14... h5
giving your rook the chance for future attack on e6

 
15. Nd5
gotta take surely! otherwise h7 is lost. if you take h6 is lost :-) ... at last ... one track mind ... Obviously I've been working on that a file for some time.

 
15... Nxd5
ok

 
16. Rxd5
a6 is mine

 
16... Bh6
ok - retrospectively ... now I get it ... I'm aiming to take h7 *after* h6 this is your only opportunity to neuturalise the bishop - whilst getting your rook over to e6 in the meantime... so be it! though why I didn't think of progressing my pawns, namely f2-f4 is beyond me.. defending the bishop whilst developing the pawns!?

 
17. Bxh6
ok I'll press with two rooks in the far corner then - bye bye faithful bishop

 
17... Rxh6 18. Ra5 O-O-O
shit! forgot you could still do that! only one pawn then... grrrrr

 
19. Rxa6
one pawn ahead going into the end game with e6 pretty undefendable. not happy!

 
19... Kb7 20. Ra5
that 'feels' good though if you chase me with your king?

 
20... Rf8
ok defending f5

 
21. Re1
enter the fray

 
21... g5
ok - theres alot of thought here - 'specially around mating your king with two rooks. Either against the a file - or in the corner on a8 - but it would certainly take your complicity ....

 
22. Re3
start preparation for attack on king

 
22... f4
thats fine - I like e4

 
23. Re4
now the simple mate is, of course, John comes off back rank with rook to f6 ... kev goes rc4 - john takes kevs givaway pawn kev goes rb5 john k-a8 (oh yeah!) kiev mate on the last rank In your dreams a little more work to do yet as JD can come forward as well as backwards ....

 
23... g4
ok moving your indefensible pawn

 
24. Ra3
kiev moves a little further back and hopes John doesn't see mate coming... (though it still takes a little complicity - If I move rook c4 the king coming forward to b6 wrecks any chance of mate... As does johns retreat of his yet unadvanced rook!!

 
24... f3
hmmmm - troublesome

 
25. g3
that should stop yer

 
25... Rff6
ok so the rook comes forward... lets go for this ill advised mate attempt? surely JD can get out of it easily enough!!
