22... Nc4 23. Bxb8 Nxb2 24. Bxa7 Nc4
|
I've had to move this Knight way too much. |
 
|
| |
|
|
25. a4
|
Now White gets aggressive and wants to Queen that pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Nf4
|
I've noticed in many of my games, I often make certain moves several moves later than I should have. We'll see this theme later in the game from Black as well. |
|
| |
|
|
26. Rc2 f5
|
I knew White would not take en passant here because he had not shown me all game that he would accept complications, he kept going along in a conservative style. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Ba6
|
Two pieces now block the a-pawn. White wants to rid himself of my Knight. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Ra8 28. Bxc4 Rxa7
|
A blunder, it traps my Rook with nowhere to go. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Bb5 Kf7 30. Ra2 Rc7 31. Ra1 Rc2 32. g3
|
Now White is worried about a check on his King, rather than pushing his pawn like he wanted to before, he can't make up his mind! |
|
| |
|
|
32... Nh3+
|
I'm not making anymore trades. |
|
| |
|
|
33. Kg2 Nxf2 34. Kf3 g5
|
Another move I should've made 4 moves ago. |
|
| |
|
|
35. Be2 Ne4 36. h4
|
Has White forgotten all about his passed pawn? It appears so. |
|
| |
|
|
36... Rc3+ 37. Kg2 Rxg3+ 38. Kf1 g4 39. a5 Nd2+
|
This was a blunder...f4 should've been the move here. I considered it but wasn't sure of its merit, so I decided to try and check Black as much as possible. |
|
| |
|
|
40. Kf2 Ne4+ 41. Kf1 Nd2+ 42. Kf2 Ne4+
|
Trying for the threefold draw, but White decided against it. |
|
| |
|
|
43. Ke1 Rg1+ 44. Bf1 Nc3
|
Another blunder, I wanted to make the move, g3, but again wasn't sure of myself. The game gets ugly from here on. |
|
| |
|
|
45. Kf2 Rh1 46. a6 Rh2+
|
According to Fritz, White can now successfully Queen his pawn, but... |
|
| |
|
|
47. Kg3 Rb2 48. a7
|
...this move gives it all away. Forced mate in 4...I didn't even see it until the checkmating move. |
|
| |
|
|
48... Ne4+ 49. Kf4 Rf2+ 50. Ke3 f4+
|
12 moves later, I finally make the f4 move! |
|
| |
|
|
51. Kd3 Rd2#
|
A surprise win for me...ugly, but a win nonetheless. |
