Mary has the good idea to
keep away his King from
the Open Diagonal a7-g1

Finally John plays

the d5-White Rook

John gives security to
his King by playing 14...Kf8

Well inspired by the
Caissa's Spirit Mary
plays again a very
natural developing
move 15.Be3

Then John plays the
not very inspired
move 15...Be7?!

By playing here
the Relatively Pinned
f3-Knight, Mary sacrifies
her Queen: 18.Nxe5!!

Logically, John takes the
White Queen: 18...Bxd1

After the brilliant
White's move 19.Bc5!!
the Black Queen is
absolutely pinned

The Only Black's
answer is to take
the aggressive c5-
Bishop: 19...Qxc5

Obviously Mary plays
now the Royal Fork
by playing her
Knight in d7: 20.Nd7+
