So, what the hell, take the rook, attempt to even out the material disadvantage. Suddenly, one of the king's defenders is missing. |

My LSB served its purpose, now it is dead. |

Now I can get to that square, and get rid of that rook. Possible defenses for white here are Qf1, Qe1 and... I think that's it. That rook is dead. I'm not fearing the attempted fork at Ne6, because I'm taking that rook on the next play. |

now this is just strange, and is a blunder in my opinion. Now the fork at Ne6 is a foregone possibility, and the rook is still dead. |

Like so. Now, with my bishop at g3, the possibility of a back rank mate is open. But I have to get rid of one of those defenders. I can't just take that DSB with my rook though, since the knight is defending it. Also, I'm currently in danger of a fork at Ne4. |

Now I'm set to take the bishop, and threaten ...Re1 , which at the least would allow me to take white's queen. |

The threatened fork. I guess white didn't see my rook. |

Die, knight. |

Another key defender gone. Still, this threatens a fork of the queen and DSB at e4 again, unless I mate before hand. |

Here, I sacrifice the rook (more accurately, trade it for the bishop), knowing that afterwards I can mate on the back rank. Now, the only possible defense for white is Qf1 or Qg1, and that would be temporary. My response after that would be Re-e1. |

Nope, the rook was too tempting. No matter, time for the back rank mate. |

Forcing the take with the queen. The knight is no help here. After this move, white resigned. |
