24. Qh3 |
This is an excellent move, by far the best move he could have chosen. If he had played his queen to h5 I can save myself by Qe6 check followed by Qg5. He wants to play Bc1 and take on h6. If he plays Bc1 first, then I can play Qc6 and then take on f6. There is no defense now. Probably best is Qc6, hitting f6, he plays Qh4, then I can play Rg8, threatening mate on g2. He meets it with say g3. Now the only way for me to avoid the disastrous lost of the h6 pawn is Rg5, meeting Bc1 with Qxf6, he exchanges on g5 and I end up the exchange (rook for bishop) and pawn down in a hopeless ending. I decide instead to give a knight back, hoping against hope that he will go wrong in the complications. | |||||

Did you find that queen sacrifice to finish me off? Now of course, Kg8 is met by Qg7 mate and Kxh6 is met by Rh4 checkmate. So I resigned! Many thanks for reading this, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave me a comment or two, and rate it with the star system. | |||||
