16. Ng5
|
Even more pressure on h7. 3 attackers and 2 defenders... |

|
|
|
16... Qe8
|
Avoids an attack on the Q with the knight and potential mate |

|
|
|
17. Bxh7+ Kh8 18. Be4
|
back to attack Ra8 |

|
|
|
18... Bxa4
|
look familiar??? Good move but I have a few options. |

|
|
|
19. Qd3
|
This leads to rook exchanges |

|
|
|
19... Bxd1 20. Bxa8 Bb3 21. Be4
|
even steven but white still has position and up those 2 points from the earlier rook/bishop exchange |

|
|
|
21... Nxe4 22. Qxe4
|
I questioned black's willingness for this exchange as it put white in a potential mating postion. It seeems usual to exchange players so willingly when black was behind. |

|
|
|
22... g6 23. Qe5+ Kg8 24. Qxc7
|
Captures pawn and puts the Q in a position of power on the 7 rank |

|
|
|
24... Bc4 25. Rxb6
|
white is very strong here as Rb8 threatens to capture the black Queen |

|
|
|
25... Kg7 26. Rb8
|
This is a forced checkmate from this postion unless the black Q captures the attacking white rook. Can you spot the mate if Qa4? |

|
|
|
26... Qa4
|
I know the game is won at this point. Its 3 move to mate. |
