|
15... Ne3
|
loses the knight; better would have been Nf6 preserving the knight |
 
|
| |
|
|
16. Kf2 Nc4 17. Bxc4 b5
|
trying to gain back the piece with pawn fork |
|
| |
|
|
18. Nb6
|
this preserves my piece proving the fork useless |
|
| |
|
|
18... Rb8 19. Nxc8
|
like i said, simplifying position to head for the endgame |
|
| |
|
|
19... bxc4
|
regaining lost bishop while attacking b2; although i think taking the knight would have been more effective since it stops it from inhabiting the hole on d6 and by gaining tempi since the bishop would have been still attacked and it would have caused it to move makng the c file semi open |
|
| |
|
|
20. Nd6
|
occupying hole on d6 also attacking pawn on c4 |
|
| |
|
|
20... Rxb2
|
ignoring and grabbing two pawns to attempt to queen on a1 |
|
| |
|
|
21. Nxc4 Rxa2 22. Rb1
|
!! a positional move; not only occupying the open b file, also retricting the movement of the rook via b2 |
|
| |
|
|
22... a5
|
desperately trying to queen somehow |
|
| |
|
|
23. Rb7
|
attacking black's weak kingside pawn structure by placing rook on seventh rank |
|
| |
|
|
23... a4
|
desperation; also note that a3 is restricted by the knight on c4 minimizing rook movement; from this position you can see the beauty of the knight awesome power when well placed |
|
| |
|
|
24. Rxd7
|
snatches pawn |
|
| |
|
|
24... Ra8
|
I don't understand the point of this move instead i think that black should have gone for kingside expansion and should have given up hope on queening at a1 |
|
| |
|
|
25. Ne5
|
attacking f7; note that Nd6 would have blocked the soon to be opened d file |
|
| |
|
|
25... a3
|
hoping to queen now since the restricting knight has been moved |
|
| |
|
|
26. Rxf7
|
barraging the kingside through an onslaught of pieces in perfect coordination |
|
| |
|
|
26... Rb2
|
preparing to advance A pawn |
|
| |
|
|
27. Nxe6
|
snatching another pawn tearing apart queenside and forcing king to move by threatening mate in 2: 1 Rg7 ....Kh8 2 Nf7# |
|
| |
|
|
27... Kh8
|
At this point I saw a brilliant mate in 5 exploiting weak kingside and the open files; also note that 27 Nxe6 opened the d file! |
|
| |
|
|
28. Rxh7+
|
magnificent rook sacrifice if didn't take Rg7 , Nf7# |
|
| |
