31. Qxh4 |
I take back, with the massive threat of Qh7 mating. Fritz actually gives 31...Qxg5 as the only move to prevent a quick mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Qb4 |
Queen comes out to give his king a flight square, and a possible counter attack on my king. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32. Nd6 |
Fritz says it is mate in 7. At the time I just knew I was winning. | ||||||

32... Rc8 |
As good as anything. What would you play now dear reader? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Nxe8+ |
Fritz gives this as mate in 8, but even better was Ndxf7. If now Rxe8 34. Qh7+ Kf8 35. Qxf7# | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Kf8 |
So this is the only move to prevent an early mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. Nd6 |
With best defence, it is mate in 12. Fritz says I missed a mate in 7 with Qh7. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Na4 |
One last hope from black - that I will take the rook and allow him to mate me with Qxb2. He did play on until I played my 37th move, but I will leave here dear reader with a puzzle - how did I mate in 4 from this position? Many thanks for reading. Please rate the annotation on the star system and leave a comment or two to let me know how I am doing. Until next time dear reader! | ||||||
