21... fxe5 |
No point in leaving my pawns doubled. dxc+ and I have to take it back with the K, anyway... | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Nf5 Rg5 |
Pursuing the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Ne7 |
Fatal mistake, I think. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... cxd6 24. Nd5 |
Good! Now, I have two choices: Rh-g8 looks promising, but the knight, while taking the bishop, covers g2, so... I have only... | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Rf5 25. g3 |
White could have recovered the pawn at once, but decides to be nasty. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Rg8 26. Nxf4 |
exN is tempting, but I will lose a pawn, so I have to be very careful for the endgame. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Rxf4 27. Rxd6+ Ke7 |
Maybe better Kc7. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Rd5 f6 29. Kh1 |
I can still go Rd4, but I didn't want an isolani I cannot support well enough (probably). | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Rc4 30. Rfd1 |
I know, but I'm looking for counterplay. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... h4 |
Just let's see what happens. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Rd5d7+ |
Of course. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Ke6 32. Rxb7 |
Ok, I expected R1-d4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... hxg3 33. hxg3 Rc2 |
Nastier than the check. | ||||
| | |||||
|
34. Kg2 |
Now, white seems to be safe, but... | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... e4 |
Another pawn's sac (a7)... but it is only apparent (Rxb2). Still, it is good for white (the a pawn becomes free). | ||||
| | |||||
|
35. b4 |
Ah, a tempo spent to defend the b2 pawn is a present to me. | ||||
| | |||||
|
35... e3 |
White probably overlooked the power of this move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36. Re1 |
And now, after this mistake (Rf1, and if e2, Re1, then Kf3). | ||||
| | |||||
|
36... Rxf2+ |
Now look this beauty. | ||||
| | |||||
|
37. Kh3 Rh8+ 38. Kg4 f5+ 39. Kg5 Rg8+ 40. Kh6 Rh2# |
Wow, poor white I bet he never smelled the trap until he was right in. Thank you for reading... | ||||
