perrypawnpusher - Bob the Cat
Play The Bots, Chess.com, 2025
Continuing my game against the Chess.com bot, Bob the Cat.
I'm not that much better than it - the cat tripped over the Jerome Gambit.
21.Be3
After the game, Stockfish 17.1 recommended 21.e6+ right away, but I was still thinking about protecting my Rook at f1.
21...Qb5
Hoping to exchange Queens and turn down the heat a bit. Bob might have tried 21...Rd8, instead.
22.e6+ Kg6
Capturing the pawn would lose the Queen to a Knight fork.
The text, however, should lead to checkmate.
23.f5+ Kh5 24.Qd2 Qxd5 25.Qd1+ Be2 26.Qxe2+ Kh4
27.Rf3
Simplest was 27.g3+ Kh3 28.Qh5 checkmate
27...Kg4 28.Rh3+
Greedy. Again, instead: 28.h3+ Kh5 29.g4+ Kh4 30.Qf2# checkmate
28...Kxf5 29.Rh5+ g5 30.Rxg5+ Kxe6 31.Rxd5
There goes the Queen.
31...Kxd5 32.Qf3+ Kd6 33.Qxa8
and the Rook.
33...Ke6 34.Qc6+ Ke7 35.Rf1 Kd8 36.Bg5+ Ne7 37.Rc1 h5 38.Qc8
and the King. Checkmate
