Brilliant analysis at move number 18. As far as ...g5 goes, here is what I came up with.
20 ... g5
21. Qxg5+ Qg6 (I assume, any other move leaves Black in the same predicament.)
Now, 22. h4?! Qxg5
23. hxg5 Bxg4
May or may not allow for a strong attack, I haven't really looked at it yet, but even the simple...
22. Qf4 is sufficient to maintain all but overwhelming pressure, I think. (... Qxg4 23. Rhg1 or ... Bxg4 23. Rhg1 h5 24. h4 and the Bishop is lost) The move Rd6 is still available to White and it would be a monster deflection as anytime the Queen leaves the f pawn unguarded, it will result in game over.
Great analysis.
Hey all,
Just wanted to share my first example of a well-played game by my opponent where a slight inaccuracy out of the opening led to a series of quiet plays ending with a resignation at 20. Enjoy!
Nothing is more enjoyable that a quiet, game-ending move, eh?
