He removes the pawn from g2, but weakens his h3 pawn. |

I attack g3, e3 and d4, although the only one not protected is e3. |

I take back hitting h3. He has problems here. Kg2 means his king is very passive, while my king can just walk into the queen side and win. H3-h4 leaves his king side pawns weak and perhaps vulnerable to my king. He decides to give up a pawn, which may be his best plan. |

44. Ke1

Instead he goes after my pawn. |

44... Bxh3

So I take, leveling the material. |

This is a mistake. If Ke5? he at least draws with Nf3+. The big question is, would 49. Ke7 win for black? PGCA gives Ke7 50. b5 axb5 51. axb5 Kd7 52. Kc1 Kc7 53. Kb2 Kb6 54. Kc1 Be4 55. Nh3 Bg6 56. Nf2 Kxb5 57. e4 h3 58. Kxc2 h2 as best for both sides. After 58. Kxc2 we have a total of 6 pieces left which can be analysed perfectly using the endgame database, and it tells me that the position is drawn, it is still draws, unless there is an improvement in that line somewhere? |
