15... Nf6 |
Blacks only move really, and as a result is way behind in development. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Qxe6 |
Although i'll be material down, the game is actually egded in my favour. With my queen under attack and while still wanting to exploit the black kings vunerability i decide to trade the queen for the rook and bishop to gain complete control of the e file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Bxe6 17. Rxe6 |
I have to take with the rook and allows me to double up at some point too. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Nc6 |
Another option was Ne8 protecting the d pawn, but it's not much better than Nf6. | ||||

18. Bxd6+ |
Here i had the option of Rxd6 or Bxd6 . If i took with the rook i would be attacking the queen with the threat of a discovered check. I took with the bishop instead. | ||||

18... Kf7 19. Rfe1 |
I missed the oppertunity yet again to solidfy my advantage. I should have played 19.Re7 Kg6 20.Bd3 Ne4 21.Rxe4 and the position is alot better for white. I was too quick in moving though to spot this and doubled up the rooks instead. In effect this should have left the game in a stone cold draw after.... | ||||

|
19... Kg6 |
Kg6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Bd3+ |
Nothing else i can do unless i want to give black the advantage. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Kf7 21. Bc4 Kg6 22. Bd3+ Kh5 |
Kh5?? This changes everything. I guess with the material advantage black didn't want to settle for the draw. But it's back in whites favour after 23.R1e3 Qb6 24.Rh3 Kg4 25.Rg3 Kh4 26.Rxg7 Qb1 27. Bf1..... | ||||

23. Be2+ |
But i did not see this and continued checking to see where black was intending to put their king. (It has also been pointed out since publication that ''Instead of this, 23. Be7!? now, although not the best move, is actually still winning for white. White's other Bishop is better placed on d3 than e2. If after 23. Be7 Qb6 (not 23...Nxe7?? 24. R1e5 g5 25. Rxf6 when Black must give up his Queen to avoid mate.) 24. Bxf6 gxf6 25. Rxf6 Rg8 26. g3 Qd8 27. Ree6! and Black, again, has to give back his Queen.'' Thanks for agmac for pointing this out. With Blacks knight covering e5 and my White squared bishop blocking the kings escape it would make sense and give the sack a purpose. however i was always thinking about black playing g5 and would have preferred blacks king on the g file rather than the h file, meaning that g5 isn't an option.) | ||||

23... Kg5 24. Be7 |
Running out of ideas i decided to try something crazy, which if you ever play me regulary you will learn to expect. Also you'll notice that i tend to be pretty ignorant towards defence. I'm all about attack, attack, attack, and as one last throw of the dice, i played Be7?? 'A good sacrifice is one that is not nesscessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused' - Rudolph Splelmann. The main aim of this move was to divert the attention away from my attack and i didn't really need my bishop anyway. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Nxe7 25. Bd3 |
Blocks blacks king's escape route around the back. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Nc6 |
Nf5 is the move here giving black excellent chances to hold on for the win but.... perphaps underestimating the strength of whites current attack, black maybe thinks that Nc6?? is sufficient. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Re6e5+ |
But after Nc6 mate is forced with another sack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Nxe5 27. Rxe5+ Kg4 |
Black will get mated which ever square the king moves to. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. h3+ Kh4 29. g3+ Kxh3 30. Rh5+ |
One final sack to finish the game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Nxh5 31. Bf5# |
Checkmate! I appreciate that this game is not the best for tactical awareness and probably could have been won easier, but it is worth mentioning that when sacrificing pieces, if you take too long thinking over whether the sack is sound or not your oppontent is going to catch on that you want them to take it which is why i didn't especially take the time over my moves and didn't nesscessarily play what was best. However i hope the final outcome makes up for all this , after all not every game is won when you're the equivalent of 13 pawns down :) Thanks to Oinegue for playing and thanks to everybody who looks at my game. comments are much appreciated, even if it's just about how bad my spelling is, lol | ||||
