe2 33. Rf1 Qxa2 |
and white resigns as he has no chance of any counter play as the rook can't stray far from the king without getting forked and black will soon march his a pawn to promotion | ||||
