14. Qg6 |
!? And here is where it gets interesting. Not happy with simply having the better position, my ego gets the better of me and I play a very aggressive move. My plan is to now play Ng5 and start looking for mating threats. | ||||||

14...Qe8 and black can start successfully repelling the threat. | ||||||

15. Ng5 |
Now I've reached my desired position, but am faced with the problem of not losing my bishop after Nf7 . I have my first real doubts as to the sanity of playing Qg6 so blatently. I'm not worried about black snagging the e pawn - it's black playing Qe8 that has me worried. I continue to send telepathic signals convincing my opponent that Qe8 is a BAD move;) | ||||||

Aggressively hitting my queen while advancing. | ||||||

16. Qh5 |
Ahhh....there it is. White threatens a discovered check that will cause black a great deal of pain. Qe8 no longer worries me as it can be blocked by Bg6. | ||||||

16... Rf6 |
My opponent went into a deep think here, and played what I consider to be the only sane move. He can't prevent the check that is coming, so he starts creating an escape route for his king. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Bg6+ |
Of course. I can now play some forcing moves that will gain material. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Kg8 |
Forced. | ||||||

18. Qh7+ Kf8 19. Qh8+ Ke7 20. Qxg7+ Kd6 21. bxc5+ Kxc5 22. Rc1+ |
A nice six move combination I cooked up back at move 17. Black goes into another long think. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Kd6 |
? This was probably the critical losing move. 22...Kb6 would have probably bought black some dearly needed time. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Nde4+ |
! My favorite move of the game, as it forces a capture which will allow me to play Ne4 , forcing black to advance his king or play Nd3 (which is easily sidestepped) or Bd3. After any of those moves, I play Rd1 and black is in a world of hurt. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... dxe4 |
Forced. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Nxe4+ |
As planned. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Kd5 |
Probably the worst of three bad choices. | ||||||

This is just medieval:) | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Nd3+ |
I'll give my opponent credit - he valiantly tries to save himself......however....... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Ke2 |
I can safely walk into HIS pin because his knight is pinned itself! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Rxf2+ |
Black keeps swinging. This rook was hanging anyway, so he launches a last ditch attack himself. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Nxf2 |
! Oh, this is so nice:) My Bg6 now hits the pinned knight! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Qa5 |
Black eyes grabbing my a pawn with check. | ||||||
