2, but at what cost? With my pawn chain now completely busted, I consider the g file as a potential weapon. |

16... Qe7
|
Black saves his queen, and gets her ready to swing into attack on the kingside. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Qb4
|
Seeing a way to encourage the trade of queens, therefor pressing material advantage to a quick endgame. |
|
| |
|
|
17... Qg5+
|
Black's having none of that, so he maintains his aggression. At this point, I wasn't too worried, as the enemy queen is out hunting alone, while the the rest of her army is still chilling out in the barracks. |

remy plans to hold his own on the queenside. |

I just knew that g file would come in handy:) Time to start harrassing her majesty! |
|
| |
|
|
19... Qe7
|
? Qf5 was probably the play. Now white can yet again encourage the exchange of queens. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Nd3 Qxb4
|
remy accepts:) Every major exchange this game has resulted in a favorable position for white. Black probably should have played Nd6. |
|

Mission objective accomplished. |

21... Ne7
|
Black now prepares to utilize his space. |
|

! Seventh rank outposts can be deadly. Black now must either move or protect his knight. White is hoping to establish a lasting initiave here. |
|

22... Nf5
|
Where else? |
|

|
A double barrelled shotgun makes a very distinct noise:) |
|
| |
|
|
23... Nh4
|
Another lone hunter has come into my neck of the woods. Since the only protecting move is a retreat, white simply advances his problem. |
|

|

24. f4 Nf3
|
? Ng6 was much stronger. |

Ok mister invader - let's set some ground rules here. Time to keep you moving and try to put you on a worthless square. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Nd2
|
ok - you're not going to cause too much trouble there.......... |
|

26. Nc6
|
Attacking space, and eying e7 with a check. |

26... h5
|
!Perhaps fearing a weak back rank, black establishes a flight square and presses his pawn advantage on the kingside. Strong move. |

Hoping to get all 4 rooks off the board on c8. |
