ChessMoves October 2000 - Game 5











Position after:

Klovans-Littlewood
World Seniors Rowy 2000

Notes by John Emms

White's last move was 27 Be2-h5? (27 Bd3 was stronger). Now Littlewood was able to take advantage of White's vulnerable back rank in fine style.
27...Re1! 28 Ra1
28 Nd2 looks sensible, but then Black has 28...Qh4 29 Bxg6 Qf2! winning, for example 30 Bd3 f3 31 gxf3 Be5 32 f4 Rg8 and Black mates. 28 Qd3 Qh4 29 Bxg6 Qf2! also wins for Black.
28...Rxa1 29 Rxa1 Qh4 30 Qd1
Or 30 Be2 Qf2!.
30...f3!
This interference move is decisive. Now Black attacks both c4 and h5, so White's move is forced.
31 Bxg6 Re2! 32 Ne3 Be5 0-1
White will soon be mated.
