19. gxf5 exf5 20. Qf4 |
again when all else is equal play a move that limits your opponents options. For example I can not prevent black from playing Be6. However, with the queen on f4 the Bishop has to stay on e6 and the f-rook has to stay at home. Plus Black also has to be very careful of any attacks on the g-file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Be6 21. Rhe1 |
now the gameknot post game engine says this is equal but these types of position always fool engines. But I will make things clear | ||||

21... Bxb3 22. axb3 Rad8 |
White has added superior pawn structure and central dominance to his space advantage. This is more than enough for the win. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. c3 |
limiting black's choices now both ...Qa5 and Nb4 can not aid in the defense of ..f5 | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Rf6 24. h4 |
Here comes the h-pawn and nothing can stop it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... a5 25. Bc4+ |
Look at this Black is being parted like the Red sea and like the children of the Israel the white pieces will walk through on dry land. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Kh7 26. Kb1 |
black is so tied down that any move will let white walk right in the door. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rff8 27. h5 |
entombing the black king in a chamber of light squares. Now for those who are reading this from our club I wrote a thread on successful pawn breaks against the castled king. In that thread I posted a diagram of a basic position of where black had played the f-pawn. In this basic pattern the key to a successful attack is controlling the a2-g8 diagonal. And guess who controls it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Qc5 |
Black last ditch chance is attacking the b3 pawn. So... | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Qc7 |
Black losses a pawn and is forced to play 28. ...Rxd1+ because if white is allowed to play Rxd8 it is lights out | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... Rxd1+ 29. Rxd1 a4 30. Qxb7 |
black is forced to take on b3 in order to keep up. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... axb3 |
forced | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Bd5 Na5 |
black tries to hold onto the material balance but I now have a past c-pawn so I go to exchange the queens | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. Qb4 Rc8 33. Qxc5 Rxc5 34. Bf7 |
threatening mate | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... Rc8 |
forced if 4. ...Rc6 35. Bg6+ and black has to give up the rook to avoid mate. | ||||
| | |||||
|
35. Kc1 |
Now in Rook-Bishop-Pawn vs Rook-Knight-Pawn endings you need a one pawn advantage to win. So either f5 or b3 is gone but black can not defend both. So in a nutshell the game is over. | ||||
| | |||||
|
35... Nc4 36. Re1 Kh8 37. Re7 Kh7 38. f4 Na5 39. Bg6+ Kg8 40. Bxf5 |
for the win! | ||||
| | |||||
|
40... Kf8 41. Ra7 Rc5 42. Bg6 Nc4 43. Rf7+ Kg8 44. Rb7 Kf8 45. Rxb3 Nd6 46. Rb8+ Ke7 47. Rg8 Kf6 |
Now the b and c pawns will steam roll over black | ||||
| | |||||
|
48. Kc2 Rc7 49. b3 Nb5 50. Rf8+ Ke6 51. c4 Nd4+ 52. Kc3 Nb5+ 53. Kb4 Nd4 54. f5+ Ke5 55. Re8+ Kf6 56. c5 Rb7+ 57. Kc4 Nxb3 58. Re6+ Kg5 59. c6 Na5+ 60. Kc5 Rb3 61. c7 Rc3+ 62. Kb6 Rc1 63. Kxa5 |
black gets the c-pawn but the white king with make is way unmolested to feast on g7. | ||||
