18. g4 |
She moves the attacked g pawn. OK what would you play here dear reader? | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18... Nxg4 |
Stockfish doesn't like this move and prefers 18....Ng6 with advantage to black, while now Stockfish puts the game as level. Black sacrifices a knight for two pawns, but gets a certain initiative. I think white's position is harder to play, there are traps she could fall into! | ||||||||

I take back | ||||||||

20. Rh2 |
The attacked rook drops back. Stockfish likes Bg5 here, taking control of an important diagonal, and stopping white from castling, but I chose a different move. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
20... Bf5 |
Attacking both the pawn on e4 and the knight on g1 | ||||||||

I throw in a check | ||||||||

22. Rf2 |
Rook blocks. Stockfish like simply Bxe4 here, but I decided to build up the pressure. | ||||||||

I take again. | ||||||||

26. Kxe2 |
She takes back, and we have this unusual material imbalance, where she has two rooks and a knight for a queen and two pawns. In theory she is two points up, but her pawns are weak and isolated and hard to defence against my roaming queen. | ||||||||

26... Qf4 |
Attacking f5 and also threatening Qc4+ picking up either the d pawn or the c pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
27. Rg1+ |
The wrong rook! Stockfish prefers Rg2+ | ||||||||

28. Nd2 |
Temporarily meeting the threats to the f pawn and the fork on c4, but it allows another fork. | ||||||||
