18... Nd7
|
? wrong knight, i felt Nc6-e7-f5 would have given black quite a secure position |

19. Rh6
|
preparing to double on the h file |
|

|
|
19... Rf7
|
it appears black is trying to get his knight to f8 which makes his position appear quite secure. however he doesnt have enough time to play it |
|

20. Rxg6+
|
?! not a strong sac but white will have a local majority as blacks a8 rook isn't going anywhere fast and so i will have chances against the black king. one slip and it'll be game over |

20... hxg6 21. Qxg6+ Rg7
|
? much better is 21....Kf8 22.Rh1 Ke7 when the king escapes safely to the queenside, this would be a more stubborn test for whites dubious sacrifice |
|
| |
|
|
22. Qxe6+
|
gains a 3rd pawn for the rook |
|
| |
|
|
22... Kf8
|
the king now does come to f8 but its escape route is blocked by the white queen. white can also bring his other pieces into position with threat. compare to 21...Kf8 22.Qxe6? Qe8! |
|

23. Rh1
|
threatening Rh8 |
|
| |
|
|
23... Ne7
|
defending the threat and bring another piece to protect its king |
|

|
|
24. g6
|
opening lines for the bishop, with the pawn back on g5 the bishop had no way towards the black king. and im going to need all my pieces if this attack has any chance of success |

24... Rxg6

?? loses the rook. now white is clearly winning. Nxg6 is much less clear eg. 25.Bh6 Qe8 26. Bxg7 Kxg7 27.Nf5 Kf8 28.Rh8 Nxh8 29.Qh6 Ke7 30.Nd6 when white has a queen and 2 pawns for 2 knights and a rook |
|
| |
|
|
25. Rh8+ Rg8
|
?? loses the king. 25....Ng8 26.Qxg6 Nf6 and black is still breathing although whites positional and material dominance will easily secure the win. prehaps the black king wanted a quick death as opposed to a long drawn out one. |

1-0 the finish is 26....Ke8 27.Rxg8 Nf8 28.Rxf8# |
