54. Rh1 |
Rh1 is totally winning. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
54... Rg2 |
wants to guard the pawn and have Ra2 stopping my pawn from promoting and then play g5 g4 g3 g2 crushing. Unfortunately for him this play takes too long. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
55. a7 |
Accurate moves win the game. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
55... Ra2 |
So he has to stop my queen from promoting with his rook. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
56. Kb6 |
A quiet move which secures victory. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
56... g5 |
starting his idea. This position is dangerous for white if I missed my move then this could've happened. Kb7 g4 a8=Q Rxa8 Kxa8 g3!! totally winning for black. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
57. Rxh2 |
Too bad for him I had a tactic, he cannot recapture with the rook b/c I will queen. If he doesn't take then I now have Kb7 winning. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
57... Rxh2 |
He took it. He thought this was the only chance here b/c he has a R 2 passed pawns against my queen pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
58. a8=Q |
Forced. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
58... Kg6 |
This position is resignable on my analysis but if I was a total fish then I might let him get his 2 pawns to the end of the board. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
59. Qe4+ |
Qe4 ! if he plays Kg7 then I have Qe5 winning the rook. He loses the rook by force here. If Kh5 then Qh7!. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
59... f5 |
Hoping to save his rook. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
60. Qe8+ |
He loses his rook for sure. If Kh6 Qh8 , or if Kg7 Qe5 . if Kh7 then I have Qd7 Kg8 (Kg6 Qd6 ) Qc8 Kg7 Qc7 . If he plays Kf6 hen I have Qc6 followed by Qc7 . This game proves that a carefully calculated endgame can lead to a brilliant win. | ||||||||
