Here I noticed the loose pawn on a7.} 16.Bb3 {If 16. ...Nxb3 17. axb3 frees my
rook for the a7 capture.} 16...d6 17.Ne4 {Expecting f6 shortly. Looking to plop
my knight down on f6 and free my dark square bishop to do other things.} 17...

} 18...f5 19.Qa8+ {Now I notice that I can trade queens. If Kd7 then Qxa7 my
queen will be trapped. I felt like a goon.} 19...Kd7 {Really looking hard at
this. I'd love to get his queen and keep my own. I have several checks here.
Which one is best.} 20.e6+ {That'll do it!} 20...Qxe6 21.Bxe6+ Ke7 {All this
stuff is forced. Another forced move would have been 22. Bg5+} 22.Qxa7

never have a combo that nice again for a long time. I wished I would have
spoted it a few seconds before I hit submit.} )
