White moved the queen down to f4 as white was not ready to check the king as there was not much support on hand to assist.

36. Re3
White moved his rook to e3 taking over the 'e' file but black's plan may be to block the e4 square with the 'c' knight which would join the knights up and it would be hard to remove the e4 knight without loss of material.

36... Bxa4
White's move allowed the capture of the pawn at a4 by black's LB.

 
37. Bxg4

37... Nxg4
Black recaptured the LB with his knight at f6 but white can check the king with the capture of this knight.

 
38. Qg5+
White did not capture the knight but did still check the king on g5 and once the king has moved can capture the knight quite safely.

 
38... Kh8
Black's king moves to h8 and any plans of the rook moving over to the 'h' file are ended.

 
39. Qxg4
White captures the knight at g4 with the queen.

 
39... a5
Black pushes his pawn to a5 and he has a pawn chain from c7 to a5. In total black has 5 pawns but the king's pawns are useless as they are not joined since the g pawn has now been captured. White only has 3 pawns and one of these is an isolated pawn at c4. The other 2 pawns are in front of the king still.

 
40. Re3e7
White now moves his rook up to e7 and has a pawn at c7 he could capture whilst the pawn at f7 is protected by the rook at f8.

40... Bc6
Black moves his LB to c6 and is on the diagonal to the h1 square.

 
41. Qd4+
White moves the queen to d4 and is taking control of 2 files, d and e. With this move it also checks the king at h8.

 
41... Kg8
Black moves his king over to g8.

White now captures the pawn at c7 and if the LB is left at c6 this may be captured.
