13... Rc8 |
developing my rook to a semi open file. Remember Alfred's advise: Don't make a single move, improve the board by your move! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. f3 |
Black is denying my knight from going to e4, but he is weakening his kingside. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Nfd7 |
This move may look bizarre to you! By playing 14.f3 white makes my knight meaningless on f6, so I thought to reposition it and to make better use of it. Now white's knight is in a great danger on e5 and can't stay there any longer. If white takes my knight I take it back with a tempo. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Nd3 |
White retreats his knight to keep it on the board but he is yielding the center and I can consider playing e5 in the near future to open up the position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Nc6 |
Again, improving my game and preparing e5 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Qd2 |
A normal developing move. White may consider castling on the queenside, but it is very risky because all of my pieces are now sitting on the queenside too. You may argue that black's set up is not pretty here because all of his pieces are sitting in one corner of the board! Yes, you are right. So I need a blow to open up the position and to mobilize my pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... e5 |
This move will leave me with an isolated central pawn structure. But if you look deeply to the position you will recognize that this pawn is never considered a weakness because it can't be blocked by white's pieces. When you have a structure with an isolated pawn, usually the best strategy is to push this weak pawn. Remember Victor Kortschnoj advised: Weaknesses must be pushed in order to changed into strengths | ||||||

not a good move! I think white's position is critical after this positional blunder. White should've castled on the kingside: 17.0-0 Qb6(pinning white's pawn) 18.Rf2 (removing the pin) exd4 19.Bb4 Nxb4 20.Qxb4 Qxb4 21.Nxb4 Nf6 22.Rd1 and white would have good chances to survive. | ||||||
| | |||||||

17... d4 |
Another in-between move, destroying black's position. {If this pawn is not removed, Black will have a dangerous knight outpost on e3. Knights work best with queens, and black has both knights left. White's immediate need is to prevent, if possible, the incursion of a knight to e3. Al} | ||||||

Now you can feel that white is in a real trouble! Let's see how: if white takes my knight on e5 then after 19.Nxe5 Nxb4! 20.c3 (White can't take my d4 pawn because of Nxc2 a family fork!) 20...dxc3 21.bxc3 Re8 22.cxb4 Rxe5 23.Kf2 Qb6 24.Kf1 Rae8, and white is much better. You may think of defending white's knight by playing 22.f4 instead of taking black's knight. this is a total blunder because after 22.f4 Nd3 ! 23.Kd1 Nxe5 24.fxe5 Rad8 knifing the queen! If white castles on the kingside instead of taking my knight then after: 19.0-0 Nc4 20.Qf4 Ne3 (see how strong my knight is) 21.Rfc1(forced) Re8 22.Bd2 Nxc2 23.Rxc2 Qxd3 24.Rac1 Re2! and white is in big trouble. And finally if white castles on the queenside he will lose very quickly: 19.0-0-0 Nc4 20.Qf4 Ne3 21.Rdg1 Qa4 22.Ne1 Nxb4 and white's king is attacked by all of my pieces. White can't take my knight because of the queen's check on a1 and mate in the next move. He also can't take my d4 pawn with his queen because of Na2 winning the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Kf2 |
I failed to find the logic behind this move! White hasn't solved any of his problems by this desparate move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Nc4 |
this precious knight now is attacking white's queen and heading to his fantastic outpost on e3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qc1 Ne3 |
my knight on e3 now is a devastating force. Black is ready to launch the final attack! | ||||||

21. Bd2 |
white is realizing how dangerous my knight is on e3 and he is going to eliminate it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Ne5 |
There is a nasty trap lying behind this move!! If white takes this knight then: 22...Rxc2! 23.Qe1 Qa5 24.b4 Qxe5 and black get back his material with a high interest! And if white takes the e4 knight by the bishop then: 22...dxe3 23.Qxe3 Rxc2 24.Kg1 Nxd3 and white is doomed! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Nb4 |
Attacking my queen and preventing my rook from penetrating into white's game on c2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qf6 |
My queen has harmoniously joined the attack . Now I have the option of N5g4 a poisonous check! You may think that black is going to lose his d-pawn after 23.Bxe3 dxe3 24.Kxe3. Yes, you are right but black will have more than enough compensation for that! The king is coming up the board and I can attack it relentlessly with all of my pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Bxe3 dxe3+ 24. Kxe3 |
Yes he is coming! You see that my queen and knight are very close to white's king and usually a queen can work very harmoniously with a knight against an enemy king. {The attack is an instructive example of the way queen and knight work together. Al} | ||||||

Right after this move I realized that Re8 was stronger, but this move is fine too. Actually this move was a result of a long calculations. If white plays 25.Nd5 then after 25...Qg5 26.f4 Nc4 27.Kd4 Qxg2 28.b3 Qf2 29.Kc3 Qf3 30.Kd4 Nd6 white is going to be mated in a few moves! If white plays 5.Nd3 this is even worse! because after 25...Nxd3 26.Kxd3 Qf5 27.Ke3 Rxc2 28.Qd1 Re8 29.Kd4 Qd7# a sad destiny for white! | ||||||

This obvious blunder made the game even easier to win! | ||||||
