11. exd4
|
He takes back. |
 
|
| |
|
|
11... Nc6
|
I attack d4 for a third time. |
|
| |
|
|
12. Ne2
|
He defends it. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Qb6
|
I attack and pin d4. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Ke3
|
The only way to protect d4, but probably better just to allow d4 to fall. White already has a very difficult position. |
|
| |
|
|
13... O-O
|
With Re8 check coming in. |
|
| |
|
|
14. f4
|
So he tries to create a safe square for his king. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Re8+
|
So I check. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Kf3
|
Continuing with his plan. |
|
| |
|
|
15... g4+
|
Offering first the pawn. Fritz likes this move, although he tells me Nxd4+ was marginally better - a mate in 15. Obviously I need to do some work on my mates in 15! |
|
| |
|
|
16. Kxg4
|
Which he takes. |
|
| |
|
|
16... d5+
|
Bringing my other bishop into play with tempo. |
|
| |
|
|
17. f5
|
Blocking the check. |
|
| |
|
|
17... Bxf5+
|
But the bishop will not be denied! I was glad that Frizt agreed with me that this is the best move. |
|
| |
|
|
18. Kxf5
|
White takes again. Ok stop - what would you play as black? |

Did you find this? I am threatening two mates in 2 now. At the time, I thought it was mate in three now. Fritz tells me it is mate in 8 now, and Ne5!! was a quicker execution - a mate in 5. |

Nf4 was the only way to fight on, although as I said, white is still getting mated in 7 after Nxd4 check. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Ne7+
|
White resigns rather than be mated.
Many thanks for reading, please leave a comment or two and rate it on the star system. |
