21. Qxh4
She takes.

 
21... Bxh4
I take back.

 
22. Na4
She very cleverly now starts probing my weaknesses on the queen side.

 
22... Be7
I move my bishop back to a safer square.

23. Be3
She redirects her bishop, also at my weak black squares on the queen side.

 
23... f6
My plan is to advance d6-d5, but I want to make sure e5 is firmly protected first.

24. Bb6
So she hits my rook.

 
24... Rd7
This is the only square it can go to.

 
25. c4
She makes d6-d5 harde - this is an excellent move!

25... d5
But I decide to play it anyway.

 
26. Nc5
Her knight comes in.

 
26... Rd6
My rook shuffles up the board again.

 
27. b4
Since dropping the pawn, the lovely Laura has played really well, but this just drops another pawn.

Which I snatch off, opening up the d file for my rook too.

28. Rc1
She goes after my c pawn.

 
28... Bd8
I decide I can't protect that pawn, so I try to exchange her active bishop.

 
29. Na4
This is a mistake too - far better to exchange bishops and take on c4.

 
29... Be6
Sp now I protect c4 and I am just two pawns up.
