29... c5 30. Rc1
|
Bringing the rook back out with a tempo, attacking the c-pawn |

|
|
|
30... Kd6
|
Easy enough to defend however, and bringing his king towards the action |

|
|
|
31. Kf2
|
The first bad move, I had the chance to secure the second rank with Rc2, but instead handed him a pawn on a plate |

|
|
|
31... Rd2+ 32. Ke3 Rxa2
|
The obvious choice of pawn to take. His majority on queenside is very worrying |

|
|
|
33. h4
|
Moving the pawn out of the attack from the rook. Better is the Rook check Rd1 giving me a chance of moving in behind his pawns |

|
|
|
33... Rb2
|
Natural move |

|
|
|
34. Rc3
|
Forced to defend the pawn |

|
|
|
34... a5 35. Rd3+
|
Very little else to do |

|
|
|
35... Ke6 36. Rc3 Kd6 37. Rd3+ Kc6
|
Ready to push the pawns forward |

|
|
|
38. g5
|
Another poor move according to the computer. Better is e5 |

|
|
|
38... Rh2
|
A return weak move. The rook is far better placed on the other side to help the pawns push forward. Black could simply play hxg4 then having stopped any problems can push forward the a or c pawn |

|
|
|
39. gxh6
|
Little else to do |

|
|
|
39... gxh6 40. e5
|
Should have taken the opportunity to move to the 8th rank |

|
|
|
40... Rxh4
|
Cleaning up my pawn, leaving black with a passed pawn on the h-file to add to my headaches from the queenside |

|
|
|
41. Rd6+ Kc7 42. Rd5 a4
|
Apparently a weak move, although the logic is good, surrendering 2 pawns for a passed pawn |

|
|
|
43. bxa4 bxa4 44. Rxc5+ Kb6 45. Rc8
|
Forced to move behind the pawn |

|
|
|
45... Kb5 46. Rf8
|
The losin move, I thought I could push my pawns forward after removing the f- pawn. However this plan will leave me unable to stop his a pawn |

|
|
|
46... a3 47. Rxf7
|
The end is near, only possible play is to move to the b-file and attempt to force the king in front of the pawn |

|
|
|
47... a2
|
Calmly moving towards my back rank |

|
|
|
48. Ra7 Ra4
|
Concluding the win, pushing on further is just delaying the inevitable |
