22. Nxf7

DEMOLITION TIME! |
 
|

|
|
22... Kxf7 23. Bxg6+
|
DEMOLITION TIME - TWO! |
|
| |
|
|
23... Kxg6
|
I have pulled my opponent's King out into the open and please notice just how alone he really is. We can even take away more of his pieces - because they aren't defending their King anyways. |
|
| |
|
|
24. Qg4+
|
Check you very much! |
|
| |
|
|
24... Kh7
|
RUN-AWAY! One of the King's three options when he is in check. Do you remember the other two? |
|
| |
|
|
25. Qh5+
|
CHECK-A-DOODLE-DO! |
|
| |
|
|
25... Kg8
|
RUNAWAY. |
|

26. Bh6

Now my opponent's King is in a BOX! I am threatening a checkmate in two - but now Sigmund tries to give back more material in order to open up diagonals that lead to my King - all for the sake of trying to set up a defense against my attack. Unfortunately for Sigmund he also opens up another road for my pieces to travel down in order to get at his King. |
|
| |
|
|
26... Bxg2+
|
Check! |
|
| |
|
|
27. Kxg2
|
ONLY MOVE! I must capture. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Qb7+
|
Check! What is wrong with this plan? What important line has opened up for one of my three line (or laser beam) pieces? It is true that the Black Queen will be able to defend the g7-square after Sigmund's Knight on d7 moves but what did he overlook? |
|
| |
|
|
28. Kh3
|
Un-check and give me the g-file! |
|
| |
|
|
28... Nxe5
|
The nervous Black King is looking around and asking - to no one in particular - is it safe yet? So do you know what line it is that Sigmund has given to me? WHAT IS MY NEXT MOVE GOING TO BE? |
|
| |
|
|
29. Rfg1+
|
But of course! : P
I only need three of the four pieces left for the checkmate. Here - have my Rook!
Sigmund resigned because of a line like the following:
29. Rg1+ Bxg1 30. Rxg1+ (The other one - a very good example of why we want our Rooks to be looking at each other!) 30. ...Kh8 31. Bg7+ Kg8 32. Bxe5 + (Discovered Check!) 32. ...Kf8 33. Qh8+ Ke7 34. Rg7 + + ! CHECK AND MATE! A rather fun attacking game of chess - wouldn't you agree? Perhaps not a perfect game but still an enjoyable one to play through. |
