And now his knight, which started out as his queen side knight, now takes up the position usually taken by this king side knight! Computer says this is the best move for white in this position. |

The pawn was attacked, so it advances again. Computer likes this move too. |

He attacks my queen with tempo. |

This seems the best square for the queen. |

And I reposition my knight to a more central location. Computer likes this move. |

I am trying to exchange bishops, and hopefully win the pawn on f6. Computer prefers Ne5. |

I decide to attack his bishop. He now comes up with a combination that I hadn't seen. Computer prefers 26...Qc5+ |

Of course! If I take the knight, 28. f7+ is very strong. |

27....Ac5+ can be met with Be3, but that may have been marginally better than what I played. |

28. Ne7+

So he throws in a check. It may be best just to give up the exchange here, but white is winning easily no matter what. Cartainly black has to avoid 28..... Kf8?? 29. Bxh6 mate. 28....Kh7 Qd3+ looks pretty grim for black too. |

This is another strong move by white, attacking my queen. I should have taken the queens off with Qb6+ here. Black is still losing, but black is crushed in the game. |
|

|
|
29... Qc5+
|
So I throw in this check instead. |

30....Qb5, trying to exchange queens was probably stronger. |
