Last week, I shared my best game from Seville. This time, I'll move on to my second tournament of the trip in Gibraltar (the GibTelecom Masters) and show my best game from there.

After a win in the first round, I had drawn my next 3 games against lower rated players (and I threw away some great positions along the way). However, in round 5, I played a nice game as black to net a full point, so I was hoping to build a winning streak with this game.

As in my game against Lemos from Seville, I faced an opening I have some experience with from the black side! Playing a relatively new line in this game, I got to show some creativity and unleash a brutal attack ...

Question 1: What would you play here for White after 15...Qxb2?

Question 2: How would you continue with the attack?

Question 3: Black is almost ready to bring up the reserves to defend - how do you not give him respite?

Question 4: And now Black has closed the dark squares. How should White keep the fire burning?

And here's the entire game in a single viewer:

i found a relation between comments & rating. so when i read a comment i guess the rating and most of the time it's i get in the range of 100. anyway, thanks for spitting the game & giving us some problems though i try to analyse every move, but needless to say, it's a good way of writing.

your analysis is good. i hope to see an article with the game you lost, as you must have analysed & remembered every bit of that game !

That's a neat version of the slav. Moves like Rxc6 are what seperates the amatures from the professionals. There's an error in the commentary for Rxc6. I believe the phrase is, "man the torpedoes."
