Stupid- this should just go to c7, and avoid giving White a tempo. |

Not achieved without a cost- the black Nf6 will spend some time returning to anywhere useful, I think. |

Hadn't quite calculated this fully-
22.O-O-O fails to hg when the N is pinned.
22...Nf8 23.Bf6 Rg8 (Rh7, hg, Rxh1, gf ) 24.h6 Nh7
22...Rc8 23.hg Nxg6 24.Bh5 Ndxe5!? 25.fe Nxe5 maybe hangs on, but 24.Rxh8 Nx 25.Rh1 Ng6 26.f5 ef 27.Bxd5 |

Hmm, this can't be right. After 24...Nh7, Black is suddenly looking pretty good. Black currently can't castle and once the Rh8 is exchanged off, this kingside looks a little exposed. It's difficult to see quite how White should procede, however, since the tempting Rdg1 starts to look a little uncomfortable after moves like Qb6 and Nf5. Maybe the simple 24.hg followed by swapping rooks and Rh1 will suffice. |

28.Nxc4 is met by 28...Qa3 29.Kb1 and 29...Bxe2 when White will either get mated or lose a rook. Or both. |
