36... Nxd5 |
?! slightly inaccurate move order as white has an extra possiblility in this line, the immediate Rxb2 was stronger | |||||
| | ||||||
|
37. Rxf7 Rxb2+ |
here is where white has the extra chance with Rf2 with a win, if this were played a move earlier black would have to play Kg1 as after Rf2 black wins by Rxf2 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
38. Kg1 |
? white misses the best chance in Rf2 and now black has real chances, at least for the draw | |||||
| | ||||||
|
38... Rxf7 39. Qc4 |
?? this move just loses on the spot, white wins a whole rook in fact and keeps the initative. Bg3 was the only try for an advantage. Rxd5 was probably best when white should give up up his bishop to prevent the draw | |||||
| | ||||||
|
39... Ne3 |
Game over, blacks advantage is huge, white can't even win the knight after it takes the rook | |||||
| | ||||||
|
40. Qd4 Rg2+ 41. Kh1 Rxh2+ 42. Kg1 Nxd1 |
now if Qxd1 black captures the bishop | |||||
| | ||||||
|
43. Be1 Rc2 |
white now has the threats of Bh2 and Bc5 to deal with, white can easily resign here as both threats can only be met by Qd5 or Qd3 and black still has his mating threats | |||||
| | ||||||
|
44. Bd2 |
meeting the first threat but not the second | |||||
| | ||||||
|
44... Bc5 |
White resigns. this game was full of errors from both sides but it goes to show that sometime this best move isn't always the move you should play, sometimes it pays to play an objectively weaker move that gives you opponent chance to go wrong, or that gives you counter play (35...Rb8) than the stronger move that gives your opponent a definate advanage in a quiet position. if your opponent has a winning advantage you should try to give yourself chances rather than play the 'best' move. | |||||
