In a recent game of speed chess at chess.com, I had a victory which was a moment of inspiration. My opponent was Baagiiherlen of Mongolia who played black. Here are the moves of the game along with my commentary:
1. e4 g6
2. d4 d6
I have a strong pawn centre.
3. Nf3 Bg7
4. Be3 a6
5. Bd3 Nf6
6. Nc3 c6
7. Qd2 0-0
I have the option of castling on either side.
8. Bh6 Bg4
I now intend to castle queenside so that I can launch a powerful attack on the kingside.
9. Bxg7 Kxg7
10. h3 Bxf3
11. gxf3 Kg8
Now the g-file is open.
12. h4 Nh5
13. f4 Nd7
14. f5 Qc7
15. 0-0-0 b5
I castle and connect my rooks.
16. fxg fxg
17. Rdg1 Nf4
18. Ne2 Nxd3+
19. Qxd3 Rxf2
Black gains a pawn but the black king has little protection.
20. h5 Nf8
21. e5 d5
22. hxg Nxg6
23. Rxg6+ Kh8
24. Rxh7+ Kxh7
In a moment of inspiration I sacrifice my rook.
25. Rg2+
This move is a discovered check. Black resigns because no matter how he moves, I play Qh3# on my next move. The keys to victory in this game are my ability to expose the black king and successful rook sacrifice to end the game.
