12. h4 |
An attack on Black's queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Qg6 |
The fourth move of the queen! Black needs to develop his pieces but he can't because of his weekly positioned pieces which are vulnerable to whites pesky pawns. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. h5 Qg5 |
Black's queen has moved a total of five times while White has gained space on the kingside. Tempo count stands as follows White: 10 Tempi; Black: 5 Tempi. Anderssen must have started to feel sorry for blacks defenceless position as he has a major advantage which he knows he can exploit even though he is a bishop down. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Qf3 |
! Double attack on the f-pawn! White has two threats: first, bishop captures f5 attacking the queen which has no where to retreat to; second, to push e5 attacking the knight, the only other developed piece Black has out besides his queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Ng8 |
Black takes care of both threats by un-developing his knight. He has now moved the knight a total of four times and it has gone absolutely nowhere. Tempo count now stands at White: 11; Black: 4. Black has no alternative though because he has to find a way of getting his queen away from the danger if attacked. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Bxf4 |
The bishop captures the pawn forcing Black's queen to move for the sixth time. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Qf6 |
This attacks the pawn on b2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Nc3 |
White develops another piece now that his kingside is secure and also eyes up the powerful d5 square for his knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bc5 |
Black develops a piece with an attack on White's rook. I think 16...Na6 is slightly better. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Nd5 |
!!White ignores the piece attack with an attack of his own on Black's hapless queen as well as threatening to fork the king and rook on c7. Not bad to do all those things in one move, no? | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Qxb2 |
Black has captured the pawn giving him an attack on White's other rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Bd6 |
!!White can afford to be careless of his rooks as his minor pieces begin to surround the Black monarch, trying to catch it in a matting net.Now Black cannot play 18...Bxd6? 19.Nxd6 Kd8 20.Nxf7 Ke8 21.Nd6 Kd8 22.Qf8 . | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Bxg1 |
Black cannot take the bishop as it would lead to mate by 18...Bxd6 19.Nxd6 Kd8 20.Nxf7 Ke8 21.Nd6 Kd8 22.Qf8# mate. Instead Black captures the rook giving him an eight point lead in material. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. e5 |
White's pawn move cuts off Black's queen from returning to help its troubled king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Qxa1+ 20. Ke2 Na6 |
Black develops his knight to the edge of the board in trying to prevent the fork on c7. More resistance could have been offered by 20...Ba6, but White should still win after 21.Nc7 Kd8 22.Nxa6 Bb6 23.Qxa8. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. Nxg7+ |
Check. White grabs a pawn and attacks the king forcing him to move to d8. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Kd8 22. Qf6+ |
White sacrifices his queen with check to decoy Black's knight away from protecting the e7-square. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Nxf6 |
Black is now eighteen points ahead in material. Howver wat counts isnot what is off the board that counts but what is on the board. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Be7# |
