improving the position of the knight and directly threatening the knight on e4. So white has to move it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Ng5 |
A nice idea that sets up an very good tactic later on. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... b5 |
I am in a bit of a small hole and am trying to keep white distracted. The idea is to draw away a center pawn from the center thereby creating a weakness on d5. I willingly go down a pawn(albeit the pawn is a double pawn) to force white to play defense. | ||||||

Getting all my pieces into the game. And yes! even my king has to pull his own weight. Here he defense the holes on f6 and h6. More importantly h6. It also clears the back rank for the future possibility of a rook going to h8 if the h-file opens on in the future. Maximizing your piece potential is a big part of master level chess. | ||||||

A weird pawn structure. That white D-pawn passer concerns me but if I can get my king pawns going. It is white who will wake up tomorrow wondering what happened! | ||||||
| | |||||||

White is obliged to defend d5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Rc8 |
directly threatening ...c4 with the purpose of making the white bishop a glorified pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Bc4 Rc7 |
I got a pawn on e5 that is ready be pushed. So this rook is going to e7. | ||||||
| | |||||||

White is in a bit of wait and see mode. | ||||||

22... e4 |
threatening ...e6 after Re7. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Qc3 |
nice move by white that sets up a beautiful deflection tactic on f6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Rce7 |
Nothing I can do on f6 so I setup a threat of my own on the e-file. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Nh7 Kxh7 25. Qxf6 |
Nice combo. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Qb6 |
only move! when defending it is best to exchange queens. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Qc3 |
I thought that 26. Qc6 was white's best chance to fight for a win. | ||||||

26... Qd6 |
Improving the position of the black queen and blockading d5. For now the threat of d5-d6 is not available to white. Though he has a lot of hope with a4-a5. However, white's pieces are not as harmonious as black's they are less centralized and the black knight is far better than the white bishop. The position is very dynamic and increasing in complexity. Which favors the stronger player. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. a4 f6 |
Like 14...h5 this is one small step leading to a fantastic finish. The point is that black now threatens to play ...g5 with strong initiative | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. a5 |
White has to maintain their active play on the queen side. But I wonder are they aware of the danger lurking on the king side? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Kg7 |
Why ...kg7? Well I am betting that after ...g5-g4 the h-file is going to open. At which point I plan to plant a rook on it! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Re2 Nd4 |
Leads to a draw but ...g5 is no better. | ||||||
