25. h4 |
The last chance was 25. Re7, but black's plan would've been the same. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
25... Ne2+ |
The knight and f-pawn combine to trap the king on the h-file. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
26. Kh1 |
Notice the mating pattern. If white's h-pawns were removed Rh8 would be mate. So, black goes after the h-pawns. | |||||

|
26... Rf4 27. d5 |
Preserving a pawn, that black had no interest in. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
27... Rxh4 |
The threat is now mate in two. | |||||

28. Red1 |
28. Rxe2 was mandatory, but hopeless. | |||||

28... Rxh2+ |
0-1. 29. Kxh2 Rh8#. White got into serious difficulty by intiating tactical operations in the center, prior to castling. Black always had defensive resources based on exploiting the white king position. A miscalculation by white left him a piece down, which is a serious material deficit. | |||||
