Road to the Grandmaster title - Game 16 - Checkmate attack in the Slav defense
Yesterday I played with the young talented Hungarian Woman FIDE-master Demeter Dorina.
I played the Chebanenko variation of the slav defense. She captured too early on d5 because my knight developed to d7, so after capturing on d5 with my c6 pawn I could develop the knight to c6.
We castled on opposite sides. She played a few slow moves instead of the pawn storm. I started to move my pawns and offered a pawn sacrifice with e5 to challenge the center and to open the d-file for penetration. She accepted the challenge and I got a decisive attack:
