19. b4 |
here he comes. I don't see any real danger, none of whites pieces are in particularly great squares, although my last move does give white the choice of Ne4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... h5 |
On the other hand i have got some pieces pointing at whites king. I reckon i've got more chances of winning now. Koolio. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Ne4 |
White threatens to both win a pawn and place the knight on c5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... h4 |
f5 doesn't look very good to me after 21. Nc5. if i follow that with something like 21. h4, then 22. Bg5! Rd6 23. Rc1 Rc6 24. Bf6 wins the d pawn. I'd rather keep the d pawn than the f pawn, so i decide to sacrifice the latter and continue my massive pawn storm on the kingside. I'm telling ya, four queens couldnt stop that ferocious little devil. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Rc1+ Kb7 22. a3 |
kinda pointless.. white could have played 22. Nc5+ Ka8 23. a4, which looks somewhat dangerous, or a simple defensive move in h3 to end my one-man pawn charge. Whites game gradually unravels from here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... h3 |
Now i get some reward. Whites kingside defenses will be permanently damaged. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. g3 |
Whilst i've got no immediate threat, this weakening could give me more chances later. It's worth it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Ka8 |
Enhances my kings safety, i couldn't see anything better at the time. I'll now be quite happy if white grabs my pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Nxf6 |
He does. That pawn was almost useless, and in exchange i can shuffle my pack. For me that makes chess a better game than poker, where shuffling poor hands doesn't do anything so you have to bluff. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Qf5 25. Ne4 Bd5 |
I mentioned earlier i wanted to do that. The purpose now looks clearer, pointing it at whites f pawn which has been weakened by white being forced to play g3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Nc5 d3 |
Why play d3 now? A different move like Rhe8 allows white to play 27. Na4 and trade off their knight for my bishop, which i don't want. But if he tries Na4 now i can simply move the bishop to d4 and my game continues undisturbed. d3 also opens up a new threat, Rhe8 followed by Re2!, allowing me to win the f pawn which would be a total disaster for white. And white can't afford to move either the queen or rook from its defense. Its a thorn in whites side, to use another cliche. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Bf4 |
White tries to protect the f pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Bc6 |
I need to be patient right now, i need to guard my d pawn without moving the bishop off that diagonal. Bc6 accomplishes both those things. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. Rf2 |
White knows what's coming, he'll do the best to to try and stop it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Rhe8 29. Qf1 |
Passive moves are all white can do here really. There doesn't seem to be anything much better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Qd5 |
Now Re2 will force the capture of the f pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30. Rd2 |
This move delays Re2, as white could then take it with the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30... Qh5 |
But now the threat's back on again, and worse still i can immediately take f3 now it's lost a defender. Nothing really fancy about my little sequence there, it simply takes away precious time from white. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. Kg1 |
This is now the only defense possible, as Re2? allows g4! which enables white to safely exchange rooks after black moves the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Rd4 |
I could have continued with Bxf3 and still have a good position, but this move is even better, threatening 32. Rxf4 33. gxf4 Rg8+ which will lead to checkmate. | ||||||
