26. Rh2

! Very strong. White further protects the critically weak Ne2 while maintaining all other threats. |

|
|
|
26... Nc6
|
?! This move feels right, and black was wary of playing Ng6. Perhaps it was better to just let him stay right where he was however. |

White presses forward, and looks to get his queen to the h file. |

|
|
|
27... Nd4
|
?? Incredibly bad. Black didn't see the white queen retaking. |

28. Qxd4
|
White nabs the free piece. |

28... Rcd2

Black attempts to keep white distracted. |

Black clings to the cliff. |

32. Kg1 Qe3+
|
! Black can now defend h7 and give a brutal pin after 33. Kh1 Qe4. |

|
33. Kh1 Qe4 34. Qd8+
|
White's only real attacking option is with his queen, so........ |

|
|
|
34... Kxg7 35. Qg5+ Kf8
|
If white plays ANY move that doesn't deliver a check he is lost. |

36. Qd8+ Kg7 37. Qf6+ Kf8 38. Qd8+ Kg7
|
And draw agreed upon. A very interesting game I thought. - Thomas |
