19... Bxc5
|
finally saving the bishop. if black can now tie up all the loose ends it will surely be an easy win from there on in |

|
| |
|
|
20. f5
|
white aims for a kingside attack as compensation for the exchange, will it be enough? |

|
| |
|
|
20... Ne7 21. Bg5
|
?! 21.f6 with Bh6 to follow seems to be a better try. The computer suggests that the quiet Bc2 is the best move for white here but it's not exactly the most natural maneuver, especially when down the exchange and a pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
21... Bb6
|
?? yet again Bb6 turns out to be an awful move. Qd6 was the correct way to secure the black bishop, now white gets a huge attack |

|
| |
|
|
22. f6
|
! good move, cracking open the black king |

|
| |
|
|
22... gxf6 23. Bxf6 Qd7
|
all white needs to do is get his queen to the kingside and black is in serious trouble |

|
| |
|
|
24. Bc2
|
?? this allows black to save the game. 24.Qc1!! was very strong, black must give up the e7 knight with 24...Qg5 or else face a huge attack |

|
| |
|
|
24... Qc6
|
! this elastic band move holds onto the extra material and consolidates the black postion |

|
| |
|
|
25. Qb4
|
?? black naturally tries to avoid trading queens but there is no good way to do it |

|
| |
|
|
25... Qxf6
|
gobbling up the free piece |

|
| |
|
|
26. e5 Nc6
|
?? yet another blunder in this game of blunders, this allows white to regain the lost rook and be down only a pawn |

|
| |
|
|
27. Qg4+
|
?? and again white misses the best continuation, it appears both sides are trying their hardest to lose! 27.Qxf8 was the correct move |

|
| |
|
|
27... Qg7
|
from here on in niether side makes any glaring cock ups and black duely converts his winning advantage |

|
| |
|
|
28. Ng5 Nxe5 29. Qf5 Ng6
|
29.Nc4! was better, you must mix counterattack with defence in the right quantities, here was an opportunity to counter |

|
| |
|
|
30. h4 Nxh4 31. Qd3
|
White needs to keep the queens on to have any chances |

|
| |
|
|
31... Ng6 32. Rh1 Rcd8 33. Qf5 h6 34. Ne4 Qe5
|
black now starts to try and force the queens off |

|
| |
|
|
35. Nf6+ Kg7 36. Nh5+ Kh8 37. Qf1
|
white has suceeded in keeping the queens on the board but now it is black who is attacking! |

|
| |
|
|
37... Rd2 38. g3 Qc3
|
the black pieces move in for the kill |

|
| |
|
|
39. Qf5 Bd4
|
its amazing how quickly things can change |

|
| |
|
|
40. Kc1 Rd8 41. Nf4
|
not 41.Qxf7?? Qxc2# but black can force mate whatever white plays here, so i suppose it doesn't really matter. |
