26. Rd2 Bb4 27. d6+ |
9 ... f5 comes back to haunt Black now as the pawn advances with check, forcing the black king far out of the action | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Kh8 28. Rc7 Bxd2 29. Bxd2 Rac8 |
Forcing the Rook exchange because of the threat of Rc2 | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Bc3 |
This gets the light squared bishop back onto its best diagonal. White correctly declines the temptation to initiate the rook exchange and keep his passed pawn with a dark queening square (opposite of Black's bishop), as the succeeding threats of a back row mate would cause White much trouble and probably loss of material. | ||||

|
30... Rxc7 31. dxc7 Ba6 32. f4 h6 |
Trying to get that Black king into the game before it is too late | ||||
| | |||||
|
33. Be5 |
Defending the c pawn and locking down much of Black's position | ||||
| | |||||
|
33... Bb7 34. Kf2 Kh7 |
Both kings head out hoping to lead their mighty armies to victory | ||||
| | |||||
|
35. g3 Re8 |
The rook does not seem to have many present opportunities to exert influence even on the a file, so zigzagging to e8-e7-d7 seems to be its best choice. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36. Ke3 g5 37. h4 Bc8 |
This looks to be a wasted move. Breaking up the king side for the Black king to invade with gxh4 looks better | ||||
| | |||||
|
38. Kd4 Re7 |
This move is necessary for Black's breakthrough to succeed but it should have been made last move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
39. Kc5 gxh4 40. gxh4 Kg6 |
Black is now set up to break the king through and have queening threats on both sides of the board. This looks like a winning position here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
41. Bc4 |
Setting up a nice tactical trap | ||||
| | |||||
|
41... Kh5 |
??? Black blunders into the trap and hurts his position badly, much better was Rd7. | ||||
| | |||||
|
42. Be2+ Kg6 43. h5+ Kf7 |
And the Black king is reduced to tears of frustration as it can now be of no real use | ||||
| | |||||
|
44. Bc4+ Ke8 45. Bb5+ |
White offered a draw here and I declined, feeling Black still had enough play to win. | ||||
| | |||||
|
45... Kf8 46. Bc4 |
White correctly declines winning the rook with Bd6 as Black would queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
46... Re8 |
?? I am pretty sure Black could have won here with the immediate 46 ... Rxe5 followed by 47. fxe5 Ke7. | ||||

47. Kb6 Rxe5 |
??? A move too late!! Now blundering away the game, White will still queen second, but with check tempo to win. | ||||
| | |||||
|
48. fxe5 f4 49. Ka7 f3 50. Kb8 f2 51. Kxc8 a2 52. Kd7 a1=Q 53. c8=Q+ Kg7 54. Qg8# |
