25. Nh4 |
I attack the g6 pawn... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Be8 |
Black defends... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Nhf3 e6 |
Black defends his d5 pawn... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. h4 |
! I lock down the kingside with this move. Since I have two knights against two bishops, I should keep the position closed. Black cannot advance on the kingside without losing material. However, my knights can jump into Black's territory via e5 or g5. | ||||||

Most of Black's forces are locked to the kingside. What to do... | ||||||

! Since my pieces have greater mobility, I can afford to open up the queenside so my rooks invade Black's back rank. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... a6 29. Ra1 Kd8 30. Rb2 Ke7 |
? Black had to play 30...c6 to slow down my advance on the queenside. Now my rooks can infiltrate the enemy. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31. b5 a5 32. b6 |
Black has to take or else I promote it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... cxb6 33. Rxb6 |
Infiltration successful. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33... Rh8 |
Black has no coherent plan right now. | ||||||

34. Ra6 |
! I attack the lone pawn that can't be protected. However, I have other plans... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Rg8 35. Rb1 |
My a pawn obviously cannot be taken | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Kf8 36. Rb7 |
The other point of 34.Ra6 is that it allows me to double the rooks on the same rank if I need to. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36... Rg7 |
Black challenges my rook... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Rb8 |
! I move away, pinning his bishop on the way. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37... Ke7 |
A last ditch effort from Black to get some freedom... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38. Ra7+ |
But his request has been denied. The king is forced to go to f8. (38...Kd6?? 39.Rb6+ Bc6 40.Rxc6#) | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38... Kf8 39. Raa8 Re7 |
The only defence. Can you find the winning move without going to the next page? (There are multiple solutions) | ||||||
