At least all my three main pieces are now working well together. |

|
| |
|
|
25. Nc3
|
She blocks the c file. |

So I exchange rooks. |

|
| |
|
|
26... Bxc3
|
and now win a pawn, and my remaining rook is still active. This must be better for white though. |

This is a mistake. She needed to develop her rook. |

She has a problem now - if the knight moves, b3 goes. |

|

So she tries to hang on to that pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
29... a5
|
And I tie that pawn down. |

|

30. g3

Another mistake. Kf1 was needed. Now I wanted to play a4 and if she takes the pawn, Ra3 and I get the pawn back. But I was afraid of her meeting a4 with b4! and she is winning easily. So I dropped my rook back a square to prevent b3-b4. |

At last her king comes over. |

|
| |
|
|
31... a4
|
I advance. |

|
| |
|
|
32. bxa4

She takes. |

|
| |
|
|
32... Rxa4
|
I take back, and at last I feel I have a chance of holding this game. With all the pawns on the king side it is hard for white to convert. But surely white will not lose? |

My king improves its position. |

|
| |
|
|
34. h4
|
She has a plan of Ng5 and attacks on my pawns on h7 and f7 |
