12. Qf3
|
Although really, I could've played this last move. I was a little bit afraid that black could play f6, complicating matters, on the move before. However, if he did (or does now), I have Rxe6 , winning the queen. |

12... Nd7f6
|
A very reasonable move. In addition to the threat on f7, I'm also attacking the Nd5 3 times, and it was only defended twice due to the pin on e6. But this isn't adequate, because... |

|
13. Bxd5
|
This move forces a recapture, otherwise black just loses the Bb7. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Nxd5
|
Bxd5 was better. Yes, it loses the Nf6, but what follows is much worse. This opens up the f7 square... |

|
|
14. Qxf7+
|
Obvious but strong. In fact, I made this move so quickly that I didn't realize just how strong it was. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Kd8
|
Forced. Now, Rxe6 looks tempting, but there is a better move... |
|
| |
|
|
15. Nxe6+
|
!! This ends the game. Black has only two legal moves. If Kc8, 16. Qe8 Qd8 17. Qxd8#, and if Qxe6, white not only wins the queen, but can force the wipeout of all of black's pieces by move 22. A good game by theinnergame, as I continue to claw my way out of a negative team score.
