51. e5 |
Black needs to be careful of this pawn, if the knight gets close then White may be able to force promotion | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
51... Nb5 52. e6 h2 53. Ke5 |
if e7, then Kf7, and if Bd5, then Kf8 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
53... h1=Q 54. Bxh1 Rxh1 55. Kf6 |
All Black has to do now is remove the pawns, which must be done precisely or White could hold a draw | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
55... Rh7 |
This stops Ke7, which might be good enough to hold a draw | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
56. Ne3 |
If e7, then Rh6 forces the king away and Black can stop and win the pawn, this would be much harder to win if White's knight was a bishop, since he could waste moves and not get into zugswang that easily. But the knight is better than the bishop at helping pawns promote, which is White's last chance to swindle | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
56... Nd6 |
This knight must stop the strong passed pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
57. Nd5 Ne8+ 58. Kg6 Rb7 |
this could be considered zugswang, White would probably prefer to pass his turn if he could | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
59. e7 Rb5 60. Nf4 |
After Nf6 Nxf6 Kxf6 Rb6 Black can win both pawns and it's easy win after that. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
60... Rxb4 61. Nd5 Rd4 62. Ne3 |
After Nf6 Nxf6 Kxf6 Re4 Black stops and wins the pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
62... Re4 63. Nd5 Re5 64. Nf4 Rxe7 |
This seems like resignable position, but it could still be tricky to win, especially since both players were in time pressure | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
65. Kf5 Kf7 66. Nd5 Re1 |
The technique is simple, Black uses zugswang tactics to force the king away, Black just has to use simple chess logic and the game wins itself. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
67. Nf4 Nd6+ |
Here Baker stopped writing his moves down because of time pressure, but I'll continue the game just for fun. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
68. Kg4 Rf1 69. Nh3 Kf6 70. Nf4 Ke5 71. Nd3+ Ke4 72. Nc5+ Ke3 73. Ne6 Rg1+ 74. Kh5 Ke4 75. Kh4 Nf5+ 76. Kh3 |
Kh6 allows knight trade | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
76... Kf3 77. Kh2 Rg4 |
Now the win is clear and White will get mated in a few moves. If Kh1 then Kf2 followed by Rh4#, and against knight moves, Rh4 Kg1 Ng3 and Black plays Rh1# next move. If you liked this game, then check out bakerbaker's annotations with a lot of attacking games | ||||||
