25. Rd1
and now d4 is no more an option...

 
25... Qe7 26. a4 Qg5
black is deeply focused on my king, but there is nothing serious as the line 2 is well defended.

 
27. axb5 axb5
now black has 2 weak pawns.

 
28. h4 Qg6 29. Rcd2
focusing on the central weak pawn.

 
29... Nc7
defending?

 
30. e4
of course, dxe is impossible, as it is followed by Rxd8. This move is the first one which included the next ones I planned. Before that, I had no clear idea how to penetrate. I only had the idea to focus on the weak pawn.

 
30... Rd7 31. Kh2
this prepares the next, which i hoped to be a surprised for my opponent... The computer did not like this movement, and prefer to take the weak pawn directly, but this convert my strong pawn in weak pawn... So i don't like the computer option.

 
31... Red8 32. e5
and... I think it was a surprise, as we'll see.

32... Qe6 33. f4
now 2 pawns, very strong are going to treasure land...

 
33... Qf5
black seems without idea. Why black queen didn't go there first? And why go there?

34. Bc2
... because it is exposed!

 
34... Qe6
and back...

 
35. f5
e and f pawns makes black queen play... In the meanwhile, black bishop and knight are blocked... no speaking of the rooks... On the other side, both of my bishops threat the king-side

 
35... Qc6 36. Qg3
threatening discovered attacks on the king AND protecting g2.

 
36... Ne8
decent move... but will lead to a larger blockade.

 
37. Bd4
prohibiting the e4 advancing, but also threatening another move... do you see which one?

37... Ba8
does not know what to play... can't blame him... black has no more space.

 
38. h5
if i had played f6, I guess black would have played g6, and the threat was almost killed. So i had to prohibate it.

 
38... f6
once again, black had no choice: f6 played by white was too dangerous.

 
39. e6
but e6 is dangerous, too...
