A little luck, but it whorts an annotation. |

Finally someone who goes for the hard play! The issue is that I never faced this before, and it seems to become very tactical. I regret not to spend time on theory books. |

I win a tempo on his N, but he can win another on my B. Let's see... |

5... Nh5 6. e3

I lose my strong lsb, but I create a center that, I hope, won't be easy to undermine. |

As soon as move 6 I had the Caissa's devil inside of me. I was insane by playing the most unexpected move I could find. |

7. Ng5
|
Of course, if fxN, QxN+. Nevertheless, he can save the piece by grabbing my lsb. |

Now he has to choose: either try to save the N by Ng6, but in this case, f7+ would be very unpleasant for him, or to grab the pawn, and accept a piece exchange. He can take f6 with the Q, and this would probably be the best. If 8...Qxf6, 9. exNf4, Qxf4, 10. Qe2+, followed by Ne6, can provide - maybe - some compensation. But he went for |

...and I officially sacced a full piece. But my Q's diagonal is wide open. |

I'd say a good compensation for the piece. Now, I had two plans in mind: g3, in order to play Bh3+, but he can defend, probably with Nd4, so to block the check with Ne6. But I can't resist a good attacking castling... |

...with all sort of threats, including Ne4, of course. Qf7+ looks tempting, but after Ne7 blocking maybe his pieces can start to move, and I lose my sprint. |

?? This was a fatal mistake! Sometime, +1700 do those things... Qxd5+, Bd6 is not the best. |

?? Qe8 or Ne7 would have been better. d4 was an option, but after Bb5 my attack goes on. |

Probably he realized now that Ke6 is not possible due to Qf5#. |

His Q is mine, so I can go on attacking and bringing my pieces closer to his monarch. |

I wanted to play a more aggressive move, but I couldn' find it. So... |

The best square for the K was d8, but black is busted anyway. |

Now I think I missed 17. Qe8+, and if KxN, 18. c4+ and it is probably mate in few, but... |

Qf5+, and if Kd8, Qf6+ wins the other Rook. And if Ke8 or Ke7, QxBc8 wins. |
|

|
|
19. Bb5 Bb7 20. Qf5+ Ke7 21. Re1+

...but being able to bring the other R into the game was very tempting. |

21... Ne5 22. Qd7+
|
...and a good pin is always impressive... |
