34. Bxd5 |
I take the knight anyway with the same idea. | |||||||||

|
34... exd5 |
If Rxd5 then I had Bf4 and if he played Rxd1 then I had Bxc7!! totally winning. | |||||||||

35. Bf4 |
Planning on the crushing c7. | |||||||||

35... Rcc8 |
Only move. Re7 would lose the d-pawn for free. | |||||||||

36. c7 |
Making progress on the passed pawn. | |||||||||

36... Rd7 |
Putting pressure on my passed pawn. Black has the threat o g5 here which would win the pawn. | |||||||||

|
37. Rc6 |
I'm defending against g5 b/c I would have Bd6 and also I am threatening a6. So this is a prophylactic move. | |||||||||

37... Re7+ |
The idea to limit the range of my dark square bishop after Be5. | |||||||||

38. Kf3 |
Bringing my king into play. | |||||||||

Blocks my Bishop. | |||||||||

39. Rxd5 |
!! Now I just won a pawn, and I have Rxa6 next move. I had this variation calculated since move 30. So now my analysis has to take a new route. | |||||||||

39... Bxf4 |
Preparing to take the c-pawn. | |||||||||

40. gxf4 |
gxf4! I realized that my kingside pawn structure had no meaning and if I played Kxf4 then he would have Re2 later on. | |||||||||

40... Rcxc7 |
Preparing for the next move. | |||||||||

41. Rxa6 |
Take a free pwn. | |||||||||

41... Rca7 |
Ra7 an interesting move b/c if I take it then he will have a drawish position. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
42. Rdd6 |
Giving support to my rook. The only move that gives me chances. | |||||||||
| | ||||||||||
|
42... Red7 |
A pointless move. White is winning now. | |||||||||

43. Ke4 |
Ke4! now my king is going to capture his b5 pwn soon. | |||||||||
