29. Nc6 |
!! this is brilliant. It infact wins, although at first it is nowhere near obvious and appears to lead to a forced draw. i do not know if Cyrano saw the winning continuation or just the forced draw but the win is spectacular none the less. | |||||

29... Qd6 30. Qd4 |
here black resigned, at first i was unsure why as 30...f6 appears to draw after 31.Qa7 Rf7 32.Qa8 Rf8 33.Qa7 etc. i can't imagine a player of Curators level missing this so i can only imagine he saw the spectacle that was to unfold and did not want to see it played on the board, unfortunatly for him i've stuck it on the end here :D | |||||

30... f6 |
only move to prevent heavy material losses | |||||
| | ||||||
|
31. Qa7 Rf7 32. Qa8+ Rf8 |
not 32...Qf8? 33.Ne7 Rxe7 34.Rc8 when white wins easily | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33. Qb7 |
! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
33... Rf7 34. Qc8+ |
! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
34... Rf8 |
34...Qf8 35.Qe6 with Ne7 to follow is very strong | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35. g6 |
!! white sacrices his queen but forces a pawn through | |||||
| | ||||||
|
35... Rxc8 |
refusing the sac doesn't work either both hxg6 and gxh6 are met by Qb7 winning | |||||
| | ||||||
|
36. Ne7+ |
! the knight is immune as 36...Qxe7 37.Rxc8 wins the queen and forces the g pawn through | |||||
| | ||||||
|
36... Kf8 |
only move | |||||
| | ||||||
|
37. Rxc8+ Kxe7 38. gxh7 |
nothing can stop the promotion and black needs to sacrifice his bishop to prevent the second pawn promoting or the king getting mated | |||||
| | ||||||
|
38... Qg3 39. h8=Q Bxc2+ |
else white plays hxg7 next move. 39.gxh6 also loses as the queen and rook dont struggle to mate | |||||
| | ||||||
|
40. Rxc2 Qe1+ 41. Kb2 Qe5+ 42. Ka3 Qd6+ 43. b4 Qg3+ 44. Kb2 Qe5+ 45. Kb3 Qe3+ 46. Rc3 |
black is out of checks and his king is to exposed not to be mated in short order. as always if you've spotted something i haven't or have any queries/comments on the analysis just message me, hope you enjoyed. | |||||
