31. Qc1 |
White just gives up a third pawn without a fight. PMCA gives 31. d4 b5 32. Re2 Rxe2 33. Qxe2 Kf8 34. Qc2 Qd6 35. Qxh7 Qxd4 36. Qc2 Qf6 37. Qc8+ Ke7 38. Qg4 Kd8 as better. | |||||||||

31... Qxd3 |
So white takes. | |||||||||

32. Rc8 |
This is the best counter-attacking hope. | |||||||||

|
32... Rd8 |
Now Black blunders, and gives up the advantage she has carefully secured. Qg6+ 33. Kh1 Qe6 34. Rc4 Qh3 35. Qd1 b5 36. Re4 Ra8 37. Re5 Qh4 38. Qd7 Rf8 39. Kg2 b4 40. Qc6 Qd4 41. Re7 is given as better by PMCA | |||||||||

34. Qb8 |
And White misses her big chance. She could have drawn with 34. Qc5 Rd8 35. Qc7 Qg6+ 36. Kh1 Qb1+ 37. Kg2 Qg6+ | |||||||||

34... Qa3 |

35. Qxb7 |
White now starts to get the pawns back. | |||||||||

35... Rxc8 |
Black takes. | |||||||||

36. Qxc8+ |
White takes back | |||||||||

36... Qf8 |
Queen has to block | |||||||||

37. Qxa6 |
Now the second pawn goes, White has re-established material equality, and Black's advantage is minimal and based on the split pawns on the kingside. White should be able to draw this. | |||||||||

The queen improves her position | |||||||||

38. f4 |
White advances a pawn. As White I would be tempted to just sit on the position, play something like Q-c4-g4 maybe h2-h3 and just wait for Black to come at me. I think the White queen belongs on the kingside, protecting the king and pawns there. | |||||||||

I am not sure what this achieves. Qe2 seems better to me. | |||||||||

Black wants to attack with the king supporting the queen. | |||||||||
