18... Bxf5 |
18... Bxf5? Hoping for a mistake (or two) The main threat here (as far as I can see) is 18... Rb8 19. Qh4 / Qg5 or Qg7 with a potential mating attack. Fritz10: 18... Rb8 19. c3 Qd8 20. cxb4 Qf8 21. Qh4 Kd8 with - (White is a minor piece up & has a good attack. Note that all of Black's pieces are on the back rank). 18... d5 was the only other real try here. I didn't like the idea as it opened up the centre allowing White's rook(s) access to my king. 19. c3 and I lose a piece anyway (or get mated or lose the k-side rook & king still has no place to hide) 18... d5 19. c3 Nc6 20. Nxd5 King move & Rd1, Qg7 OR Q - h4/g5 And all of this because 11... Bg7 / 14... Bh6 | ||||

19. Bxf5 Nd5 |
I figured that if I could swap the Knights off then I might have a chance at a draw. | ||||
