|
26... b5
|
I take this opportunity to free the pressure on my king's position. |
 
|
| |
|
|
27. cxb5 Nxb5
|
Now Qxb5?? is impossible because of my sneaky Ba6!! |
|
| |
|
|
28. Qe3
|
White is trying to counterattack me. If he gets my c-pawn (or even removes it from the c-file with b4), then he will have a lot of strong attacking possibilities along the c-file. |
|
| |
|
|
28... g3
|
Continuing my attack. |
|
| |
|
|
29. f3 Nd4
|
I take away the king's only escape square. Now White's only chance to survive is to sacrifice with Rxd4 and try for a counterattack on my king. And blocking with Qg1?? is no good because of Rfh6!! |
|
| |
|
|
30. Bd3
|
White has overlooked that his king has no escape squares, and must lose his queen next move. Even though my winning this game was based on White's blunder here, it still shows that launching a desperate counterattack will pay off, because if I had remained in my passive position, White would never have been in a position to make a blunder. |
|
| |
|
|
30... Rh1+
|
You should've seen the look on his face. |
|
| |
|
|
31. Qg1 Rxg1+ 32. Kxg1
|
The game isn't over yet. Having an extra queen for a rook and a pawn isn't that big a material advantage, and there are still a lot of pieces on the board to work with. |
|
| |
|
|
32... Bd6
|
My bishop is headed for e3. |
|
| |
|
|
33. Nc2
|
White wants my knight off the d4 outpost. |
|
| |
|
|
33... Nxc2 34. Bxc2 Bf4 35. Kf1
|
White makes a preparatory move. |
|
| |
|
|
35... Ba6+ 36. Bd3 Bxd3+ 37. Rxd3 c4
|
Not completely necessary. |
|
| |
|
|
38. Rd5 Rh6 39. Ke2
|
Stopping Rh1 |
|
| |
|
|
39... Rd6 40. Rad1
|
Allowing piece trades is usally bad for the side down in material, but it is fine here because my rook will be strong if it gets to d2. |
|
| |
|
|
40... Rxd5 41. Rxd5
|
Threatening Rc5. |
|
| |
|
|
41... Kb7 42. Nc5+ Ka8
|
My plan is to safeguard my king and get my queen to f2 where I can eat White's kingside pawns and promote my g-pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
43. Na4
|
I'm guessing White wanted to maneuver his knight to the more active b5 square. |
|
| |
|
|
43... Qa7
|
My queen is headed to f2 to eat the kingside pawns, and I'll play Bd6 if Black tries to block on c5. |
|
| |
|
|
44. Rd8+ Bb8
|
Now my king is safe and Qf2 is unstoppable. |
|
| |
|
|
45. Kd2
|
White needs his king to help attack my king. If he doesn't do this, then Qf2 forces his king onto the back rank where his attack is hopeless. |
