I decide to play aggressively. After the recapture, my Queen will take an active role. |

Now with my Queen on the same side as my opponent's King, I will try to generate a winning attack. |

Preparing to double Rooks. |

Sensibly, my opponent brings his Rook over to defend. But he hasn't given up on his Q-side attack just yet. |

Now he's up a Pawn. I decide to bring my Bishop back to the Q-side for defence. |

Now the White QBP is blocked, and I still maintain my position on the diagonal. |

My Bishop has attacking possibilities, so I preserve it. |

A mistake, unblocking the diagonal the previous move blocked. |

I aim to double-attack the White KNP with my Q and R and remove the supporting KBP with my B. |

Well, so much for the supporting KBP. Now I'll exchange Pawns and open up the K-side some more. |

Now my Q and R are in the positions I want. I aim to play QxKNP at some point. |

A smart defense, adding a defender to the KNP and forcing my Q to move. |

Still targeting the KNP. |

Blocking the Q's diagonal. However, 36 B-K1, adding an extra defender to the KNP, was better. |

This move is now dangerous. If White moves his R, he opens the diagonal for my Q. R-N4 and R-B3, guarding the KNP, are the only moves that stop mate. |

Still trying to be aggressive. White's own efforts to attack here cause him to be mated in 2! |

White can decide how he loses. |

He chooses the square KB1. |

A very exciting game! One of the most fun games I've played on GameKnot. |
