The sad reality here -- there's nothing I can do to force the queens to stay on the board. Absolutely nothing. The best I can do is put my pieces in a more aggressive position if he does exchange. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Rc8 |
? Black doesn't want the exchange? I realize there are a lot of complications here, but after Qxe6 33. Nxe6, I don't really have a great feeling about my endgame chances with two knights vs. rook and bishop. The c-file is a nice place for the rook to roost, but I see now that a knight on e7 would be pretty for me! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Qe7 |
Will he let me put one there? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Qe8 |
Smart man... to say no to that. But now my position has become very threatening, and my knights are getting closer and closer to his boxed in king! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. Nf5 |
Now Qxe7 is met by Nfxe7, clearly worse for black. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Qd7 |
Black is just repeating moves, and with good reason (Qxg7 was threatening mate)! I'm going to try and go in for the kill! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. Nd6 |
Threatening the rook and Nf7 , among other things. Additionally, if black plays Qxe7, Nxe7 is still very strong for white (maybe even stronger than before!) | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Qxe7 |
??? Whoa, after all of black's great defense, this move is suicide. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36. Nxe7 |
Very smart. Forks the knight and bishop, but also threatens Nf7 checkmate! Black must play Rf8 to save the rook and avoid checkmate, hanging the bishop. Even so, the ensuing endgame of rook vs. two knights and an extra pawn doesn't leave black with much hope. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36... Rc7 |
? But this allows a very pretty and very unusual mate... | ||||||
| | |||||||

1-0. Thanks to bleddy71 for one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. I realize the game wasn't played perfectly by either of us, but it was a lot of fun and it had an amazing ending for me! | ||||||
