This is a good move, now committed to counterplay rather than all out defense he has to break by pawns up |

|
| |
|
|
38... Kh8
|
I need the option of gxh5 |

|
| |
|
|
39. h5 gxh5
|
Think this is the best move as I can defend the h7 pawn quite well and after Qxh5 I can pick up his d-pawn |

|
| |
|
|
40. Qxh5 Nxd4
|
Now a pawn up |

|
| |
|
|
41. Rh3 Rg8
|
I have to play this otherwise
42 Bd3 ... Rd7
43 Bxh7 ... Qxh7
44 Qg4 |

|
| |
|
|
42. Qd1 Nf5
|
here I think Rd8 might draw as it forces the perpetual but I thought I'd give the win a go. |

|
| |
|
|
43. Bxb5 Qg7
|
The open g-file hasn't done me any harm either! |

|
| |
|
|
44. Bf1
|
I think g3 is a better move really but he can't play it here as it shuts the rook in |

|
| |
|
|
44... Qxe5 45. Qd7 h6
|
Rg7 and I think white has a perpetual |

|
| |
|
|
46. Qf7 Rg7
|
Now the king has an escape square after the check |

|
| |
|
|
47. Qf8+ Kh7 48. Rd3
|
Looking to play Rd8, Qh8
Maybe Bd3 was a bit too risky here? |

|
| |
|
|
48... Qa1
|
Pins the bishop, defends the pawn, and allows e5 |

|
| |
|
|
49. Rd8 Qe1
|
Maybe I should have played this instead of Qa1, protects the e-pawn which can be won through checks if I don't protect it |

|
| |
|
|
50. Qf6
|
Hmm I get the feeling one of my pawns is dropping some time soon.. |

|
| |
|
|
50... a4
|
The only play I have at the moment.. |

|
| |
|
|
51. Re8
|
good move |

|
| |
|
|
51... Qb1
|
defends the knight after Rxe6.
52 Rxe6 ... a3
and black has the edge |

|
| |
|
|
52. Qc3
|
Preparing Qc8 |

|
| |
|
|
52... Qe4
|
Have to defend the e-pawn now |
