|
this attacks his Queen, adds protection for my d3 pawn, and opens my bishop up on the diagonal. |

|
|
|
21... Qd4
|
he offers to trade Queens (basically, he forces me to, or I lose the knight) |

|
|
|
22. Qxd4
|
I take it |

|
|
|
22... Rxd4
|
so does he, and now my knight is naked again! |

|
|
|

|
I escape, forking a pawn and rook |

|
|
|
23... Rxd3
|
he nabs a pawn |

|
|
|
24. Rxd3
|
I trade rooks |

|
|
|
24... Bxd3
|
no time to nab the pawn, I need to move the rook |

|
|
|
25. Rc1
|
I protect my pawn, but wonder if Rd1 would have been better |

|
|
|
25... a6
|
he saves his pawn |

|
|
|
26. Bf3
|
I try to keep the knight contained |

|
|
|
26... g5
|
I think he's out to free the knight with g4 to follow |

|
|
|
27. Rc3
|
a fatal mistake.. |

|

|
my goose is cooked! |

28... Bf1+
|
