15... e5 |
A counter to whites attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Qb3 |
A miscalculation for white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nc4a5 |
This again puts two pieces in trouble for white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Qb6 |
Offering to trade queens and then gets to back-off the bishop after QxQ,NxQ,rook moves. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Qxb6 |
Ouch! black didn't need to give in to whites plan as exf4 is fine due to the rook guarding the queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Nxb6 Ra7 19. Be3 |
Now white is looking much better. White is down a piece but has the discovered attack on the rook yet to play. Rook to b8 was called for as it would of prevented this. Leaving the rooks on the back rank and able to be connected is usually good. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Nd4 |
Blocking the tactic. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. c3 |
Removing the blocker. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Nf5 21. Nxc8 Nxe3 22. Rxd7+ |
An intermezzio (inbetween move) that helps white greatly. Gets the rook out of trouble and allows the capture of the black rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Ke6 |
Was Ke8 better? | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Rd6+ |
23.Re7 is stronger as it flushes the king out from behind his pawn wall to f5. Kd5 allows Rd1 and gets another heavy piece into the mix for white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Kf7 24. Nxa7 |
Finally whites plan is done. He is now ahead in material, the difference of a rook vs. knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Nxg2 25. Rg1 Nc4 |
Offering rook for rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Rd7+ |
Don't think so! | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Ke6 27. Rxb7 Nf4 28. Rgxg7 |
Taking the g pawn earlier maybe not such a good idea now. White has two connected rooks on the 7th rank, a real strong battery. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Kf5 29. Nc6 Ng6 30. Rgxh7 |
Its free. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Rxh7 |
When behind in material and you trade pieces it makes for more of a difference in compareable strenghts. Say 11 vs 13 is better than 8 vs 6. The fewer pieces the least trouble you can generally make for your opponent. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Rxh7 Kg5 32. Ne7 Nxe7 |
This gives white a won game. I would prefer Nf4 as the two knights can be troublesome at times. Again trading pieces makes the difference more noticable. | ||||
| | |||||
|
33. Rxe7 |
White is ahead in material and has a simple win ahead. In hindsight: black had several chances to equalize and even pull ahead. Black just missed more things than white did. Hope I was clear in my annotations and this was instructive. | ||||
