This is my way of making my pieces better. I saw that it was possible for White to put his Knight on f4 in a couple of moves, and this is my way of stopping it. Now we can evaluate the position again. White is only defending. He has no pieces, to coordinate an attack with. The Knight can not put together a serious attack by himself. Black's two Knights have effectively tied up 4 of Whites pieces. Black has put the major pieces in prime attacking position. |

White is trying to find a better post for the Knight than d4, but I think he is so tied up now that there would appear to be no chance for him unless I blunder. |

This is my brilliant tactic. He can't take the Rook because of Nxf2+, Kg2, Nxe3+!, Kxf2, Nxc2, Rxc2, e3+ and White would lose a Rook, 2 pawns and the Queen for the Rook and both Knights. |

White finally gives up. He knows he can't survive with that Knight there. He is willing to give up the Rook now, but I have other plans. |

With many mating threats hanging in the air. |

And mate on the next move, so White resigned. The point of this review is to show the power of a knight on the 6th or 3rd rank. There they become especially powerful pieces and they can completely disrupt the coordination of your opponents pieces. Also, one should understand the fact that one can survive not knowing an opening if they play for fast and active development. At my level and below, it is more important to be a better middle-game and endgame player than an opening expert. I hope you enjoyed my game. |
