36. e5 |
White advances again. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
36... Nd7 |
and the knight drops back. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|

White throws in a check | ||||||||

|
37... Ke7 |
More or less forced. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38. Rg8 |
and now white attacks on the king side too. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38... g6 |
Black saves the pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39. Bxg6 |
But white comes up with this bishop sacrifice, leaving white with four connected passed unstopable king side pawns. | ||||||||

39... fxg6 40. Rxg6 h5 41. Rh6 |
Black now needs to counter-attack with Ra7, but is still in defensive mode. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
41... Rc8 42. Rxh5 Rf8 43. Ke3 |
Presumably Ke3 is to break the pin on the f file. | ||||||||

43... Rf7 |
Black misses his last chance for activity with Ra8. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
44. Rh6 |
Not sure this achieves much - white just needs to advance his pawns. | ||||||||

44... Nb8 |
This doesn't achieve much. | ||||||||

45. Rd6 |
White wastes another move, just advancing with g2-g4 is better. | ||||||||
| 2 comments | |||||||||
|
45... Rg7 |
Black attacks. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
46. Kf3 |
White correctly protects with the king. g2-g4 would have been met with Rg7-h7 and the h pawn is dropping and black has chances again. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
46... Rf7 |
Perhaps hoping for a repetition. | ||||||||

At last! | ||||||||

47... Nd7 |
Knight comes back. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
48. e6 |
Only to be lost. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
48... Rf8 |
Better to lose the knight rather than the rook. | ||||||||
