14. Nc3
|
blocked for the meantime and white has finally developed his b-knight |
 
|
| |
|
|
14... c6 15. O-O
|
thats better. Now black must move his knight |
|
| |
|
|
15... Ne5
|
temporarily blocks the attack on the e-file but the knight is safe |
|
| |
|
|
16. Rfe1
|
!! the rook is now holding the file as strongly as the combined black queen and rook |
|
| |
|
|
16... Qf6
|
not the best position for the queen at this stage, but it releases the pressure on the e-file after 17.Bd3! |
|
| |
|
|
17. Bd3
|
!!! masterful move restricting the black kings escape square on h7 the black knight is now thoroughly pinned as 18.Rxe8# |
|
| |
|
|
17... Qg5
|
lining up for a three-way fork on f3, black doesn't see that this is a huge blunder |
|
| |
|
|
18. h4
|
!! the queen should retreat but... |
|
| |
|
|
18... Nf3+
|
?? a three way fork, but after 19.Kf1 black is in serious trouble:
If 19...Nxd4 then 20.Rxe8#
If 19...Nxe1 then 20.hxg5 wins the black queen
If 19...Nd2 then 20.Kg1 and white still threatens mate and black's queen
If 19...Rxe1 then 20.Rxe1 threatens mate
Black was finished and yet white resigned here! Incredible! |
