I was trying to follow a great old game:
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. exd5 exd5 5. Bd3 Ne7 6. Ne2 Nbc6 7. O-O Be6 8. a3 Bd6 9. Nb5 f6 10. Nxd6+ Qxd6 11. Nf4 Nxd4 12. c3 Ndc6 13. Nxe6 Qxe6 14. Re1 Qd6 15. Qh5+ Kd8 16. Qg4 Ne5 17. Qxg7 Rg8 18. Qxh7 Nf3+ 19. Kf1 Nxe1 20. Kxe1 Rxg2 21. Qh8+ Rg8 22. Qh3 Qe5+ 23. Kd2 Qf4+ 24. Kc2 Qxf2+ 25. Bd2 Rg2 26. Qh8+ Kd7 27. Qh3+ Kd6 28. Rd1 Rxh2 29. Qg4 Rh4 30. Qg7 Rg8 31. Qf7 Rg2 32. Kc1 Qf3 33. Bb5 c6 34. Rf1 Rf2
I was trying to understand black's positions. On 17, I would have moved King to Kd7 that would have saved me 2 rooks, one with check and the other with skewer. However the game was played brilliantly by black, who played Rg8 on the 17th move. I had calculated the check at 17th, but failed to spot pin on g2. Could someone guide if there's some good learning tools to visualize pins few moves ahead?
