21. Kb1 |
At the time I was proud of this move - calmly moving the king to a safer square before proceeding. I figures after 21. Nd6+ Kf8 he would be threatening to free his position with c6-c5. Fritz actually gives Rg1 as the best move, and Nd6+ as the second best move. | |||||||

21... Nc8 |
He stops my knight coming in, but it is amazingly passive. Fritz prefers Kf8 or Nd5. | |||||||

22. Nfd2 |
I was quite proud of this move too - threatening to play Nd2-c4-d6 and also protecting the h3 pawn with my Rd3. Fritz still prefers Rg1 - although Nfd2 is given as the second best move initially, although given a few minutes to think, Fritz changes to 22. Re3 as the second best move. | |||||||

Played to stop Nd2-c4, but it makes his bishop even worse. Fritz prefers Kf8 or f5. | |||||||

23. Rg1 |
Fritz like this move and puts white at +1.8 now. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Kf8 |
This move seemed natural to me, although Fritz prefers g6 or Qf8. | |||||||

24. Rdg3 |
Fritz gives this as the best move and gives the advantage to white as plus 2.7 Now Rg8? or Rh7? are both met with Nf6! his next move is virtually forced. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... g6 |
But now f6 is horribly weak too. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. Qf3 |
Moving the queen over and threatening Rxg6. Fritz prefers h4. | |||||||

25... Kg7 |
At the time, this seemed the natural move to me, but Fritz prefers Ke8 or Qh4. Fritz now likes 26. h4 still, or Nf6, but I chose another move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Ng5 |
With the idea of 27. Nxf7 Qxf7 28. Rxg6 Qxg6 29. Qf6 winning. | |||||||

26... Be8 |
But he doesn't allow that. Fritz thinks this is the best move for black. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. Nde4 |
Fritz likes this move, but still prefers 27. h4 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... Rh4 |
So he tries to block 28. h4 Fritz also likes Rd7 or Nb6 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Rg3g4 |
I offer and exchange - why not exchange off defending pieces? Fritz gives this as the second best move and prefers Nf6. | |||||||

28... Rh6 |
Given as the best move for black, with Rh8 given as second best. He certainly can't afford to exchange on g4. I take back with the h pawn and sail in down the h file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29. Qf4 |
Fritz thinks this move is best! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29... Nb6 |
It is getting very hard for black! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30. Rh4 |
With the threat of Nxe6 followed by Qxh6 mating. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... Rxh4 |
This is virtually forced. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
