White continues to ignore his attacking possibilities on the kingside. Once again Nf4! was a better move, threatening the dangerous Nxe6! However, there's even worse news for white here as he missed the chance to force a won position: 24.Ng5! Bxc1 25.Rxa5 Bxe3 26.Nxe6! Nxa5 27.Ng7 Kf8 28.Qxd7 Kxg7 29.Qg4 Kh7 30.fxe3 winning. | ||||||

24... Qa6 |
Qa6 is once again a move too late, missing the simple b4, giving me a more dangerous queen-side attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Bd2 |
A completely pointless move, merely inviting the correct push of the pawn to b4. Ng5 is once again the move to make: 25.Ng5 b4 26.Nf4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... b4 26. Nf4 |
Finally! Welcome to the party! Is it too late....? It is now certainly a very interesting game. Whose flanking attack has more momentum? Let's find out... | ||||||

26... Qc4 27. Nxe6 |
Too late...? We'll have to wait and see, as this is still a potentially dangerous attack. Possibly better here however was 27.Rc1! Bxc1 28.Rxc1 Qa2 29.Nxe6 b3 30.Nc5 with an advantage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... fxe6 28. Qxe6+ Ne7 29. Ng5 |
Bg5 looks better: 29.Bg5 Rh7 30.Bxe7 Rxe7 31.Qg6 Kd8 32.Qg8 Kc7 33.Qg5 Rce8 34.Rc1! Bxc1 35.Rxc1 with an advantage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29... Rf8 |
Preventing Qf7 . | ||||||
| | |||||||

Throws it away! The advantage is now with black... if I can find the correct moves to survive the onslaught. The correct continuation was 30.Rxa3! bxa3 31.Bb4 Qxb4 32.Rxb4 a2 33.Ra4 Rc1 34.Kh2 a1Q 35.Rxa1 Rxa1 with a slight advantage for white. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30... Rf7 |
Qxd4 or Rc6 were better for pushing home my advantage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. Nf6+ |
And so white misses a chance to lay a cunning trap: 31.Ng5! Rf5 32.Qh6 and if I reply with the tempting 32. ... Qxd4?? (instead of the correct Nf8) 33.Qh5 Kf8 34.Qh8 Ng8 35.Ne6 wins my queen and the game! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Nxf6 32. exf6 Rc6 33. Qe5 |
Another poor move. Correct was 33.Qg4 Rfxf6 34.Re1 with a chance of survival. Again black had to play correctly as after 33.Qg4 Rcxf6? 34.Rxa3 Qc8 35.Qxc8 Nxc8 36.Ra8 hands the initiative back to white! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Rfxf6 |
Once again 33. ... Rcxf6? is a mistake: 34.Bxb4! Bxb4 35.Rxb4! Qxb4 36.Ra8 ! Kd7 37.Ra7 Ke8 38.Ra8 and a draw by repetition. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. Be3 |
Well the lid is on the coffin now and the final nail is not too far away. Re1 or Bg5 were the best of many ineffective options here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Qc2 |
Aiming for f5 and an active role on the king side. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. Rbe1 Qf5 |
The nails are going in.... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36. Qb8+ |
Bg5 is better, but still no help. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36... Kf7 37. Qb7 |
Qh8 was the only way to prolong the suffering. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37... Rce6 |
Another nail goes in as the pressure on the king intensifies. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38. Qc7 h3 39. Qh2 |
Qg3 was better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39... Rxe3 |
Rxe3! is by far the best move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
