19. Rd2 |
?? this natural looking move is suprisingly fatal, now white loses his king or his queen. f5 avoids immediate disaster but the white king can definately feel the draft. after f5 the game would still be very much in the balance with both sides fighting for an edge. this is where it becomes obvious that the bishop is better placed on c7 as whites main asset would be his control of the d file and on c7 the dark squared bishop influences d8 allowing the rook to compete for the open file | ||||

crushing, physically preventing whites intended f5 when he would be ok | ||||

best, but it is only delaying the inevitable | ||||

20... Nxd5 |
best capture, taking with the pawn allows white to force the queens off when white will be down 2 pieces and two pawns for a rook but will have active prospects thanks to his control of the d file. although the game is still very much blacks to lose. taking with the bishop is obviously wrong as black will lose his best piece | ||||

?? the final nail in his kings coffin, black can now force mate. 21.cxd5 Bxd5 22.Qxd5 exd5 is the only way to avoid losing the king. Rfd1 is met by Nf4 with mate next move | ||||
