15. Nxg5
|
another try might be 15.Nf5 Bxf5 16.exf5 Qxf5 17.Qb3 but blacks piece are still menicingly placed but white still has some drawing chances as the black pawns are weak |
 
|
| |
|
|
15... Qg7
|
the point of 14...g5, the queen now takes up residence on the g file and the two loose white knights provide tempii for the black pieces |
|
| |
|
|
16. f4
|
?! there were a couple of other options here, Qg3 looks good at first but after 16...Qxg5 17.h3 Rh6 the knight can't retreat to f3 as 18...Rxf3! 19.gxf3 Rxh3 or f5 due to 18...Rxf5 19.exf5 e4 with a massive attack. so it infact leads to white losing a knight and the queens being traded.
Ngf3 and Nhf3 both lose to Rxf3! as the rook is invunrable
Nh3 looks to be the best try but the now familiar move Rf3 looks good although white can now give up his queen for the 2 rooks by 17.gxf3! Rxf3 18.Qxf3 (not 18.Nxf3?? Bxf3 ) Bxf3 when the position is quite good for black after 19.Kf1 Bg4 20.Ng1 Qf6 when white should play 21.Nf5 (not 21.Ng2? Bc5) bxf5 22.exf5 Qxf5 when the loose positon surely favours the queen over the two rooks |
|
| |
|
|
16... Rf6xf4
|
not exf4 blocking the rooks line to the king |
|
| |
|
|
17. Qb3+
|
?! the white queen decides to abandon the kingside an grab a few more pawns on the queenside, the plan was to play Ne6 after Kh8 but it doesn't work as the h4 knight is en prise, however it is hard to find anything better, Qg3 now loses to 17...Qxg5 18.h3 Bc5 with Bf2 to follow |
|
| |
|
|
17... Kh8 18. g3
|
a nice little trap by white here. if black isn't careful and plays 18...Qxg5? white plays 19.gxf4 Qxh4 when white has drawing chances |
|
| |
|
|
18... Bc5+
|
in order to prevent Qe3 when white can hang on |
|
| |
|
|
19. Kh1
|
better than 19.Kg2 Rf2 20.Kh1 Qxg5 |
|
| |
|
|
19... Rf4f6
|
if 19...Rf2?? white realises his plan of Ne6, this simply wins the knight |
|
| |
|
|
20. Qxb7
|
? the white queen should stay and guard the kingside |
|
| |
|
|
20... Qxg5 21. Qxc7
|
?? walks into forced mate but i don't think the white king can avoid the noose much longer |
|
| |
|
|
21... Qxh4
|
! removes the defender of f3 and so threatens 22...Bf3# to which there is no answer as either rook move (Re3 or Rf1) loses to R(x)f1 when the king is mated by Q(or B)h3 so white resigns. i hope you enjoyed this little game, i know i enjoyed playing it. as usual if you have any questions/comments or if i've missed something in my analysis please feel free to message me. |
