23... Nc5

Headed for queenside play.

24. Rhd1

White is now the owner of a d-file battery. But what can be done with it?

24... Rhc8

I continue the queenside offensive.

25. Bd3

This stops any Bb3 ideas from Black and prepares for more queenside influence.

25... Rab8

Preparing for b4.

26. Bc2

Logical follow through from the previous move.

26... b4

Black continues trying to break through on the queenside.

27. Ne2

Bringing the knight closer to the fray.

27... a5

Keeping up the pressure.

28. Ke3

White's king bolsters for a possible f4 push but the queenside will quickly draw the knight away from any supporting duties in that plan.

28... a4

I thought this move forced White to take the pawn on b4. The alternative is queenside domination.

29. cxb4

Forced?

29... Rxb4

Black breaks through knowing that White now has the forces to liquidate the queenside pawns.

30. Nc3

White goes after the pawn.

30... Rxb2

Black accepts the trade.

31. Bxa4

And White removes the last pawn.

31... Rb4

The bishop still seems wanting for squares though.

32. Bc2 Nb3

The knight attacks the White rook while preparing for Nd4 and leaves a discovered attack on White's knight on c3.

33. Rd2d3 Nd4

Black occupies the strong outpost on d4 and White is running out of maneuvering room.

34. Rc1

A hard move to make.
