23... Rc6 |
forced | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Bxf4 |
simply regaining material, the rook is not going to escape. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Qf6 |
Yet another weird move. Centralizing the queen is generally a good idea - but why not to develop the knight? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Qxd5 |
!? This sacrifice should lead to draw, as I don't think White is justified for playing for a win. 25.Bxc6 bxc6 just seemed to leave me a pawn down with the black queen dominating the whole board - White would have to take care of the f4-bishop, weak b2 pawn etc. etc. and in the endgame whites pawn formation would be inferior. The idea is to check the black king into g5, play Qc5 and after ...f5 Rc4 forcing queen in the corner with ...Qxh2 (h5 would be lethal), play Rg4 and give perpetual with queen. So let's see how all this went in practise... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Qxf4 |
Otherwise White would have just gained a pawn and Qxb2 Rc2 is not a problem. | ||||||
| | |||||||

26. Bxc6+ bxc6 27. Qxc6+ Kf8 28. Qa8+ Ke7 29. Qb7+ |
It is very important to gain the right position of queen and rook to check all the way up the board and get the option to play Rc4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Kf6 30. Rc6+ Kg5 31. Qb5+ f5 |
31...Qf5?? 32.Rc5 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32. Rc4 Qxh2 |
Centralising the queen (Qd6) would've allowed h5 followed by Qxf5 or a deadly pin (Rc6) | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Rg4+ Kf6 34. Qc6+ Kf7 35. Qd5+ Kf6 36. Qc6+ |
And here I offered a draw. My opponent didn't accept it and thought that he could defend against Rxg7 . I had hardly looked at those variations, but it seemed to me that It would be very unwise to allow such an activity. | ||||||

36... Ke7 |
? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Rxg7+ Kf8 38. Qc3 |
This might still be drawn, but If somebody discovers that black was justified in declining the draw offer - please leave a comment! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38... Qh6 |
The best. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39. Rc7 |
Threatening mate with Rb7?? would reboud after Qa6 ! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39... Qf6 |
Here I thought Qe6 , but this is equally good if not better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40. Qxa5 Qxb2+ 41. Kf1 Ne7 |
Finally black develops his knight, after sitting silently for forty moves. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
42. Qa8+ |
This manoeuvre wins the black knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
42... Kf7 43. Qd5+ Kg6 |
43..Kf6 44.Qd6 and 43...Kf8 44.Kd8 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
44. Rxe7 |
Here I thought that if I can force mate or a king and pawn enging I would win - but I'm not so sure If I would win a rook or quuen endgame. I'm really not sure what the "correct" result of this position is. I have to ask it from my little German friend - Fritz. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
44... Qc1+ 45. Re1 |
45.Kg2 is impossible due ...Qg5 ! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
45... Qc7 46. Qd4 |
Manoeuvring to kingside with tempo | ||||||
