Chess opening:
King's Indian (E60), 3.g3, counterthrust variation
|
|
|
21. Ne4
|
Knight hits the queen. He seems to think he is winning a pawn, but I had seen all this, and he is sleep walking into a trap. |
 
|
| |
|
|
21... Qe6
|
The queen moves. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Bxh6
|
This is what he had planned, but it is a massive mistake, throwing away a piece. |
|
| |
|
|
22... Rh5
|
Because I have this, and his queen has no squares. |
|
| |
|
|
23. Ng5
|
His only hope is this counter-attack. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Rxh4
|
After a lot of thought I decided to take the queens off. I have many other winning moves, but I decided this was the simplest, transposing into an easily winning endgame. |
|
| |
|
|
24. Nxe6
|
He takes back the queen. |
|
| |
|
|
24... Rxh6
|
I take his bishop. I now have knight, bishop and two pawns for the rook, but what is more, my pieces and pawns are in a dominating position. |
|
| |
|
|
25. Rab1
|
He protects his b pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
25... g5
|
Again, there are various ways to win. This seemed the best, if he takes on g5 it means that his knight can't get back to help stop the black pawns, and 26....c3 or 26.....Bxb2 both win very easily. |

26. Nxg7
|
So he took. |
|
| |
|
|
26... Kxg7
|
I take back. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Rbc1
|
Trying to hold back my pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Re6
|
Centralising my rook, and preparing to penetrate on e2. |

He prevents that, but allows another exchange. |

He takes back. |
|

29... Na4

And now, his position hopeless, he resigns. Many thanks for reading. Please leave a comment or two, and rate the annotation on the star system, to let me know how I am doing. Until next time dear reader! |
