19... Bf4
|
(!??????????) I'm really not sure if this is the right move. My brain fails me. But I sacrifice material for a possible mate... somewhere along the line. |
 
|
| |
|
|
20. Nxe6 Qh4
|
Threatening Qxh2#. |
|
| |
|
|
21. g3 Bxg3
|
(!?) Again I sacrifice material for the win. But do I have a choice? |
|
| |
|
|
22. fxg3 Rxg3+
|
(?!) Yet more material. I'm starting to wonder whether this will pay off or not. |
|
| |
|
|
23. hxg3 Qxg3+ 24. Kh1 Rxf1+
|
(??) Misses a crucial mate with 24. ... Qh3+ Kg1 25. Rg8+. From here things spiral downhill. |
|
| |
|
|
25. Qxf1 Nf2+ 26. Qxf2 Qxf2 27. Na3
|
(?!) |
|
| |
|
|
27... Qb2
|
Forking the Na3 and Ra1. |
|
| |
|
|
28. Rd1 Qxa3 29. Rxd5 Qe7
|
(??) 29. ... Qc1+ is better. 29. .... Qe7 leads to an exchange with me having the worse pawn structure. With 29. ... Qc1+, I can check until I fork one of those pieces above. It should happen, either that or a draw. But that's better than the loss I suffered. |
|
| |
|
|
30. Rd8+ Qxd8 31. Nxd8 Kxd8 32. Kh2 Ke7 33. Kh3
|
Holding onto the e-pawn would only lead me to push the h-pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
33... Ke6 34. Kh4 Kxe5 35. Kh5 Ke4
|
(?) Here I should have played 35. ... b5. Even earlier might be better, but I wanted to be sure I had the e-pawn under my belt. 35. ... b5 prevents a4 or c4 pawn moves, because I'll just trade it in and gobble up the isolated pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
36. Kxh6 Kd3
|
(?) Again, 36. ... b5 is better. |
|
| |
|
|
37. c4 Kc2 38. Kg6 b6
|
Only now do I catch on. |
|
| |
|
|
39. Kf6 Kb2 40. Ke6 Kxa2 41. b4 Kb3
|
(??) I blunder. 41. ... a5 is better. After 42. c5 axb4 and at least we'll both queen on the same move. Almost certainly a draw. |

42. c5 Kxb4
|
(??) Another blunder. Better was 42. ... bxc5 43. bxc5 a5 44. c6 a4 45. c7 a3 46. c8Q a2 and it's a classic endgame where he can't take my pawn away from me, because I just hide behind it. Do your own research on this one. |

43. c6

Black resigns. Not sure if I should have. Can I still win here? I think I might. Ah well, it was a blitz game. But thanks for watching, I lost, but I had a missed mate there, so if it wasn't a blitz game, I might have won. Anyway, thanks for watching and take care. Cheers.
