Just glancing, but what about 29. Rf6, hitting the knight and the h7 square behind it? After 29. ... gxf6 30. Qxh6 Bf5 31. Qxf6+ Kg8 32. Bh6 I think all black has left is spite checks, as I don't see how he can prevent the queen from landing on the g7 square and delivering mate.

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nb1c3 Bf8b4 4. e5 c5 5. a3 Bb4xc3 6. bxc3 Ng8e7 7 ...[text shortened]... the same fate - 30. ...gxf6? 31. Qxf6 Kb8 32. Bxh6 and after more spite checks it's all over.

Put in the text like this.

1.e4 {good move} 1...e5 {even better} 2. Nc3 {The Vienna.} 2..Ke7 {I once played this as Black and won!}

You are not putting the black move number after the {} (see above)

It should look like this.

Unfortunately if the Q moves off the h file, the black N is unpinned and can move away. Sacs on h7 all seem to fail, as the N can just come back, maybe Igloo was right I needed that other bishop 🙂
