  • 25... Nf6e8 26. gxh6 Kh7xh6 27. Rg1h1
    Speculative move - how will he react? I'm expecting Kh6g7.
    • 27... Kh6g5
      ? Why? To protect the pawn? Just the opening I need...
      • 28. Ra1g1 Kg5f6 29. Bf2h4 Kf6e5
        g6g5 won't help.
        • 30. Rg1g5 Ke5d6
          Avoiding a discovered check on f6 but would that have been better (and retreating to g7) than the alternative?
          • 31. Rg5d5 Kd6e6 32. Rd5xd8 Ke6e5 33. Rd8d5
            I missed the obvious mate. I was being greedy and hoping for another free piece through another discovered check. Mistake by me.
            • 33... Ke5e6
              Forced. Sorry about that.
              • 34. Rd5d8
                I have now seen the mate. Getting the Rook out of the way first, and covering e8 and e7.
                • 34... Ke6e5 35. d4
                  Black resigns. The only option is Ke5xe4 followed by Bb3c2 for checkmate (if KnxP then PxKn for the same position). I was extremely lucky to win given the silly attempted trap. If the black Rooks had come into the attack to support the Queen I'm not sure I could have defended it so I was very lucky. Thanks for reading!
