24... Rxd4 25. f5

! The diagonal is cleared. Again the pawn move weakens the e5 square, but white threatens to play 26. f6! and then Qh6 is desastrous for black. |

26. f6
|
!! The f-pawn is the hero of the game! |

|
|
|
26... Nxg4
|
?! Black wins yet another pawn, but by now it is clear it's not getting him anywhere. |

|
|
|
27. Bxg4 Rxg4 28. Qh6
|
! Finally, I've realised my plan. Mate on g7 is inevitable and it seems like Alex didn't have a clue what was going on. |

|
|
|
28... Rxg2+
|
?! Time for desperate measures.... |

|
|
|
29. Kxg2
|
! Avoiding black's last trick. If 29.Rxg2? black plays 29..Qc5 ! and 30..Qf8 . Now black only has a final discovered check before losing to Qg7 mate! |

|
|
|
29... d4+ 30. Kg1
|
And black resigned.
