17. Bf3 Ng5 |
b5 looks attractive but weakens the pawn structure and could give white's rook scope on the b-file for a counterattack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Qe2 |
Signs the execution papers for his own bishop. Be2 is better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nxf3+ |
Playing c5 directly is an option. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Qxf3 c5 20. Rb1 |
Looks a natural move but it is easily refuted. 20.dxc5 Qxc5 21.Qxb7 is better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... b6 |
Blocking off any hopes of a counter. 20. ... cxd4? hands the advantage to white after 21.Rxb7 Qc8 22.cxd4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. dxc5 Qxc5 22. Rb4 a5 |
Nd5 is playable. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Rb3 b5 |
Removing a possible target for White's bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Qg3 |
Qf4 looks better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Qc4 |
Blocking the advance of white's weak doubled pawns. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Qg5 |
Pointless and easily refuted. White is running out of ideas. Possible was 25.f3 preventing Ne4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Rd5 26. Qc1 |
Another retreat. Qe3 was better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Rc8 27. Bd2 |
Highlighting white's passivity. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Ne4 28. Be3 |
Retreating back to e1 is just too depressing. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Nxc3 |
The dam is starting to crack.... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Kh1 |
And now it bursts completely. White throws in the towel. Qa1 was the only option. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Rcd8 30. Rg1 Rd5d1 31. Qb2 |
The only way to try and survive the onslaught is 31.Rxc3 Rxc1 32.Rxc4 Rxg1 33.Kxg1 Rd1 34.Kh2 bxc4 35.Kg3 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Rxg1+ 32. Kxg1 |
32.Kh2 leads to mate in 4: 32. ... Qf1 33.Kg3 Qxg2 34.Kh4 g5 35.Bxg5 Qxg5 mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Qf1+ |
A decisive move which breaks any final resistance. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Kh2 |
If 33.Kxf1 Rd1 checkmate! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Ne2 |
Threatening Qg1 mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
