Running this game through the Gameknot Database, the number of inaccuracies from both sides add up to... zero. So far, both sides have played solid games, and the game has been pretty much equal throughout. Freddy did admit after this move that he hadn't been playing his best in this game, but still, keeping toe-to-toe with a player so much better than I am is cool :)

28... f5

? My first mistake, and now White has the advantage. Freddy recommended f5 here, while the Gameknot analysis machine recommended Qe5. Both moves are designed to prevent a queen invasion from White...

! With this move! White now threatens to invade via the c7 or b8 square, with the additional threat on the b7 pawn. To protect c7 and the pawn, the bishop needs to be moved, and for that idea, Bc8 is recommended.

?? And this move is a big no-no! As I've mentioned, this has been an equal game so far, excluding 28...f5. Now, two moves later, Black is totally losing! Just goes to show how sudden and unforgiving chess can be at times...

! The pin on the g-pawn turns this attack into an elementary king and queen fork, and that is never a good way to lose a game! I would have thought that the ensuing endgame could have been pretty interesting, though I'd most likely lose anyway

Walks into a mate in eight, but this game is hopelessly lost anyway. If you want to try and work it out, here's the puzzle from this position; http://gameknot.com/chess-puzzle.pl?pz=29034

The funny thing is that GK analysis had not actually seen the mate that followed after this, and recommended Nxe7 after this move. Though it is winning, it does not lead to mate...

!! Only after Freddy had played this move did the computer see the mate - I'll give him two exclams for that! :)

Game over! possibly my best try against the Master Mater so far, but still, it could have been an even better attempt if it weren't for my 29th move... still, good game!
