13. Nxe4 Nxe4 |
Here it seems like I am doing good and will soon get an advantage since White must take d6 to avoid losing a pawn. White realizes his position is bad, so he must take drastic action. | |||||||||

|
14. f5 |
With this move, White signifies he would like to try a do or die attack against my uncastled king. | |||||||||

14... dxe5 15. Nxe6 |
I knew it was coming | |||||||||

15... fxe6 |
I have nothing better to do than accept, defend, and hold onto my extra piece | |||||||||

|
16. Bh5+ |
I'm not afraid of White's sacrifice, because with proper defense, my king will be completely safe. | |||||||||

16... Ke7 |
My position looks somewhat ridiculous, but that can easily be changed. The fact that I am up a minor piece is a lot harder to change. | |||||||||

17. fxe6 |
Of course White wants me to take the pawn to expose my king further, but I have a better defensive move. | |||||||||

17... Nf6 |
White's pieces have no way to penetrate my position. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||

18. Bf7 |
White probably realizes his attack has failed, so all he can do is hold onto his passed pawn while restricting my king. | |||||||||

18... Rd8 19. Qe1 |
The only meaningful place for the queen | |||||||||

19... Rd5 |
Even though I'm up a piece which is usually totally winning, first I must get my king safe so I can actually activate my extra piece. I need this odd-looking rook move to get my king to d8 then to c8 etc. | |||||||||

20. Qf2 |
White can't really do much to try and save this position, except controlling my queenside weaknesses on b6 and a7. | |||||||||

20... Kd8 |
I was hoping White would fall for my trick, because if White carelessly plays Bb6? thinking he has won my queen, I have Bc5! a countertactic which forces the trade of pieces, going into a slightly simpler position where I'm still up a piece. White should try keeping as much material on the board as possible so my extra piece won't be as advantageous as in an endgame | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
21. e7+ |
White sees through my trick and instead wants to trade his bishop and pawn for my rook. Even though White wins the exchange, it still simplifies material on the board, and I'll still have a material advantage (something to always consider ater your opponent has sacrificed) | |||||||||

21... Bxe7 22. Bxd5 Nxd5 |
Now I wind up with two minor pieces against a rook. Two minors are generally considered better since they are two attacking forces, while a rook is only one. Although in some cases, a rook can be better than two pieces if the position is extremely open with hardly any other pieces. | |||||||||

23. Rad1 |
White can't really do anything here. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
23... Kc8 |
Walking to safety | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
24. Qf5+ Kb8 |
Now that my king is safe, I can finally take advantage of my lead in material | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
25. Bf2 |
White's bishop was in danger and White spent a move moving it, so now I have the initiative. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
25... Nf4 |
I was happy here, since I'm hitting the g2 pawn, and g3?? loses to Ne2# | |||||||||
