Black wisely declines the sac and establishes a threat of his own on my Ne4. |

My knight is vital to my plan and must be protected. My bishop is still immune from capture because of the Nf6 threat. |

! Black's best move of the game. He now hits my Ne4 twice and has his own tactic (the pin on my queen). |

! White's best move of the game! A deflection sac! |

?? In addition to not seeing the weakness of the f6 square, Black leaves himself open for a crushing tactic. |

Black gets far too little in exchange. |

Black finally gets his problem bishop into the game on move 20. |

Threatening Qxf and then mate on g7. |

Black's only saving move. |

Ok, I figure I will now regroup and finish him off. I have an overwhelming material advantage that should carry the day. |

?! Just makes my job easier. I was frankly very surprised that my opponent would instigate any exchanges right now. |

? Black's Ra8 must get developed for black to have any chance. I felt that 23...Kg7 was a time waster. |

Just to ensure pawn equality on the queenside just in case. I can always play Qg3 next. |

Protecting his b pawn. |

Ok, we'll do this the long way. I simply castle to get another gun into the fight. |

Sorry, my c pawn is safe as well. Deal with this check first:) |

Black is going to have to get vertical to stand a chance. Another time waster. |
