But we will be back on Monday July 8th at 6 pm for Kids Night!
In the meantime, here is an entertaining game ending:
Black has just played 15. .....Na5 attacking White's queen.
16. Qa4 .......
Black doesn't dare take White's d5 pawn with his Queen 16......Qxd5, as White could play 17. Rad1, b6 18. Bb5, Qe6 19. Bd7 and Black loses the exchange of a bishop for his rook (+2). The next text move only leaves White with his small opening advantage of (+.3).
16. ...... b6
17. Bb5 Re7
18. Rad1 f5?
Too aggressive too soon for Black. White is starting to add pressure in the center and counter attacking on the wing is sometimes a good strategy. But 18......Nb7 was needed to get that knight back into the game. Remember, a knight on the rim is usually GRIM! White is up (+1) positionally.
19. d6 cxd6
20. Nxd6 Qc7
21. b4 Nb7
22. Ne8 Qxc3
23. Qxa7 Rbxe8?
The best line for Black was 23. .....Qc8 24. Rc1, Qd8 White is now up (+2.5).
24. Bxe8 Qxf3?
Black has a better response with 24. .....Qxb4 but when a game starts to crumble and the clock is ticking, mistakes often are followed by more mistakes. White is up (+3.2).
25. Bb5 f4???
26. Bc4+ Kf8
27. Qb8+ Re8
28. Qc7 fxg3
29. fxg3 Re7
30. Rd8+! Re8
31. Rxf3+ Bf6
32. Rxf6 mate
