Originally posted by Sicilian Smaug Everything from move 21 was geared towards a big attack on the castled position I didn't have the rook sac exactly planned til about move 26. First get the Queen in position if anything to provoke a pawn move which may weaken white's position, then double the rooks on the best file which also hampers the power of white's rooks, move 28 get white's bis ...[text shortened]... ntrusion of a rook to the 7th rank and hope (white's Queen on c6 would have been a pain) 🙂
Thanks for the info. I always like to here what was on the person's mind. Very good ideas.
This game I threw in the beginning, dropping 2 pieces and thought I had lost... but I don't give up easily. On move 13 my oponent made his first mistake, dropping a bishop... this gives me some compensation. The rest of the game involves me fighting back to win a piece and then I think frustration sets in on my oponent and he misses the checkmate threat. If he didn't give me his knight on his second last move I am fairly sure I could have won it anyway... as I had a forced combination ready. 29...Nf6 (what he should have played) 30.Re1 Na2 31.Ne6+ Ke8 (if Kg8 32.Rxg7# ) 32.Nxg7+ Kd8 (Kf8 brings the same following result) 33.Ne6+ Ke8 34.Nc5 This is where the play branches into two variations. One being 34...Kf8 the other being 34...Kd8 if 34...Kd8 35.Re7 stalemating the king and creating two mating threats: 36.Ne6# and 36.Nb7# which cannot be defended against. If black would play 34...Kf8 35.Re7! now I threaten 36.Ne6+ Kg8 37.Rg7# and it can only be defended against with Ra6 sacking the rook.
Anyway, I don't think all this analysis was necessary, but I did it anyway for practice 🙂 plus the windmill was nice.
