51... Qxd7 52. Rxd7 Be2 |
An irritating move that stops a7 being taken immediately (Rxa7, Rxa7, Nxa7, Bxa6 = 0.5/0.5) | |||||||
| 2 comments | ||||||||
|
53. Nc7 |
Winning the e6 pawn and defending a6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
53... Rg8 |
Rb8 may look more attractive but loses to Nxe6,Bxa6,Rxg7 The reason for this move being to protect the g-pawn and therefore allow 54 Nxe6 ... Bxa6 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
54. Re7 |
Nxe6 is perfectly playable here but Bxa6,Rxa7,Bc4 is still drawable for black. Besides, what's the wait? All blacks pieces are tied down again! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
54... Bc4 55. Nxe6 Bxa6 56. Rxa7 Bc4 |
Alright so this is identical to the position I quoted before! But I was entitled to have a try. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
57. Nf4 |
There should be a win here if I play correctly. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
57... Rf8 |
Black has little choice but to wait and set himself best he can for a 1pawn and knight vs bishop draw. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
58. e6 |
This pawn is the key though. If I can't queen it I need to at least gain a substantial reward for letting it go. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
58... Re8 59. Nh5 |
This will do! The beauty of it is g7 is undefendable due to Rg8, Nf6 !! Black is forced to take the pawn and I win 2 pawns for it to go 2 pawns up. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
59... Rxe6 60. Nxg7 Re2 |
There is no way to defend f5 because Black cannot stop Nxf5 delivering check and the knight attacking his rook all in one move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
61. Nxf5+ |
Munch. 2 pawns to the good. Getting closer! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
61... Kg6 62. Ne3 |
Attacking the bishop and therefore buying me a move to save my f-pawn | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
62... Be6 63. Kg3 Rb2 64. f4 |
Starts the pawns rolling | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
64... Rb3 |
Black has very little play here but must make a choice here. To either stay behind the pawns in the hope of thwarting white with annoying checks and pins, OR to deploy the rook in front of the pawns and try to get a deadlock in them and draw. I think black chooses correctly. The rook cannot stop the pawns from the front as my knight can always manouvre itself into a position to attack the king bishop or rook on ANY sqaure and march the pawns on. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
65. Kf2 |
65 Kf3 ... Bd5 66 Kf2 ... Rb2 Is annoying. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
65... Rb2+ |
Same check as i mentioned before apart from now I have f3 to move to. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
66. Kf3 Bc8 |
The only way to get a h1-a8 diagonal check in as Bd5 is unplayable and Bd7 cannot be played to set up Bc6 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
67. g4 |
The necessity to play Bc8 before delivering a check is cruical here as it gives me time to push the g-pawn rather than being forced to play Kg3 and wedge my king in front of the pawn halting its progress. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
67... Bb7+ 68. Kg3 Rb3 |
You may think this is back to sqaure one of |Kf2, Rb2 but luckily I have a way out. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
69. Kh4 |
I can leave the knight completely undefended and escape the checks to h4 as blacks rook cannot leave the defence of B7. | |||||||
