So it is... | ||||||||

I don't know why black retreated his knight. Perhaps he saw something I did not see and felt he had to do this. I honestly don't know. Unless he is trying to save the isolated pawn b5. | ||||||||

This move is really just to downsize and keep the status quo the way it is. I don't have isolated pawns but black does have this isolated pawn. I feel downsizing is fine at this point. | ||||||||

Black really has no choice here. | ||||||||

Downsize to the isolated pawn.... | ||||||||

The protection of the isolated pawn comes after an exchange. Now we are down to a knight apiece and equal pawns. But black has the isolated pawn and I do not! | ||||||||

I go after that area with the most (second) powerful piece on the board.... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||

34... Ke8 |
Black is doing the same... | ||||||||

By attacking the pawn I freeze his only defender.... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||

And then black is moving forward on the right side of the board--but to no avail. The real action is where the kings are going. I have to freeze the right side as White to get to business on the LEFT side. | ||||||||

There is the freeze on the right for me to move about on the LEFT. | ||||||||

He is moving into the left where the action really resides now... | ||||||||

So am I! | ||||||||

His king has to get to the front so a pawn has to make way. Black is using his knight for support instead of coming forward to check me. My king is not in a position to really be hassled by the black night anyway. | ||||||||

A king forward is what it should be. Leading the way into battle instead of resting on heels in a safe place. In the end game the King is King! | ||||||||

And does Black know this! | ||||||||

Time for a skirmish. Of course I see that d5 pawn and I am "opening the way" to promotion for him if I make a wrong move. But the RIGHT side of the board will help ME on the LEFT side of the board should it come down to a promoting endeavor by the Black King and pawn! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39... Nxb5 |
I have to take it and I am confident to stop a promotion by the d5 pawn to d1. I anticipated this and the way Black would have to move that pawn and king to get there.... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. Kxb5 |
I take the knight at a possible seeming risk to allow the d5 pawn through the lines to promotion. But, I have my f2 pawn and g3 pawn (and h3 pawn) in a funneling effect to diminish the opposition's movement of King! | ||||||||

There he goes for the promotion walk! | ||||||||
