20... Kf7 |
There's nothing to do for black. It is a forced mate. If 20. ... Kf8 then 21. Bxh6 Kg8 22. Rxf4 ~ 23. Rf8#. After 20. ... Kf7, follows 21. Rxf4 Kg7 (21. ... Kg8 22. Bxh6 ~ 23. Re8#) 22. Re7 Kg8 and mate in the next two moves. | ||||

21. Rxf4+ |
Black resigns. A big thanks to patagusto which played this game as black! There are some important strategic themes in this match: - the importance of development and of center; - the power of open lines; - the weakness on a1-h8 and h4-d8 diagonal; - the importance of strategy principles also in tactical situations; - tactical themes of «whirl» (a little one!) and «interference». | ||||
