13... Re8
|
Threatens b4 then Bxe4. |
 
|
| |
|
|
14. Qb3
|
Stops b4. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Qb6
|
Black is beginning his counterplay against my weak central pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Nge2 Rac8 16. Rd1
|
I need to defend my d-pawn again, because I plan to move my e2 knight to join the attack on Black's kingside. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Bc6
|
Black adds another defender to b5, to prepare a5 with a seemingly pointless queenside attack. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Nf4
|
I'm threatening to win a pawn, because f7 is pinned. |
|
| |
|
|
17... g5 18. Nh5
|
Taking the pawn opens the h-file toward Black's king, but also allows Black to unleash his bishop toward my overextended position. |
|
| |
|
|
18... a5
|
Black can't do much in this position. Notice how my centre is well defended now, keeping Black's pieces away from active squares. |
|
| |
|
|
19. hxg5
|
Now I can let Black unleash his bishop, since I will chop it off next move. |
|
| |
|
|
19... fxg5
|
The game was over in a few moves, but Black could've tried stopping my attack with a4. I think I'd still be winning because I have ideas of Qc2 and Qh2, or I could complicate the game with Qb4, hitting d6. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Nxg7
|
Watch how I finish off Black. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Kxg7
|
I think Black could've still hung in there with a4, but it's too late now. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Rxh7+
|
Hilarious!
A lot of dynamic attacks require a sacrifice to finish off the king. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Kxh7
|
Black has to accept my rook sacrifice, unless he wants to get mated faster, which doesn't really matter to me. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Qxf7+
|
I have completed my kingside attack, and Black's position is dead lost. |
|
| |
|
|
22... Kh8
|
No matter where Black moves, his king is stalemated, so all I need is one more check to mate him. |
|
| |
|
|
23. Rd2
|
Black resigned!
All I needed was one more simple check to win, and there is no stopping Rh2. |
