21. Qe5
Fritz also considers 21. h6 and 21. Qd2 forking the pawns on g5 and b4.

21... Nd5
This is strong, the knight takes up a powerful central position. However Fritz likes the immediate c3.

22. Qxg5+
So I get my pawn back.

 
22... Kh7
Clearly the best square, avoiding checks on the long dark diagonal.

 
23. Ne2
Developing my knight at last. Fritz agrees that this is the best move for white. I was starting to think black had an advantage her. Fritz thinks so too, about plus 0.5 to black.

23... Rg8
She attacks my queen. Again Fritz points out that c3 could have been played at once.

 
24. Qe5
My queen takes up a central position, but without much support, she is unable to achieve much.

24... Bd7
At last the bishop is developed.

25. Rdg1
I contest the open g file. Fritz doesn't think much of that move and looks at Qe4+, Rh2 and h6. Black's advantage put at plus 3.59, after what it considers the best move, h6.

25... c3
Fritz considers this best.

 
26. bxc3
I take.

 
26... Rae8
A sound move attacking my Queen.

27. Qh2
This seemed to me to be the logical move, although I feared I was about to be overwhelmed on the Queen-side. Fritz thinks that white should give up the queen instead with 27. Rxg8. The reality of the position is that white is lost now, and I chose to play this and live in hope that she would not spot the winning technique on the Queen-side. Certainly giving up the queen is almost equivalent to resignation.

There are many ways to win now. This is one of them. The mate threat is 28....Qxc2

 
28. Ng3
Virtually the only way to stop the mate threat. The other move 28. Nf4 is met with 28....Nxf4 and I can't take back with my queen, as I get mated on c2.

28... bxc3
She takes, with some nasty threats on the Queen-side. Fritz agrees that this is best.

 
29. Nxc3
Probably best out of some dreadful options.

 
29... Qa1+
Interesting way to finish off.

30. Nb1
I play this rather than letting my knight go with check.

 
30... Reb8
It is mate in 5 now.
