|
11. b4 |
Pushing the bishop off it's best square and allows Bb2 to attack on the long diagonal | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
11... Bb6 |
Retreating out of the attack of the pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. Bb2 |
Attacking the undefended knight, and forcing me to decide whether to attack or step back | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... Nxf3+ |
I chose to attack | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Bxf3 |
Recapturing the knight and threatening to win the bishop | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13... Bh3 |
Attacking the rook, and threatening to win the exchange | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. Re1 |
This move allows me to keep the pressure around the king, however brings the rook to a good square. The other possibility 14. Bg2 looks to give no advantage | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Qd6 |
A fairly weak move. The queen has few squares to move to except to move backwards, better moves would be moving the rooks to open files | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. e4 |
Taking advantage of the undefended queen, so 15... dxe4?? leads to 16. Qxd6 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Rfe8 |
This move appears to be a blunder allowing 16. e5 forking queen and knight, however I could play 16... Qe6 because of the line 17. exf6 Qxe1 18. Qxe1 Rxe1# | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. exd5 |
White chooses to keep it simple and just takes the pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Rxe1+ |
This is the first step of a plan to threaten checkmate. With the bishop trapping the king in and the undeveloped knight causing a backrank weakness. I will aim to control the e-file and hope to drive to queen away... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Qxe1 |
Forced | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Re8 |
This move attacks the queen and pins it to the defence of the e1 square because of the threat of Re1# | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Qd2 |
Moving out of the rooks fire | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Ne4 |
From a very placid position, my opponents position is about to self-implode. I have been unable to unravel the game to find the weak move. After seeing the finish perhaps you might be able to find it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Bxe4 |
The knight was threatening to win the f2 pawn, so the only way to stop it is to remove the piece | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Rxe4 |
Recapturing the taken piece. Already in this position black looks better with white having failed to develop his queenside. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qc3 |
This looks plausible, as it threatens checkmate at g7 and pressures a potencially weak back rank, however the checkmate is easily defended and puts my opponent in a worse position | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Bd4 |
And thats practically undefendable: If... 1) 21. Qd2 Qxd5 22. Bxd4 Re1 23. anything (Bxd4, Nc3, b5) Re1 and mate on g2 2) 21. Qc1 Bxb2 22. Qd1 (Queen can't take bishop due to Re1#) 3) Anthing else gives up the queen | ||||||
