|
at this point i've developed all 4 minor pieces and black's are still all on his back rank.... |

|
|
|
7... c6
|
Black wastes another move and takes away the best square from his knight |

|
|
|
8. Qd2
|
i am now prepared to castle long |

|
|
|
8... b5
|
Black advances yet another pawn. |

|
|
|
9. Bxg8
|
i decide to stop letting black take space with his pawns and this prevents black from castling kingside |

|
|
|
9... Rxg8 10. O-O-O
|
now i have my queen and rook focused on the pawn on d6 |

|
|
|
10... Rh8
|
another pointless move |

|
|
|
11. Bc5
|
Black cannot play dxc5 without losing his queen |

|
|
|
11... d5 12. Bxf8
|
i take black's better bishop and i will gain a pawn after Rxf8 |

|
|
|
12... Rxf8 13. Nxe5
|
i debated exd5 but i know that i can play that move next |

|
|
|
13... Qg5
|
black forces a trade of queens and doubles his paws on the g file |

|
|
|
14. Qxg5 hxg5 15. exd5
|
finally i get a chance to play exd5 |

|
|
|
15... Bb7
|
I don't know what black was thinking here. Rxf2 seemed logical |

26... Rg5 27. Re2 Rc8 28. b3 g6 29. Rde4 Kg7 30. Re4e5

|
30... Rg3 31. Rxa5 g5 32. Rb5 Ra8 33. Rxb4 Rxa2 34. Ra4
|
Ra4! black is now forced to trade rooks and resignes because his other rook is trapped and his king cannot cross the E file, so nothing can stop me from getting 2 more queens |
