  notyetagm: This game score is incomplete. The game actually ends with 32 Nxg7? Nxh3+! and White loses his f4-queen to the royal fork since 33 gxh3?? results in 33 ... Qh1#.

Once again we have an <OVERWORKED> knight pawn. The White g2-pawn must <DEFEND> the h3-royal forking square and <BLOCK> the a8-h1 diagonal to stop ... Qc6-h1#. It cannot perform both of these defensive tasks at the same time so something has to give.
