|
Nothing fancy here, just direct attacking play. |

17. Kb1
|
Scooting the king off the c-file and preparing, if necessary, to play Rc1 to defend the c-pawn. |

|
|
|
17... a5
|
Black throws his last remaining foot soldier at my king position. Black's attack is not dangerous. White's, however, is just gaining speed. |

|

18. Bh6
|
The direct assault begins!!! |

|
|
|
18... Nh5
|
The only move to avoid material losses. |

|
|
|
19. Ba6
|
A little finesse I wanted to throw in, to get the rook to move off of the c-file, the purpose will be clear in the next move. |

|

19... Rca8

20. Be2
|
Now if Black returns to the c-file with ...Rac8, White would have the move Be2 for free! |

|
|
|
20... a4
|
Forcing the knight to c1, as I dont want any bishop sac tricks on the a-pawn. |

|

21. Nc1

21... Bc4
|
Double-question mark. Black had to play ...Bf6 to guard against my next move. Tactically it fails, but why would the attacker want to exchange more pieces anyway? |

|
|
|
22. Bxg7
|
Black is faced with disasterous material losses. |

|
|
|
22... Nxg7

23. Qh6

|
|
|
23... Bg5
|
Black must return the piece to clear the 7-th rank for defense, but this overloads the queen and the bishop on c4 drops. |

Too many jobs for the queen. |
