21. Nxc6 |
He takes. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... Qf2 |
This is what I had been planning the last few moves. I was hoping he would let me play Qg3 at some stage, such as 22. Nxd8 Qg3 23. hxg4 hxg4+ 24. Kg1 Rh2, he protects g2 and then I play Qh4 followed by Ra1 mate. The big question is, "Is Qf2 actually sound?" Your comments would be appreciated! | |||||||

22. Nxe7+ |
He takes my bishop with check. Now King to b7 or d7 allows Qxd5 with check and Kc7 allows Nxd5 with check, so I try the one remaining square. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22... Kb8 |
Now Nxf5 prevents Qg3, but black has R(d)-f8 (the other rook is needed on the h file), and after say 23. Nxf5 Rdf8 24. Ba3 Rxf5 25. Rxf2 Nxf2+ 26. Kg1 Nxd1 27. Rxd1 Rxf4 28. Rxd5 black has a slight material advantage. He wisely tries something else. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23. Nc6+ |
He throws in a check | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Kc7 |
The king comes up. If now 24. Nxd8 Qg3 25. hxg4 hxg4+ 26. Kg1 Rh2 followed by Qh4 and Rh1 mate. So he does something else. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24. Rxf2 |
He takes. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... Nxf2+ |
I take back | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. Kg1 |
King comes across | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25... Nxd1 |
I take his queen. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Nxd8 |
He takes my rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Rxd8 |
I take his knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. fxe5 |
He takes my pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... Nxc3 |
I take his - and remarkably material is even! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Bb2 |
He hits my knight. I was thinking here of Ne2 check, followed by Nf4 and Nd6, firmly blockading his passed pawn on e5. This may well have been better than what I played. | |||||||

28... Ne4 |
I thought it was nice and centrally placed here. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29. Bd4 |
He centralises his bishop, with a little threat of Bb6 check winning the exchange. Rc8 is probably my best move, I make another mistake. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29... Kd7 |
I am hoping to play Rc8 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30. Rc1 |
But now I find Rc8 is met by e6 check which wins for white. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... g5 |
So I move a pawn up | |||||||
| | ||||||||
