15... Bxf1
|
Happy to trade up. |
 
|
| |
|
|
16. Kxf1 Nd4
|
Attacking his queen to remove that double fork he has me in. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Qd1 Nxe4
|
Attacking his bishop with my bishop and queen. |
|
| |
|
|
18. Nxe4 Bxg5 19. Nxg5+ Qxg5
|
I traded a lot of material to get out of my bad position. I'm still up a rook! |
|
| |
|
|
20. Kg1
|
What did he see here that spooked his king? Maybe he hoped I would play Nf3 so he could take it with his queen and check me. This in my opinion cost him the game. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Rab8
|
Attacking the b2 pawn for a full open file. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Qd2
|
Wanting to trade queens or protecting his b pawn. I think he wants to trade. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Nf3+
|
A royal fork! He can't capture my knight with 22. gxf3 because the g pawn is pined to the king. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Kh1 Nxd2
|
Now I will trade my knight for your queen and knight.. |
|
| |
|
|
23. Nc3 Rxb2
|
I probably should have attacked his rook with my knight. |
|
| |
|
|
24. Rg1 Ke6
|
Trying to open the f file. |
|
| |
|
|
25. Nb5
|
Attacking the c pawn with check. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Rxb5
|
I know this is trading down and could have avoided the trade with Kd7 but I felt that his knight would give me trouble down the road. I decided to trade my rook to simplify the position. |
|
| |
|
|
26. axb5
|
He gladly accepts. |
|
| |
|
|
26... e4
|
Probably not my best move but I wanted that pawn. The pawn was a sitting duck if he would have moved it. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Re1 Qxb5 28. f3 Nxf3
|
I probably shouldn't have done that. As it were his pawn would have been a better blocker for my king than my pawn would. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Rxe4+ Kd5
|
Here it's mate in one if he doesn't play it right. |
|
| |
|
|
30. gxf3
|
He sees the mate in one. |
|
| |
|
|
30... Qf1+
|
Now I'm after that rook. |
|
| |
|
|
31. Kh2
|
His only move. |
|
