Blunder. | |||||||

Blunder! NxQa2 would be slightly better. Free queen. Nine points. By the mid game five thoughts should precede each move. 1. Can I force mate? 2. Can my opponent force mate? 3. Can I take a high value piece? 4. Can I block my opponent’s acquisition of an HVP? 5. Should I develop more positional advantage or push a pawn? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Qa5 |
Black recognizes the error and withdraws to safety. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. Ke2 |
I don’t know. White pretends to sacrifice a knight? Black rejects the phony bait. | |||||||

16... Qg5 17. Kd3 |
The king was here two moves back. Why have the king dance a jig while black develops? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Qf5+ 18. e4 Qa5 19. e5 Nh6 |
I like Ne7 better fore the reason stated. Though black pointlessly sacrificed the ability to castle. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20. g3 fxe5 21. Nh3 Nf5 22. Bb2 Nxd4 23. Re1 |
White decides to sacrifice the queen? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Nxf3 24. Re3 c5 |
Whoa. Black decides the knight is not worth saving, after it trampled the white queen. Nd4 would protect it. This c5 just hampers the queens open rank. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. Rxf3 Qb4 |
The queen has no greater access here than where she was. Ke7 gets the rook into the field. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Kc2 |
I was going to complain about moving the king again, but this at least unleashes the white bishop a bit. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Qa5 |
Queen returns to a5 a third time. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. Ne4 |
Nice. Frees the black bishop, threatening e5, and gives the knight greater mobility too. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... b6 |
I’m thinking Qe1 has the potential for some damage. Though white does have lots of squares covered. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Bxe5 |
Yes. Black had no way to defend that pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28... Qa3 29. Bxg7 Qa2+ 30. Kd3 Qb1+ 31. Ke3 Rg8 32. Bh6 Rxg3 |
Ok, that don’t make a lick of sense. Rook for pawn? White has both a knight and pawn on that square. This trade wasn’t worth it. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
33. Rxg3 b5 34. Nd6 |
Nope. Black takes the bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
34... bxc4 35. Rg8+ Ke7 |
Oh, bad move. White nets a rook and bishop with Nxc8+! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
36. Rxc8 |
Oh no. What had been eight points now becomes an even tree point trade. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
36... Kxd6 37. Nf4 cxb3 38. Rh8 Qd1 |
White must watch out for Qd4+ which will cost him a rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
39. Kf2 |
That didn’t defend against Qd4+. | |||||||
