16... Bxh4 17. Qh3 |
The IM said that I am doing quite well for my rating. I simply responded that I am following the principles I’ve learned over the years | ||||

17... Be7 18. Qg3 |
A wonderful move that puts my queen on a stronger, more active position | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Rf7 |
One of the best moves available. I was expecting 18. Qe8 | ||||

19. d5 Nd8 20. Nf4 Ba6 21. Bb3 |
I know you aren’t supposed to use pieces to protect pawns but I felt that I needed my pieces on active squares to continue to pressure black’s position (indirectly) | ||||

21... Bb7 22. Be3 |
Connects my rooks and finally completes my development | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... a4 23. Ba2 Ra7 |
Again, I was expecting a different response, like 23. … b5 | ||||

24. dxe6 Nxe6 25. c5 |
I felt my position was improving little by little. It was at this point that the IM decided to spend more time on my board as well | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Bc8 26. c6 Nxf4 |
A strong move, but I was expecting 26. … d5 | ||||

27. Bxf4 |
Long term, I see a way to win a bishop, depending on black’s response | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... dxc6 28. h6 |
Potentially wins a bishop and long-term plans to force a mate net | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... g6 29. e6 |
Definitely a game changer! | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Rf6 30. Bg5 Bxe6 |
?! - Black acknowledges that this was a critical mistake on his part. | ||||

31. Rxe6 Kf8 32. Qe5 |
Black resigns here as he acknowledges there’s very little he can do to salvage his position. He does test me to find the mate in the position | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... Qd8 33. Rxf6+ Bxf6 34. Qe6 Qd7 35. Qxd7 |
The final domino has fallen. Not only is the position lost, and the king has lost key defenders, but it is mate next turn regardless of what black plays | ||||

35... Bxg5 36. Qf7# |
