33. Rfc1 |
But I had not thought of winning it either. This move looks very natural but like White's 22nd it fails tactically. | |||||

33... Bxb6 |
I saw this was playable almost instantly and after checking the lines a little deeper I was rather happy that I had managed to snag up the pawn and was probably going to win the game. | |||||

34. Rxb6 Ne2+ |
The tricky Knight delivers one last killer blow. | |||||

35. Bxe2 Rxc1+ 36. Kg2 Rd2 |
The point of the combination. After the Bishop moves e3 is very strong and White will have to give the piece back for the pawn and I will be left an exchange up with a passed f-pawn. White's a-pawn will soon drop and the resulting endgame will be just a matter of time to win. | |||||

37. Rf6 |
A rather desperate move. White wants to defend f2 with the Rook and capture a pawn in the process. | |||||

37... Rxe2 38. Rxf5 e3 39. Rf3 Rxa2 |
I had calculated 40. Nb4 e2 41. Nxa2 e1Q 42. Nxc1 Qxc1 with a very easy win for Black. The winning plan is to push the f-pawn and squeeze the King into the corner then capture either the f-pawn or the Rook if it goes to a bad square. But White didn't feel like playing anymore and resigned here. | |||||
