24... Qd7 25. Re1 |
A sidestep to prevent black's rook escaping from the coming fork with Rxf1 . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Bg5 |
This will lead to an exchange of dark squared bishops, which should not ultimately be to black's advantage. Better would have been to admit Rcf8 was a mistake and move it away again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. fxe6 fxe6 27. Ng6 |
Now white wins the exchange. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Bxc1 28. Rexc1 Rhg8 29. Nxf8 Rxf8 30. Rcf1 |
Seizing the f-file for the rooks, as black can keep the c-file blocked. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30... Rf7 31. Qg6 |
Those weak light squares again... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Rxf1+ 32. Rxf1 Ne3 |
Black attempts to find counterplay. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Rf8+ Nc8 |
Not Kc7?, otherwise Rf7 ! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. Kf2 |
Putting the question to the intruding knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34... Nc4 |
Black obviously judges that this knight is stronger than the bishop - which might appear logical, but that is not how things will work out. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. Re8 |
The big question for me at this point was to stop black´s queen coming down the c-file and possibly getting a perpetual (or worse). I thought this plan was the best way of tying her down. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35... Nxa3 36. Qxe6 Qxe6 |
Qc6 would have allowed the pleasing tactic 37 Qd6 Qxd6, 38 ed! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Rxe6 Nc2 38. Bxd5 |
The bishop joins the action at last. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38... Nxb4 39. Be4 |
Once again shackling the knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39... a5 |
Black's remaing trump is of course this pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40. Rg6 |
White insists on going for the g7 pawn, attacking b7 and securing a winning breakthrough for an eventual pawn ending. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40... a4 41. Rxg7 Nc6 |
Black needs to prevent Rxb7 . | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
42. Bxc6 |
Disconnecting black´s passed pawns. It might look as if the white rook is cut off from the a-pawn, but in fact it will reach it in time. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
42... bxc6 43. Ke3 |
Getting out of the rook´s way, while also threatening to enter the a-pawn´s square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
43... a3 44. Rf7 Nb6 |
A last attempt to make trouble with the knight from d5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
45. Kd3 |
Getting the king off the a7-g1 diagonal in the event of a pawn race after g5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
