21... Nb6
He adds to the pressure on c4. Fritz likes this move.

 
22. cxb5
This seemed best to me, although Fritz prefers c2-c3.

22... axb5
He takes back.

 
23. Kd2
I'm trying to reach safety on c2. Of course I can't take on b5 as 23. Nxb5? Ba6 24. a4 Nxa4! wins for black. Fritz prefers h4.

25... Ba6
This seems to be a mistake, it allows an unpleasant fork. Fritz prefers Bd7.

 
26. Nc7
This seemed a natural fork, although Fritz prefers a2-a4.

26... Qh3
Qh3 was played after a long think. I must admit I hadn't seen this move, and I have to be very careful now.

27. Raf1
This seemed natural to me, although Fritz prefers Ra-e1.

27... Nxe4
Fritz prefers Na3+ - a move my team mate Peter Lovatt was claiming probably draws. I think he may be right. I think this loses.

28. Bxe4
So I just take the knight.

 
28... Ne3+
He throws in the check.

 
29. Kb1
I decide to run my king to safety. Fritz prefers just Qxe3.

29... Nxf1
He takes my rook.

 
30. Nxa8
So I take his - Fritz doesn't like this move!

30... Bd3+
He throws in a check.

 
31. Ka1
I simply ignore it. Fritz likes this move. Now white is threatening mate on d8, and white is a whole rook down. If f6 I was intending Qg2. Black resigned. I get the feeling neither of us really understood what was going on, given how rarely we picked what Fritz considers to be the best move! Many thanks for reading, please leave a comment or two and rate it on the star system.
