He protects it again. Ok, stop, and find white's next move. |

Did you find it? This stamps out all black's counter-play. Fritz gives this position as plus 3.55 to white now. |

He now takes - the threats of Nf6+ as well as the threat to his knight are too great. But which way would you recapture on d3 - with queen or rook and why? |

25. Qxd3
|
Fritz prefers this - moving the queen into a nice centralised role. |

|

25... Bb7

At the time, I thought this was a mistake, allowing my next. However Fritz seems to like this move. |

Now the isolated queen's pawn is completely blockaded by the ideal blocking piece, a knight. Black has no compensation for the exchange. |

Black tries to do something on the king-side. |

I just take it, although Fritz prefers 27. Qxb5 or 27. Rac1 with over plus 4 to white. |

|
| |
|
|
27... Bxd4
|
Necessary, if 27.... Nf7 immediately then I have 28. e6! forking queen and knight. |

|
| |
|
|
28. Qxd4
|
So I take back. |

|
| |
|
|
28... Nf7
|
Now he retreats the knight. |

|

Still trying to do something on the king-side. |
