23... Bd7 |
To be fair, I do have to be careful, since black still has a lot of firepower on the board if he can coordinate it, and my Bb3 is totally lost. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
24. Nf6 |
This at least eliminates the pesky revived white bishop. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
24... Bxe8 25. Qxe8 |
And still threatens the black rook, preventing further development. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
25... Bc5+ |
I expected Nc6, threatening the white queen and at least showing some fight. This, however, is easily parried. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
26. Kh1 Re7 |
? Overlooking white's 27th, I think. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
27. Qxb5+ |
Winning the black bishop with check. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
27... Kc8 28. Qxc5+ |
And threatening the black rook. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
28... Rc7 29. Qf8+ |
Forcing the king back to b7. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
29... Kb7 30. Qb4+ |
And now the bishop is no longer lost. Black is hopeless here, and it's only a matter of time. At this point, I asked Allen if he wanted to throw in the towel. Allen said to me "Well not zactly, Ill run round a little bit. Make ya hit a movin target." | |||||

30... Kc8 31. Bxc4 |
Many things look devastating for white; black will be mated soon. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
31... Nd7 |
Hastening his demise. At this point, I saw mate in three. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
32. Ba6+ Kd8 |
Rb7 would've lasted one move longer. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33. Qf8# |
1-0. And this is checkmate, as the black knight is immobile due to the rook on d1. A good game, but a better example of why you should develop your pieces -- at the very least, your opponent will get a big attack if he's courageous to simply break into the pawn structure. Hope you enjoyed it! Ethan | |||||
