More Chess

1. d4 (0:00) d5 (0:00)

He opened with d4 and I am going to go into the Tarrasch.

2. e3 (0:02) e6 (0:01)
3. Bd3 (0:03) c5 (0:01)
4. c3 (0:02) Nc6 (0:04)
5. Nd2 (0:04) Nf6 (0:03)
6. f4 (0:03)



Thats is risky. The e3 pawn will become weak later in the game, Right now I can't get at it. He is probably planning an all out attack against my King side.

6. ... Be7 (0:06)
7. Ngf3 (0:01) O-O (0:04)
8. Ne5 (0:03) Qc7 (0:05)
9. O-O (0:06) c4 (0:24)
10. Bc2 (0:11) b5 (0:03)
11. Rf3 (0:07) b4 (0:03)
12. Rh3 (0:18) h6 (0:13)



His Rook will neeed assistance, right now my knight is preventing his Queen from coming in.

13. Qf3 (0:18) Rb8 (0:07)
14. Ba4 (0:41) Bb7 (0:13)
15. g4 (0:20) Nd7 (0:15)
16. Nxc6 (0:37) Bxc6 (0:03)
17. Bc2 (0:11) f6 (0:03)
18. Qg3 (0:16) e5 (0:15)



My position was getting cramped, I am pushing pawns to give myself a little more mobility.
19. fxe5 (0:20) fxe5 (0:03)
20. dxe5 (0:51) Nxe5 (0:03)
21. Nf3 (0:22) Bd6 (0:05)
22. Nxe5 (0:22) Bxe5 (0:03)


Ok. I have opened up the f file giving my rook full mobility. He hasn't fought me for it. Now he is becoming cramped.

23. Qe1 (0:14) Rbe8 (0:14)
24. Bd2 (0:22) d4 (0:02)


I am trying to set a little trap here. If e3 takes d4, Bishop then takes h2 check with a discovered attack on the Queen. But he sees it and moves the Queen out of the way. Which allows me to trade pawns and force his Bishop back to e1 or c1.

25. Qd1 (0:32) dxc3 (0:08)
26. bxc3 (0:09) bxc3 (0:04)
27. Be1 (0:12) Qf7 (0:49)


Queen to f7 threatens mate.

28. Bh4 (0:53) Rd8 (0:23)

If his Bishop takes my rook, Queen f2 is check mate.

29. Qe2 (0:09) Rd2 (0:09)



Rook to d2 was a very strong move. I can win the Queen now and there is very little he can do about it.
If he steps out of the way, I can mate him.


30. Qe1 (0:39) Rg2+ (0:05)

He offered me a draw at this point. It is mate next move. My response: Nyet! He then resigned

King to h1 is forced, then Rook to g3 is check Mate (discovered check mate with the Bishop.) Why win a Queen when you can win the King.
