Clearing my d1 to h5 diagonal with power...threatening c6 Knight with no seeming back-up to do so.
However.... |

He saw the pin to his Queen in front of his King and decided to leave my offered Knight alone. |

I just bring him back to attack the exposed (too early) Queen. |

I take another pawn and check at the same time. |

His King is on the run without a safe haven. |

I ensure that the King continues to run someplace where I can get to him to checkmate. |

Merely a diversion but a good one to help the King last longer. |

A check with my passed pawn will make the King on the run again. |

A chase but the best I felt I could do with what I had to cage the King. |

I knew ahead there was only 3 moves the King could make with this. He chose this move which ends in checkmate. |
