20. Qc2 Qg7
|
I wanted to make room for my rooks to double on the f-file with Rf4 Raf8. |
 
|
| |
|
|
21. Bg6
|
Because of my overextension of pawns, White's pieces can go annoyingly in my territory. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Ba6
|
I was also contemplating Qa6 and g4, but I decided to move my bishop again so it would have a clear path, rather than blocked by d5 |
|
| |
|
|
22. Re3 g4
|
My overextension isn't pretty, and I think Qa6 is better |
|
| |
|
|
23. hxg4 hxg4 24. Nh2 Bg5
|
My g-pawn is under serious pressure, so I need a counter-threat since Rf4 is not an adequate defense, my rook could easily get chased off the 4th rank |
|
| |
|
|
25. Rg3
|
This doesn't win the pawn because of my next move. Re1 was much better and wins the pawn, in which my only hope would be to go for a do or die attack on the kingside |
|
| |
|
|
25... Bh4 26. Rxg4 Bxf2+
|
Although White missed his chance to win my overextended pawn, I'm still in trouble because of the open file to my king. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Kh1
|
If Qxf2, then Rxf2 Bh7 Kxh7 Rxg7 Kxg7 Kxf2 and material is still even, but bishops are usually better than knights in open positions |
|
| |
|
|
27... Kh8
|
Only move since White is threatening discovered attacks on the g-file |
|
| |
|
|
28. g3
|
White has no useful discovered attacks now, since the bishop has nothing to attack and my queen can simply move. Although Bd3 Bxd3 Qxd3 increases the pressure on my king with tempo. The text move threatens Rh4 Kg8 Bh7 Kf7 Qxf2 |
|
| |
|
|
28... Be3
|
I stop the threat, while preparing to get my bishop back to my king to defend. Overextending my pawns to try for an illusory attack was not a good idea, as you can see my king is very weak. This would be a different story if my king was safe on the queenside, because then White's king would be weak and the open kingside files would benefit me, I'd probably win White's g-pawn and have a winning endgame, but here my king cannot escape to safety. I was very lucky to have won this position. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Bd3
|
If White had tried Rh4 Kg8 Bh7 then my king would only have an easier time escaping to the queenside |
|
| |
|
|
29... Bxd3 30. Qxd3
|
Rxg7 loses a piece after Bxc2 |
|
| |
|
|
30... Bg5
|
The only way to defend my queen and bishop since Qh6 allows Rh4 |
|
| |
|
|
31. Re1
|
This defend e5, but Nf3 may have been a better way to do so |
|
| |
|
|
31... Qh6
|
This was where I started to get out of danger, and I was ready to walk my king all the way to the queenside, where I'd be safe and able to continue my kingside attack, and I'm also threatening Rf2 threatening Qxh2#, so I think my position has recovered and I'm good here |
|
| |
|
|
32. Kg2
|
32.Kg2?? totally loses for White. Kg1 was a simple way to defend the threat because after Rf2, White simply plays Nf3 and I have two pieces under attack. In this continuation, I can play Rf2 with tempo, and White cannot defend |
|
| |
|
|
32... Rf2+
|
Tactics like this are often missed because a lot of people don't analyse the board thoroughly. A grandmaster would probably resign here since he'd be able to see that he is totally lost. White probably knows he is lost, but the sudden change of game probably shocked him. |
|
| |
|
|
33. Kxf2 Qxh2+ 34. Kf3
|
Kf1 still allows Rf8 , and White's king is just as dead |
|
| |
|
|
34... Rf8+ 35. Rf4 Bxf4
|
Here I'm threatening 36...Bxg3 37.Ke3 Qf2# (or 37.Kg4 Qh4#), and taking the bishop also results in immediate mate (which is what happened in the game)
If White tries to get out of mate with 36.Kg4, then 36...Bxg3 threatens Qh4#, and 37.Qxg3 loses to Rg8 where I win the queen and have an easily won game. 36.Kg4 Bxg3 37.Rh1 stalls the loss, but the concentrated power of my queen and rook is enough to finish off White easily.
36.Kg4 Bxg3 37.Kg5 Qh4 38.Kg6 Qg4 39.Kh6 Bf4# is forced mate, but White's game continuation got mated quickly. |
