31. Qxh4
|
I take back, with the massive threat of Qh7 mating. Fritz actually gives 31...Qxg5 as the only move to prevent a quick mate. |

31... Qb4

Queen comes out to give his king a flight square, and a possible counter attack on my king. |

Fritz says it is mate in 7. At the time I just knew I was winning. |

As good as anything. What would you play now dear reader? |

33. Nxe8+
|
Fritz gives this as mate in 8, but even better was Ndxf7. If now Rxe8 34. Qh7+ Kf8 35. Qxf7# |

33... Kf8
|
So this is the only move to prevent an early mate. |

With best defence, it is mate in 12. Fritz says I missed a mate in 7 with Qh7. |

34... Na4

One last hope from black - that I will take the rook and allow him to mate me with Qxb2. He did play on until I played my 37th move, but I will leave here dear reader with a puzzle - how did I mate in 4 from this position?
Many thanks for reading. Please rate the annotation on the star system and leave a comment or two to let me know how I am doing. Until next time dear reader! |
