*Note - analysis is ok here*

One of the cleanest wins I've ever had against a much stronger opponent!  Seeing blacks position rapidly fall apart looks brutal, but the game is not much in terms of tactical fireworks, (somewhat unusual for me).  Annotations are relatively brief, and I don't criticize blacks play near the end due to the unsatisfactory nature of all of blacks moves.  Ask me any "what if?" questions if you want, enjoy!

vary nice job

net victory, congratulations!

What would happen if Black played 21...Ng6?

Well he would have been able to get my pawn with Nxg7, but he would still fall because I have such a strong attack.

Ng6 - Kg2 - Nxg7 explicitly falls to this line:  Rh1 - *any move that doesn't move the knights, moving the knights FYI doesn't avoid mate either* - Rh8+ - Kxh8 ( Qxg7# means no Nxh8) - Qh6+ - Kg8 - Qxg7#.

Anyways you don't need to investigate every defensive trick he has.  His king is locked in position, only 2 knights can defend the position where every piece I have can attack it.   Thats what we call a lost game.

Oh, I wasn't necessarily investigating all his possible actions, I just wondered as it was something that I noticed as a possibility. Thanks for the explanation.

nice

Very nice game, but too theoretical! =)

Very impressive.

Tonydal I think you are correct.  Rd1 IS a lot more direct.  However its a lot more sharp after f6 and I had more room to make a mistake in, so I played 0-0.  A bit wimpy I know.
