33. bxc5

So he takes. |

|
| |
|
|
33... bxc5
|
I take back. |

|
| |
|
|
34. Rxe6
|
He takes. |

|
| |
|
|
34... fxe6
|
I take back. I should be able to draw this, although white has slight advantages, in the my queen side pawns are fixed on black squares, and my e pawn is isolated. However, at present it stops his king from reaching d5. |

35. g4

This is a good move, giving his bishop more room, and gaining space on the king side. |

|
| |
|
|
35... Be7
|
I reposition my bishop to attack his pawn on f4. |

|
| |
|
|
36. Kg2
|
He moves his king up. |

|
| |
|
|
36... Bd6
|
I attack his pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
37. Kf3
|
He defends it. |

|
| |
|
|
37... Kf7
|
I move my king up. |

|
| |
|
|
38. h3
|
He gets his h pawn off the h2-b8 diagonal, where it may be vulnerable to my bishop on d6. |

|
| |
|
|
38... h6
|
I want to play Kf7-f6 and be able to meet Bh4+ with g6-g5. |

40. Bg3

Leaving me rather short of moves. Nicely played by him! |

|
| |
|
|
40... Bc7
|
So I retreat my bishop. |

|
| |
|
|
41. Bh4+
|
He throws in a check. Computer prefers 41. g5+ |

|
| |
|
|
41... g5
|
Computer doesn't like this move and prefers Kf7. |

|

|
|
