27... Kf7
I felt uncomfortable on the g-file where White's rook is and planned to defend my king's fortress properly.

 
28. Nf4
Of course, White heads for e6.

Being on the sixth rank is usually the most powerful place for a knight, but fortunately he can't do any harm there in this case.

 
29... Qxb4
Why not take a free pawn? My queen is ready to penetrate the opponents fortress.

 
30. g5 Qe1+
Forcing the queen exchange which is good for me because I am ahead of material (his bishop hangs if he doesn't place his queen in-between).

Taking the pawn on h4 instead of the queen exchange was also tempting, but it looked like the opponent could trap me with endless rook attacks between the g- and h-file then, so I wanted to be on the safe side.

Smashing that knights support point! h7-h6 would probably also have been good.

 
34. Rb2
One last hope for my opponent...

 
34... b5
Fortunately those one-move threats are easy defend.

 
35. Rc2
Another try...

 
35... Rac8
Now White is lost, more loss of material is about to come.

 
36. Ba3 Ng3+ 37. Kg2
? This creates the perfect knight fork on e3.

 
37... Nxf5
White can't avoid more loss of material. After this move Mr. Hamarat gave up and we shook hands. Victory! Another great simultaneous exhibition in the Vienna Stadion Center. A great game where I could finally make some use of the concepts presented in Jeremy Silmans book for chess amateurs. I will also analyze it with Fritz and add some comments to the positions where some tactical shots were possible that we haven't seen. At the risk of repeating myself: feel free to comment, I'm always happy to learn from better players! One final note: the ELO rating '~2400' is probably not true for 'real on the board' chess, but probably only for correspondence chess.
