31... Bb7 |
After mutual mistakes the game is once again fairly level. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32. a4 |
32. g5 might be better, which is why I later decided that 28. ...h6 would've been an improvement for black. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32... Kf6 |
32. ...h6 is still better. While 32. ...a5 might be the best move of them all. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33. b4 |
33. g5 is another reasonable try. White is on the right path at last trying to create an outside passed pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33... Ke7 |
Either 33. ...h6 or 33. ...g5 was better. Black is allowing white to hold his 4 pawns back with white's three. An elementary mistake. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34. Nb3 |
White has all the chances in the position. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34... Nd6 |
34. ...h6 was still better! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35. Bxb7 |
It might be better to keep the bishop on the board with 35. Be2. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35... Nxb7 |
Forced. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
36. Kf2 |
Or 36. g5. White is now trying to activate his king. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
36... a5 |
A mistake. 36. ...h6 still holds the game. I thought about playing this move, and I can't say why I never played it. Strange! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37. b5 |
What a shame. 37. c5! is winning. 37. ...bxc5 38. bxa5! Threatening 39. a6. Black must play 38. ...Nd6 allowing 39. Nxc5 with a winning endgame. 37. bxa5 is also much better for white. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37... Kd6 |
With just one move, white has not only thrown away the win, but also the game. Now, black is probably winning. However, 37. ...h6 was STILL better! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38. Ke3 |
38. g5 was the last chance. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38... Nc5 |
Now, black's advantage is clear. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39. Nxc5 |
The knight ending is also lost, but the king and pawn ending is easier for black to play. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39... Kxc5 |
King and pawn endings are all about passed pawns and king position. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. Kd3 Kb4 |
Another blunder! 40. ...f6 is a trivial win. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
41. Kd4 |
This is all I considered at the time, but 41. g5 is winning for white! If 41. ...Kxa4 42. Kc3! Black has no moves! 42. ...Ka3 43. c5 creates the passed pawn and the win. Unreal! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
41... Kxa4 |
Now black is winning AGAIN! | ||||||||
