31. Qd6 |
And now I drop in to d6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... f3 |
Black continues with plans against g2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32. Re7+ |
The rook enters the game with check. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Rf7 |
32. ... Kh6 33. Qe2+ and black's king looks like it's going to be getting more exposed. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Re8 |
? Missing a trick - the simple 33. Qe4+ forces 33. ... Kg7, when 34. Re8+ wins the queen. This is still winning though - just less forcing. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Qg5 |
Threatening mate in one. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. g3 |
Pretty much forced, but quite solid. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Ra2 |
Basically throwing in the towel. 34. ... Rd8 was forced, when white breaks through with 35. Qc7 Rf8 36. Rde1 (but not RxRf8?? RxRd1#!) Kh6 (what else?) 37. RxRf8 RxR 38. Re8 Qb4 (threatening mate again) 39. Qc1+ | ||||||

35. d8=Q |
Mate in ten. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Qh5 |
Mate in four. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36. Qe5+ |
Not mate in four! It's academic anyway; two of the queens come off and white's win is simple. The mate was pretty - 36. Rg8+ Kh6 37. Q8f8+! RxQ 38. QxR+ Kg5 39. Qf4#. Thanks for reading, and feel free to point out improvements! | ||||||
