20. Nc3 O-O-O |
White's going to play e4, and by castling long I can take advantage of this advance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. e4 dxe4 22. Rxd8+ Rxd8 |
More pieces off the board (my intention). Now it's just rook vs rook and the stalion vs the stodgy bishop. The pawn on e4 is of no importance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Nxe4 Rd4 |
But the knight has to be imprisoned on c3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Nc3 |
White must be sick of playing Nc3 by now. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Kd7 |
This move keeps with the principle of eliminating effective squares for the knight. Now Nxa7 won't give check. The c7 square isn't safe for the king because of Nb5 giving check. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Nb5 |
White continues to lash out with the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Rd5 |
And black continues to slowly tame him. Nxa7 is now impossible due to Ra5 trapping the knight. Notice how this wouldn't be possible if Nxa7 gave check. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. a4 |
Oh, yeah, the rook move threatened the knight. I can't let it get too secure there, since my c pawn is en prise. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... a6 |
Back! Back to c3! | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Nc3 |
That's better. The knight's an effective blockader, but his range is slowly being reduced. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Rc5 |
An in-between move, inviting Ne4. The idea is to keep white from doing anything productive. 28. Ne4 Rc6 and white doesn't have anything useful to do. He can play g4 or h4 or f4 or whatever, but f5 would eventually force the knight back to c3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. f4 f5 |
I was going to play f5 anyhow, to take control of the e4 square and post the bishop on f6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
29. Rb1 |
Whoa! can't have this. Let's get the rook back where it belongs... | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Bf6 30. Rc1 |
That's better. The white knight is utterly passive now, as is the rook. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Ra5 |
And white, reduced to absolute passivity, resigns. All continuations end badly for white, since Bxc3 Rxc3 Rxa4 creates two passed pawns, with another one on the kingside in reserve. | ||||
