29. Nxb5
|
? and here's the error... the move he should've played was b4, to prevent me moving his knight... as it is, he took the bait, moved his knight anyway, and now his knight on d7 is pinned again... there is hope... |
|
| |
|
|
29... Rgf8
|
and the reason i wanted his knight pinned... i was expecting Qxg4, but i felt it was a necessary move, as my queen is tied to preventing mate...
i would never in a million years have expected him to play what he did... |
|
| |
|
|
30. Qh7+
|
? at first, i thought it was brilliant... but it's a glaring error that costs him the win... |
|
| |
|
|
30... Qxh7
|
forced |
|
| |
|
|
31. Bxh7
|
and now if i take the bishop, Nxf8 is game over... a successful queen trade? |
|
| |
|
|
31... Rf7
|
! no... his knight is still pinned, and now attacked twice, with his bishop also under threat... he must lose a piece... |
|
| |
|
|
32. Bg6
|
futile, really... |
|
| |
|
|
32... Rfxd7
|
he can't take the knight or Rxd1 mates in two... |
|
| |
|
|
33. Rxd7
|
sensible... he's still ahead on material... |
|
| |
|
|
33... Rxd7
|
i still threaten mate... but still, one would imagine i have only salvaged the draw i declined earlier... at best... |
|
| |
|
|
34. gxf4
|
?? and it's game over... he's cracked under the pressure... |
|
| |
|
|
34... Rd1+
|
happily i galavant around like i've gotten away with murder... i must confess, i didn't initially see the mate here, i played this for the fork next go to win the rook and edge ahead... it was only when he moved i saw the correct path... |
|
| |
|
|
35. Kg2
|
Re1 is futile... now i realise he can only move to g3 when checked next, and is then out of squares... |
|
| |
|
|
35... Nxf4+ 36. Kg3 Rg1#
|
and i fluke a vital win... not the best of games in terms of errors... we both played badly at times, and well at other times... but an enjoyable game nonetheless... and this win most certainly restored my faith in the dutch opening... ok, it can leave you wide open if you make the smallest of mistakes, but there are always dangerous attacking options... |
