18. hxg4 |
Probably not the best response: Bxe5 looks better. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nfxg4 |
Better than dislodging the advanced knight on e5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Bg3 |
Better than Bxg4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... h5 20. Qb3 |
Looking to counter on the queen side. Is the b7 pawn poisoned? Can black ignore this? All things being equal, Qd1 looks better here. Even Ra3 is a possibility. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... h4 21. Bf4 |
Trying to hang on to the bishop as long as possible. Hard to tell if Bxe5 is better here. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Qf6 |
Black's pieces are now well co-ordinated....mine less so. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. Bc1 |
I am now on the back foot and looking for my opponent to give me a chance to get back in the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qg6 |
Is h3!? better? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. f3 |
A poor move, creating a hole on g3, which black could occupy via Nf6-h5-g3. Kh1 was the proper move to make. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Nh6 |
Thank God my opponent couldn't read my last comment! Nh6 makes no sense at all, except to give me the chance to get back in the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Bf4 |
Offers extra protection to cover the holes on g3 and h2. A mistake would be 24.Qxb7? Qg3 25. be3 h3 and advantage to black. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... h3 |
f5 is needed here to break white's nice pawn line g2-d5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. g3 |
A simple but effective move. Black's h-pawn has advanced too far and is temporarily cut off. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... f5 26. Rae1 Qh5 |
A useless move, as pushing the pawn to h2 is no longer an option. 26. ... fxe4 27.Nxe4 Nf5 and black still has attacking possibilities. Even better is Rf8 with a strong initiative! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Qxb7 |
Now, however, the tide has turned and it's time for white to counter and invade. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Rab8 |
As I've said before, bad moves come in pairs. This move, looking to bring the rook into the action via Rxb2 looks attractive, but the rook has nowhere to go after b2, apart from c2, and white's queen is about to wreck havoc. What are the options here? Qg6 doesn't work as 28.Bxa6 fxe4 29.Nxe4 is strong for white. However white could slip up here and play 29.Rxe4? Reb8 30.Qc7 Rf8 and black is back in charge. Another slip up would be 29.fxe4 Reb8 30.Qc7 Rxb2, throwing away the initiative. 27. ... fxe4 looks the only option here for black. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. Qxa6 Rxb2 |
Oops.... underestimates the power of white's pieces. The queen is about to lead them into a swift and brutal counter. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Qxd6 Rxe2 |
Desperation. As I said earlier, c2 looks the only possible square for the rook. 29. ... fxe4 gives white the chance to throw it away: 30.fxe4 Nhg4 31.Qxc5? (Qa6 is the correct move) Nd3 32.Bxd3 Rg2 33.Kh1 Rh2 34.Kg1 Rg2 and a draw by repetition. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30. Rxe2 Nxf3+ 31. Kh1 |
As simple as that really. Black has nothing left to offer. White can exchange pieces and win with ease. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... fxe4 |
The only other option was 31. ... Bxc3 but this loses anyway to 32.Bxh6 | ||||||
