13... Nbd7 |
After some thinking what to do against his well-placed knight I reasoned that my knight on the queenside isn't of any use there anyway (since White's pawn move to b3 it got out of squares!), so I use to get rid of his intruder. Besides of that, the 'Silman pawn rule' (from 'The Amateur's Mind') came into my mind; my pawns point to the kingside, so I should concentrate of that side of the board! | ||||||

! I was very excited after finding this move that forces the opponents rook to fall. It would have been possible already one move ago. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. g4 |
Okay, I have to be somewhat careful that I really win the rook for only one minor piece, not for two - my light-squared bishop and my knight on f6 both run out of squares! | ||||||
| | |||||||

15... Bxc1 |
Now or never! | ||||||

I guess taking with the queen would have been more reasonable because it defends the knight. I have won rook for minor piece by now, but my bishop is still attacked! | ||||||

Both 16... Be6 and 16... Bg6 would be blunder, because of 17. f5! and the bishop falls. The sad thing is, even the right-looking 16... Be4 would be bad, because of 17. g5! and my knight runs out of squares. This move exploits the fact that the knight on c3 isn't defended! 16... Nxe5 would also have been a possibility, but I didn't want him to open up the f-file. | ||||||

Okay, at this point I was really happy that the material winning trick worked without problems. | ||||||
| | |||||||

He wants to get rid of my bishop and places his queen on the f-file. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nf6 |
I prefer to let him initiate the exchange and place my knight on the beautiful e4 square then. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Rf2 Bxf3 |
After this rook move I changed my mind, because the knight goes to e4 with tempo (it attacks his rook). | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qxf3 Ne4 |
The knight feels very comfortable there. That move also enables my f-pawn to advance, to get rid of my opponent's knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||

21. Rg2 f6 |
Go away! | ||||||

At this point I was a bit unsure what to do again, so I decided to get my pawns on the queenside going. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. f5 |
Again surprised, more expecting 23. g5. But then I saw, this pawn moves gives his knight a nice home on e6 which could get quite unpleasant for me. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Ng5 |
That move was the product of fear of his knight to come to e6 _and_ the hope that his attacked queen would go to a place where it leaves the pawn h3 undefended or even to f2 where a fork would be possible (yeah, I know, utopic...). | ||||||

I thought about going to e4 again with the knight which could possibly lead to a three-fold repetition (Black knight goes back and forth between g5 and e4 and White queen between f3 and g3), but then again... why have fear, when I'm ahead in material? I can win this game! | ||||||
| | |||||||

The g5 square for the knight is now history. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Ne4 |
This time I sweared to myself I wouldn't leave that e4 square with the knight - there's no reason, that place is perfect. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Qf3 a4 |
Trying to open the a-file. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. b4 |
I wasn't happy about this - it's typical for me to overlook simple pawn advance moves. But the good thing is, this pawn is only defended by his knight. | ||||||
