11. exd6 |
Now, white is winning a pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bf6 |
Better would've been 11. ...Bxd6 12. dxc5 Bc7, but it is still much better for white. In chess sometimes you must take your medicine and choose the lesser of evils. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. dxc5 |
Now, the advanced pawns are a serious problem for black. Black could've had essentially the same position minus white's pawn on d6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... O-O-O |
Blasck needs to counter attack, but how? If black would've eliminated the d6 pawn earlier, you can imagine ways of creating mischief, but now it is very difficult. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. O-O |
White finally secures his king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Rde8 |
Play down the e-file is ineffective, but it is better than nothing. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Bd4 |
White is two pawns to the good and willing to trade pieces. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Nxd4 |
14. ...Bxd3 was the alternative, now or on the next move.. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nxd4 |
Forcing black's hand. 15. ...Bxd4 16. cxd4 secures the advanced pawns, and 15. ...Bxd3 16. Qxd3 is much better for white as well. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Re3 |
Over looking white's next. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bxf5 |
1-0. 4. ...Nf6 put black behind the eight ball a little bit, because white was able to grab some space for free. White then tried to saddle black with inferior pawn structure as well. Black tried to sacrifice material in order to gain counter play, but white's positional advantage was maintained. | ||||
