31. Rxg8 |
Removing the rook, and freeing the black king to move. With the rooks gone from the board the chances of a direct checkmate are almost gone, so we move into the endgame, which given the position, and material equality should be drawn. I have a slight advantage given blacks doubled pawns, however it's not very significant yet | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
31... Kxg8 |
Recaptures with the king - recapturing with the bishop allows Bxf5 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32. Qc2 |
Looking to move to the 7th and 8th ranks, and allows me to move to c3, with a threat against the f6 pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32... Kf7 |
Moves the king towards the action, and nullifies any threat against the f6 pawn. Here it is tempting to consider Qc7, however the king will escape through g6, and be difficult to attack. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33. h5 |
So I block that square off. This move, while not very exciting now, puts the pawn where I need it at the end of the game, giving me the win | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33... Qe5 |
Preventing me from moving to c7, with counterthreats of Qa1 to pick up the a3 pawn | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34. Qc1 |
Yet another counterthreat, defending my back rank, and attacking the undefended h6 pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34... Kg7 |
Defending the threat, although putting the king on an open file which proves crucial later | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35. Qe3 |
A lot of thought went into this - I reasoned that after 35...Qa1 36. Kh2 Qxa3 37. Qxe6 Qxd3 38. Qe7 Kg8 (to avoid me taking the pawn with check) 39. Qe8 Kg7/Kg8 40. Qg6 , I can pick up the pawns on the f-file and h-file. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||

35... Qa1+ |
Going to plan so far | ||||||||

36... Qe5+ |
A good choice, looking to force a queen exchange, as if I move the king, black can take the queen and isolate my pawn on the e-file: and if i take the queen black un-doubles his pawns. However I can avoid this because the king is on an open file, as I pointed out earlier | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37. Qg3+ |
Now if the queen is taken, I can recapture with the king, and keep my superior pawn structure intact. However black is unwise to take the queen, because: 1) My bishop is able to attack his a b pawns, whereas his cannot attack mine. 2) His doubled pawns will be more of a weakness without the queens 3) He is less likely to force a draw - with queens he can try repetition | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37... Qxg3+ |
But he takes the queen anyway. I now have a definite goal - my king can move to attack the f5 pawn, while blacks king it trapped by my pawn on h5 (mentioned earlier) | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38. Kxg3 |
Recapturing and starting the march towards his weak pawns | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38... Kf7 |
Helplessly trying to move round | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39. Kf4 |
Ready to win the pawn, it will not guarentee me a win, but it puts me in a better position as black now has to force a draw while i can look for a win. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39... Ke7 |
Black is probably considering moving to the queenside, however such a plan is in vain, as I will destroy his pawns and promote my h pawn before he gets close | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. Bxf5 |
winning the pawn. Blacks only move now is to move the bishop to d5 / c4, and wait for a chance to trade himself for 2 pawns to force a draw (bishop king cannot win) | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40... Bxf5 |
Nope, black is now lost, as after the recapture he is unable to do anything but move his king, which allows me to push him back | ||||||||
