21. Bf4 |
He develops his bishop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
21... d4 |
I hit his knight again! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
22. Ne4+ |
He checks | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
22... Kf5 |
King up. Now if he plays Bg3 then Bb4 looks good to me. To maintain the protection of his Ne4, 23. Re2 is forced, then d3 forces Re3 and then Nd4 looks massive to me. Nc7 is threatened and if Rxd6? loses to Ne7+. Unfortunately he probably saw all this too..... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
23. Bd2 |
So he retreated his bishop to a better square. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
23... Nc7 |
So finally this knight comes into play. | ||||||||

24. b4 |
He threatens b5 and if I take on b4 he wins the pawn on a7. I prevent b5, but maybe the best way of me to do this is to play b5 myself. | ||||||||

24... a6 |
So I stop b5 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
25. Nc5 |
But he has this, Maybe taking this knight was best, but instead I played | ||||||||

25... Rd5 |
and held my breath. Now if he takes on b7, I take on b4, his knight on b7 is short of squares, I don't think I can actually win it. But luckily for me, while I was considering whether it was best to take with the knight or the bishop on b4, he played what I think is a weaker alternative for him. | ||||||||

26. Nd3 |
This protects b4 but.... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
26... Rb5 |
I can attack it again, and I have Nd5 coming in, attacking it again. He can't hold this pawn, and I think chances are equal now. Somewhere around here I offered a draw, which he turned down. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
27. h3 |
I'm not sure this helps him much. | ||||||||

27... Nd5 |
Onwards with my plan | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
28. g4+ |
Yet another check, achieving about as much as the previous ones! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
28... Kf6 |
In fact here I am protecting my bishop | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
29. h4 |
Hecarries on with this advance. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
29... Bd6 |
No need to hurry to take the b pawn, it is not going anywhere. This move may prevent him from putting a piece on e5 or f4, and also in some variation he may play g5+ to devert my king from protecting my bishop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
30. h5 |
He continues with his plan. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
30... Ncxb4 |
I finally take the pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
