28... Ne4 |
With the specter of Nd2 , forking queen and king. White's response is forced. | |||||

|
29. Rxe4 dxe4 30. Qxe4 |
Black is now a full piece clear, and has only to find a few good moves to get the queens off to an easily won endgame. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
30... Qf7 |
! Solid! This allows black to start cleaning up, as a knight move will lead to a nifty discovered check. | |||||

|
31. b3 |
? I guess this defends the a-pawn, but white really has not much to do here. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
31... Nxh3+ 32. Kg2 |
? Allows mate in two. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
32... Qf2+ |
! And the finish is either 33. Kh1 Qg1# or 33. Kxh3 Qg3#. A good game by Thomas, who had me on the ropes after a lackadaisical opening, but I managed to complicate and come out on top. I know it's frowned upon by GMs, but if you don't give your opponent the opportunity to make mistakes, how are you going to obtain an advantage? | |||||
