A forked attack by the Knight theatening both Rook & pawn (with check from a7!) | |||||
| | ||||||
|
22... Bxc6 |
Black takes the Knight removing the threat it posed, and preserving the possibility of aligning Rooks for a back row check. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
23. dxc6 |
White retakes with the pawn. Although well advanced the pawn is blocked and it lacks support, so does not pose a significant threat. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
23... Rhe8 |
Black aligns Rooks threatening a back row check which would win the White Queen | |||||
| | ||||||
|
24. Rf1 |
White sees the danger and defends the back row with the Rook | |||||
| | ||||||
|
24... Qd4+ |
Black Q forks K & Q forcing the exchange. The idea is to create a passed pawn which White cannot prevent from being promoted | |||||

25. Qxd4 cxd4 |
The Queen exchange favours Black because because of the passed pawn but also because Black has a material advantage | |||||

Black advances the rook avoiding the threat from the f-pawn and now attacks the a-pawn | |||||
| | ||||||

White's intention here is not clear. Advance of the a-pawn could have prevented its loss. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
27... Rxa2 |
Rxp intending to bring the other rook to e2 creating a check-mating attack following removal of the g-pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
28. Rf2 |
White prevents the intended rook advance, but again the exchange suits Black in these circumstances. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
28... Rxf2 29. Kxf2 |
The White king retakes the rook, but the passed pawn now has a clear path to promotion since the king cannot cross the e-file. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
29... d3 |
White resigns at this point, recognising that mate will be inevitable within a few moves. | |||||
