21. Na3 |
This again was a bit of a surprise - I am not sure whether it is better to lose the exchange or a couple of pawns with 21. Re1 allowing 21....Bxc4 followed by Bxd5. What do you think dear reader? | |||||||||

Rook retreats - I didn't fancy Ra6 where it may be hit with c4-c5 opening up a discovered attack from his Bf1. | |||||||||

24. Rb1 |
Attacking b7, although if he takes on their immediately I can take on a4. | |||||||||

24... Ne5 |
I threaten Nf3+ followed by Nd2 forking his Qb3 and rook b1. | |||||||||

26... Ne8 |
So I block that. I now have a plan to blockade his pawns on d5 and c4 so that his Bf1 remains with very limited scope. | |||||||||

27. Rc1 |
Perhaps preparing to advance his c pawn. | |||||||||

27... Rc5 |
So I block it. | |||||||||

28. Qb2 |
Attacking e5. | |||||||||

28... Qe7 |
Which is easily protected. | |||||||||

29. Rb1 |
Perhaps dreaming again of attacks down the b file. | |||||||||

29... b6 |
I want to secure things, fixing his pawns on white squares. | |||||||||

Not sure what he was planning. | |||||||||
