thinking i can afford the lose, i decide to try and keep to my game plan to double rooks |

cant afford 2 lost pawns and also took a step back thought of an annotation i once read on GK which in my own words said to imagine all the pieces but the pawns remained in an endgame, connected pawns are more powerful than isolated pawns, always try and keep them connected, so thinking of the endgame I retake with 29.dxc4 |

and here comes the e4 push |

|

getting more ammunition on the weakened e file |

|
| |
|
|
31. Qh6
|
trying to prevent the king from getting back out into the open |

|
| |
|
|
31... e3
|
pushing further and threatening f2, so i decide to double the rookos on the e file hoping to muscle my way in |

|

|
|
32. Rfe2 f5
|
preparing to squeeze tighter and connect his pawns in the centre |

better i think was 33. d3 pushing the passed pawn while threatening to weaken my e file rooks |

|

! i'll give myself an exclamation here for a 1300 rated player, i thought this was a great move as i could see the end in sight... if 34.dxe3 35.Rxe3, Rxe3 36.Rxe3 and im up a piece while threatening blacks queen. If 36.Qxe3 37.Qxe3 threatening c5 and pushing my connected pawns to victory... |

|

|
|
34... d3
|
I think a few moves too late |

|

! another exclamation for me i think deserved, threatening mate on g7 while opening my fire power on the e file |

|
| |
|
|
35... cxd4
|
practically forced stopping the mate on g7, but now i have the fire power on the e file and fire away |

|
| |
|
|
36. Re2xe6
|
bang - threatening blacks queen |

|
| |
|
|
36... Qc8
|
nothing can stop me now |

|

|
|
37. Re6e7
|
threatneing g7 mate |

|
| |
|
|
37... Qf8
|
last ditched effort hoping for a drawn out endgame and me missing mate on h7, but... |

I didnt miss it. I was excited about how I played my end game thus i wanted to try an annotation. As i have said earlier, this is my first annotation so constructive comments are appreciated. I purposely removed my opponents name from this annotation as I dont agree with publicly annotating a game when i dont have the permission from my opponent, so in respect for my opponent i maintain his annominity. |
