21. Bxd4 |
White captured. Black d pawns are weak. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... cxd4 |
Black recaptures. Paula, who had been sitting patiently on c4 suddenly woke up. "I'm free to advance at last." | |||||||

|
22. c5 |
And before anyone could stop her, she charged forward. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22... Qg7 |
Black moves to stop white's plans of a quick king side attack once and for all. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23. Bc4+ |
White throws in a check.... | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Kh8 |
Pretty much forced.... | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24. Qxg7+ |
and then white agrees to the queen exchange. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... Kxg7 |
Forced again. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. b4 |
"Someone had better back up Pauls! b4!" screamed the white king. "before what wondered Paula". Then she realised he meant the square b4, and smiled to herself for being so silly. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25... Bf6 |
Black tries to secure the vunerable pawn on d4. | |||||||

26. Ng5 |
If black exchanges on g5, the pawn on d4 goes, while the white doubled pawn on g5 is not at all weak. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Bb7 27. Bb5 |
White attackes d7. If the d7 pawn goes, Paula on c5 really will have a clear path to promotion. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... h6 |
So black counter-attacks on the king side. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Nf3 |
White retreats the attacked piece, and re-centralises the knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28... Bc6 |
Black tries to stabilise matters on the queen side. Now white would surrender all his advantage by exchanging bishops, the black pawns would be undoubled, and the pawn on d4 could be supported by a rook on d8. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29. Ba6 |
But white is also alert to the needs of the position. b5 followed by c6 is in the air. | |||||||

29... Rfe8 30. Ne5 |
A little temporary sacrifice of a pawn prepares the advance. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... Bxe5 |
White was threatening b5, and after the Bc6 moves, taking on d7 with the knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
31. fxe5 Rxe5 32. Rfd1 Re4 33. b5 |
The queenside pawn start to roll. Paula was getting really excited now. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
33... Bd5 |
The only square. | |||||||
