I thought I was clearly winning. The threat is Qxb2 mate. If he takes my queen, I take back with the pawn, discovered check and mate in 2. I couldn't see any defence for White. So pause again, and work out what White did play. | |||||

This must be his best shot. If I take with the bishop then he takes my bishop with his queen, and after I take take back he can take my queen and this time there is no mate. But what if I take with my knight? | |||||

Picking up the exchange. White resigns. Many thanks for looking at this, please rate my annotation on the star system and leave some comments, so I know how I am doing. Please remember that this was a quick-play game, both sides had just 15 minutes each to make all moves. Until next time! | |||||
