Pay Day

This game is a nice strategic masterpiece. White slowly maneuvers his pieces until the board explodes into a tactical battle. Sacrifices abound as the black king is slowly constricted and suppressed.

Wow, no pieces were exchanged until the 24th move!  That's a whole lot of maneuvering.  Phenomenal attack, with every material sacrifice leading to a more dangerous position for black's king.  What a powerful mating attack in the end.

These attacks make me wonder if chess masters are human.

chester 256, what good is 20...Kh8? if 21. Bxg7+ Kxg7, Black basically wasted a move and loses a crucial kingside defender; if 21...Rxg7, the f6 pawn is hanging, no?

20...   Kh8 looks safer for the black king.
