15. Bxc4 |
White jumps at the possiblility of exchanging his terrible light square bishop and clears some space in his own camp, which was starting to look rather crowded. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Nxc4 16. Qd3 |
White is looking at sacrifices on b5 by the looks of things. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Rc8 |
but this rules them out completely as well as bringing another piece into the attack. Black could also have tried 16...Bg5 followed by Nd2 picking up the rook but the bishop then only becomes misplaced on g5 allowing whites kingside pawns to start moving with tempo and in that terrible f rook even worth my beautiful knight? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. f4 |
After striving to play this for so long white finally gets the chance, it also shuts down blacks option of ...Bg5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Qc7 |
Threating the a3 pawn as the c3 knight is inadequately defended. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Nde2 |
defending the knight and so the a3 pawn as well as protecting the f4 pawn | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... O-O |
Simple and effective. Bringing the last piece across to the queenside while removing the king from the centre, whites kingside attack is not coming soon. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. h4 |
The white pieces are very disorginised, it is probably better to spend this tempo improving the positioning of the white rooks which currently do very little. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Rfd8 |
yet another simple move just gradually maneuvering all his pieces into good positions. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Rfd1 |
The rook returns from d1 having achieved very little for the 2 tempo. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... d5 |
! A strong move, opening lines for the black pieces while white is still trying to reorginise. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. exd5 |
Else the pawn marches on to either e4 or d4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Bxd5 22. Rhg1 |
?! white should exchange on d5 immediately. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qa5 |
! forcing the exchange under more favourable circumstances as ...Bxa3 is mating | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Nxd5 |
Forced. The queen now covers the a3 square | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Rxd5 24. Qb3 |
White looks to have everything on the queenside defended, but that d2 square now looks a little weak... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Rcd8 |
Black is looking very strong now with all his pieces working harmoniously when compared to whites f2 bishop and g1 rook both of which are doing not a lot black looks much better | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Nc3 |
? Allows the black queen to penetrate the black position with disastrous consequences. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Rd5xd1+ 26. Rxd1 |
26.Nxd1 Qd2 27.Kb1 Qxf4 is also bad for white | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Rxd1+ 27. Kxd1 Qd8+ 28. Ke1 |
The king needs to defend the bishop | ||||||
| | |||||||
