11. Ba3
! This builds up pressure on the Kingside and prevents castling. This is the major defect of 10...dxe5.

 
11... e4
Black foolishly tries to strike back at White. He should have concentrated on development e.g. 11...Bd7

 
12. Qb3
This again builds pressure. This is another thematic move of the Evans. I was wuilling to give up my Knight for Control of the e-file for my rook.

 
12... Qd7
Black again makes a foolish move trying to defend f7, it is better to give up the f7 pawn and get the king to safety. Why not take the knight you might say? Oh yeah because he doesn't want to give white control of an open e-file. This is kind of smart. Actually, defending f7 is black's only play, as white is threatening mate in two. If black takes the knight 12) ... exf3, then 13) Bxf7 Kd7 (only legal move) 14) Qe6#.

THis move builds even more pressure on f7 pressure.

 
13... h6
? This is a pointless move becuase it forced me to do exactly what I was gonna do anyway! And it weakens his kingside pawn structure not that that matters because black won't get a chance to castle anyway.

 
14. Bxf7+
I regain some of my material defecit. 13...h6 really hindered my master plan.

 
14... Kd8
This forced unless you count 14.Qxf7????? as a falllible move.

 
15. Ne6+
! I keep the attack on forcing the sacrifice of the Black Queen. This is really makeing 13...h6 look really productive now.

 
15... Qxe6
Absolutely forced! he can't do anything else.

 
16. Bxe6
"Come to Daddy Queeny!" I accept the Queen with open arms.

 
16... Nxd4
Black's Knightforks my Bishop and my Queen.

 
17. Rad1
I produce a clever move which pins the Black knight and gives me control of the d-file.

 
17... Bxe6
??? Absolutely pointless. I'm not going to suggest moves which are better becuase Black has no chance anyway and if I were black i would resign!

 
18. Qxe6
I accept the material.

 
18... Re8 19. Qf7 Rb8 20. Nb5 a6
This tries ti drive away my aggressive knight.

 
21. Rxd4+
I'm willing to sac my rook for mate ( 21...Bxd4 22. Qxc7 CHECKMATE)

 
21... Kc8
Black sees the threat and avoisds it.

 
22. Qxc7+
I sacrifice my queen for mate... which it hink is pretty cool myself all though i am probably being arrogant.

 
22... Bxc7
Forced!
