23... Nc6
Now he has to part company with the knight. If say b6, 24. Pxe6 wins, for instance if Bxe6 I have 25. Rc7! or Qxe6?? 26. Qxf8+ and mate next move.

 
24. dxc6
So the knight goes

so he protects it

 
26. Rg3
This little re-organisation of my rooks is deadly!

 
26... Qe7
He prepares counter-attack with his queen.

 
27. Reg5
I complete the rook manoeuvre. The threat is Rg7

27... Qb4+
He throws in a check

 
28. Ke2
I move my king, and he resigns. This position is hopeless for black - my king will eventually get out of the checks, and then my threats will be irresistible. Many thanks for reading this, hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a comment and rate the annotation. Thank you!
