21. Kh1 |
I do similar to prepare a doubling of the rooks followed by a difficult assault to stop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... Qc6 |
Nice move, keeping an eye on a4 if my queen was to move and also preventing any ideas of e4. | |||||||

Giving a space for my queen to join the action. Note that Nh5 is not a threat as Rh3 would kick the knight right back to where it was and there could be some nasty tactics on h6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Qe8 |
Brought back to defend g7. | |||||||
| | ||||||||

24... Qf8 |
This game is now clearly won. All I had to do now was push e4 followed by an unstoppable e5, and black would be completely busted. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. Qh3 |
?! Waste of time. I was getting too overworked over tactics on h6, but there really weren't any there. | |||||||
| | ||||||||

26. Qg2 |
Admitting that I had made a mistake, I calmly went back to push e4. The good news about this position is that I can take my time and be patient. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Rb6 |
A last attempt to try and make something happen on the queen side, but it is too late now. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. e4 |
Should have been done 2 moves ago. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... Rb8 |
There was probably a stronger way to defend, but in time trouble my opponent could find nothing better. | |||||||
| | ||||||||

29. Qh3 |
Now this move makes sense as white is threatening Bxh6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29... Qe7 |
Stopping Bxh6, but allows the break-through. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30. f6 |
Upon post game analysis I found that 30. Rxg7! Rxg7 31. Rxg7 Kxg7 32. Bxh6+! was a more forcing victory. But this move still gets the job done, forcing gxf6 after which my bishop can finally get in on the action. | |||||||
| | ||||||||

30... gxf6 |
