17. Rxe8+
|
I was expecting Re2 but white can not stop the reduction in pieces as 17. Re2 Rxe2 18. Qxe2 Qe8 is worse for white. |

|
17... Qxe8 18. Qe3
|
a good move if black plays the expected 18. ...Qxe3 which will help support d4 and 18. Qxe8 just loses the e-file |

|
| |
|
|
18... Qd7
|
x-raying d4 and threatens to play ...re8 winnng the e-file. |

19. Nf3
|
White finally sees the need to defend d4 but it is too late. |

|
| |
|
|
19... Bxf3
|
removing a defender of d4 in order to avoid the loss of another pawn white is forced play gxf3 |

|
| |
|
|
20. Qxf3
|
white wisely lets go of the pawn as 20. gxf3 Bxd4! wins the pawn anyway. |

|
| |
|
|
20... Qxd4
|
white resigns as it is an easy win from here. White is soundly defeated because black found the right plan. Plus this was an easy win for black because I took the time to evaluate the position at move 8 after that I hardly had to think during the game. In total I maybe thought for 10 minutes. |
