24. Bd5
|
White has to make a do or die attack instead of waiting passively for my pawns to advance. |
 
|
| |
|
|
24... b3 25. Bxe6 fxe6
|
Maybe Qxe6 was stronger, but I was too impatient to allow Rd5. |
|
| |
|
|
26. Nh6+ Kf8
|
Obviously Kh8 loses to Nf7 . |
|
| |
|
|
27. Rf5+
|
White realizes he must play a risky attack, because playing safe will only let me advance my pawns easily. |
|
| |
|
|
27... exf5 28. Qxf5+ Ke7
|
I cannot allow White to take my rook with check. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Re1+
|
White wants me to play Kd8, allowing Nf7 . |
|
| |
|
|
29... Qe6
|
I can give up my queen because my passed pawns will promote soon. |
|
| |
|
|
30. Ng8+
|
A last desperate attempt to stop my pawns. White wants my rook off the c-file so that I won't be able to promote as easily. |
|
| |
|
|
30... Rxg8 31. Rxe6+ Rxe6
|
Now all I have to do is get my king safe and promote. |
|
| |
|
|
32. Qc5+
|
White controls my pawn's promoting square. |
|
| |
|
|
32... Kd7 33. Kh2
|
White can't do anything in this position. His only chance is to keep checking my king, hoping for perpetual check. |
|
| |
|
|
33... Rc8
|
Now White "has" to check my king to avoid losing. |
|
| |
|
|
34. Qd5+ Rd6
|
Once White runs out of checks, there'll be nothing stopping me from promoting. The rest of the game was easy. |
|
| |
|
|
35. Qf7+ Kd8 36. Qf8+ Kc7 37. Qf7+ Kb6 38. Qxb3+ Ka5
|
White resigned, because he has run out of checks, and there is nothing stopping me from queening. This game is a good demonstration of the power of pawns, especially in closed positions. |
