26. Qb3 |
Playing for draw? | ||||

26... Qxb3 |
Much better would have been Qe8 (Kf2, f4...). I admit my plans were not clear, at this point. | ||||

27. axb3 f4 28. Bd2 Kd7 29. Kf2 Ke6 30. Kf3 Kf5 31. g4+ |
And this is the interesting part. | ||||

31... Kxg5 32. b4 |
I expected: Bxf5, NxB, h4+, Kxh4, KxN. Is white winning in this position? The doubled pawns are really a problem for white, and d5 implies a lost race. And if the white king leaves unattended g4, and the black king and pawns alone, white will lose... | ||||

32... Nh4+ |
Ok, so my turn. | ||||

|
33. Kf2 Kxg4 |
Things look pretty good for black, now. | ||||

34. h3+ Kf5 |
! Instead of taking the pawn (I could have done it), this moves means that d4 will fall. And all black pawns can easily be on white squares, so no way to fight for white. He resigned. | ||||
