21... Qa6 22. Ra1 |
Black won't even get the consolation of a pawn for his knight sortee. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Bg3 23. Nf3 |
Now the knight comes back in with a good position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Qb7 24. a4 a5 25. Qc4 f6 26. b4 Bf4 |
I was prepared for this move and I was happy to simplify and get a better square for my knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Bxf4 exf4 28. Nd4 |
The knight couldn't go here with the pawn at e5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Rde8 29. Ne6 f3 30. gxf3 g6 |
a good attempt to open the position for the Black rooks, he's trying hard to gain an advantage. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. fxg6 |
taking to keep my pawn stricture intact, I'm wagering that I can weather any offensive. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Rxg6+ 32. Kh2 Reg8 33. f4 Qa7 34. bxa5 |
This move is foolish and is the result of not calculating (laziness). Simpler is b5 trapping the Queen in the corner and freeing my queen to move around and maybe pick up a rook or two. | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... bxa5 |
Here is a key position, I should play Qxp and trade quens while goping up a second pawn, but I faulter. | ||||
| | |||||
|
35. Rb1 |
?? | ||||
| | |||||
|
35... Rg6g1 |
Only now do I see the mate threats. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36. Rbb2 |
?? I am lost but I can't do much else. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36... Re1 |
Here my opponent faulters and loses, 36. ... Rh8 ! Kxh8(forced) 37.Qg8 and for all his efforts White loses. | ||||
| | |||||
|
37. Rdg2 |
The onlt saving move but it ruins the mate threats and offers good simplification. | ||||
| | |||||
|
37... Rg1 38. Nxc7 Rg1xg2+ 39. Rxg2 Rxg2+ 40. Kxg2 Qxc7 41. Qxc7+ Kxc7 |
The rest of this game is endgame technique but is worth study by a diligent student. | ||||
