13... exd4 14. Nf5 |
White kinda makes an in-between move at this point. But still a better move might possibly be 14. exd4 and then followed by 15. Re1, when White introduces his Rook with a tempo. But in the long run I think that black will be able to gain equality. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Qd8 |
The Queen retreats.... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Nf3xd4 |
White recaptures the pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Ne5 |
Black is threatening the c4 bishop with his knight and also it allows his c8 bishop to see daylight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Bb3 |
A swap off is not good for White so he retreats his bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Bxf5 |
Black knows that his Bishop would hardly be any use so he swaps it off for the fairly aggressive knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Nxf5 |
White recaptures and still has a fairly aggressive knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Qb6 |
? Now this is the move that set up Black's future problems. The fairly forced 17.g6 would chase the f5 knight away from its fairly aggressive position and also would equalize the game. The position one or two moves ago seemed to be quite simple, but now Alekhine takes the initiative end of things and creating threat after threat, never lets up. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Qd6 |
! Threatening the e5 knight and also going down Black's throat in a way. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Ned7 |
Retreating..... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Rfd1 |
White gets his other Rook doing something.... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Rad8 |
Black puts his Rook on the same file as White's Queen meaning that White must now retreat his Queen | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qg3 |
The Queen retreats and Is also threatening 21. Qxg7 checkmate! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... g6 |
A forced move If 20.Ne8 21. Nh6 Kh8 22. Nxf7 will win White some material. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Qg5 |
! White is now threatening 22. Rd6 which hits Black's Knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Kh8 |
Black gets his King of the g- file so he can simply threaten to wipe out White's Knight with 22.pxf5 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Nd6 |
And now 23. Nxf7 threatens to eat some material. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Kg7 |
To give the f7 pawn more support, but it is not ideal for his King he has walked back on the g-file where he is pinned again | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. e4 |
! Even the e-pawn joins in the attack. This move also frees the 3rd rank for White's Rooks to come to the Kingside. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Ng8 |
So Black can play 24. f6 and hopes to stay alive. | ||||||
| | |||||||
