26... Rc3xc1
|
So I remove the rook, winning the exchange instead |
 
|
| |
|
|
27. Bd3
|
Blocking my intended R8c2 |
|
| |
|
|
27... Qd4+ 28. Kb3
|
Ka2 allows Qa1# |
|
| |
|
|
28... Rc8c3+ 29. Ka4
|
Under time pressure I missed the mate in 3 after Rxa3 |
|
| |
|
|
29... Rxh1
|
I take the rook instead |
|
| |
|
|
30. Qxh1 Rxd3
|
Should have taken with the queen, but at this point all moves win |
|
| |
|
|
31. Qc1
|
Final gamble, hoping i would allow a backrank mate |
|
| |
|
|
31... Qc3 32. Qxc3
|
Taking the queen, and essentially resigning |
|
| |
|
|
32... Rxc3 33. h4
|
My opponent could have resigned, but he choses to prolong the match. I quickly push my d-pawn forward and close out the match |
|
| |
|
|
33... d4 34. b5 d3 35. Kb4 Rc1 36. g5 d2 37. a4 d1=Q 38. b6 Rb1+ 39. Ka5 axb6#
|
Quite a pretty finish, checkmate with the pawn. And overall a strange match, as i tend to be far more cautious early on in a match, and very rarely do sacrifices seem to pay off. |
