|
17... f5 |
! White's position on the kingside is rife with attacking opportunities, so black shows some aggression of his own. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. b5 |
A bit premature here, as white's c pawn is still blocked in, and b5 can no longer be occupied by the Nc3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Bh6 |
Creating a new home for the Nh7. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Kg2 |
? Nb1 or even Kh1 make much more sense. White is walking straight into the gunfire. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Ng5 |
As planned. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Nc1 |
? Retreating even further away from the defense of the exposed king. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... e4 |
Black takes advantage of white wanting to seemingly play on his heels, and forces him to retreat even further. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Be2 f4 |
! There are just too many holes around the enemy king for black not to keep advancing. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22. f3 |
Putting an end to any further f file action. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Ne5 |
Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. h3 |
White prevents any sac ideas black may have on g4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... exf3+ 24. Bxf3 Ngxf3 |
Black picks up a bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Ra3 |
! Deceptively strong. White loads the 3rd rank. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Qh4 |
! Threatening a forced mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26. Nc3e2 |
! Protecting the weak g3 square, and opening the door to get his 2nd rook into the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
26... Nxg4 |
Black correctly calculates that he has just too much firepower bearing down on the enemy king for this not to be justified. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. Raxf3 |
White has finally coordinated his pieces in defense. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27... Ne3+ |
! Worst case scenario for white is gaining a rook for a knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28. Rxe3 |
Practically forced. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... fxe3 |
Of course. | ||||||
| | |||||||
