15... Qd7 16. Nxb4
|
I grab the Bishop like a bum grabs a bottle of MD 20/20. Material equality!
I'm not convinced the rook/queen pair on the d file isn't going to be a problem. |

16... Nd4 17. Qc3
|
I'm gonna get that rook! |
|
| |
|
|
17... Nf6
|
Or not. I really had it figured that the Rook was doomed. This was a good move in my opinion, I am forced to protect the e pawn. I also see that if Qxd2 then N-f3 and my queen is cooked. |

I probably opted for the wrong rook, I never have figured that out. One quote I read said something to the effect that you should consider which rook to move for a long time,...then move the other one! |
|

|
|
18... O-O
|
Black looks stronger now, esp with the rook on the 7th rank! |
|
| |
|
|
19. Nd5
|
He has to trade knights (or move it away) or risk wrecking his king side pawn structure. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Nxd5 20. exd5
|
still materially equal, but black looks more able to attack. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Rc2
|
And he does! |
|
| |
|
|
21. Qd3
|
I have had my eye on the e5 pawn, now he has to protect it. And I have effectively broken the Queen/rook pair he had. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Rxb2
|
He opts to trade. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Rxe5
|
Fine with me. |
|
| |
|
|
22... Nc2
|
He had to move it, but I don't think this was the best spot. |
|
| |
|
|
23. a3
|
The Knight has no way out now. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Qa4
|
I pondered the board for some time here, and saw an opportunity. I'll stop the jabbering until the end now, and just let you play it out. |

24. d6 Qxa3 25. Bxf7+ Rxf7 26. Re8+ Rf8 27. Qd5+ Kh8 28. Rxf8#
|
And there it was. Right out of the Bobby Fisher Teaches Chess book! ( I think anyhow, I gave my copy to a buddy.)
Back rank attack, deflecting the king with the queen check, all started by a pretty innocuous pawn move and a bishop sacrifice. Sweet!
Thanks for the great games remybear, I hope we play hundreds more! |
