He takes back. Now if Bxe6 then 22. Ng5 attacking both my queen and bishop, forcing say Qc8 or Qe8 then 23. Nxe6 Qxe6 24. Bd5 and I am losing my queen, but I have a far better move. |

This, and his queen is tied to protecting f3. |

He protects his pawn. |

This looked good. My computer points out a fascinating variation here. 24. Qe6+ Kh8 25. Ng5 Bxg2 26. Qf7 Bg7 27. Ne6 Rg8 28. Nc7 Qe4 29. e8=Q Rxe8 30. Nxe8 Qb7 31. Nxd6 Qxf7 32. Nxf7+ Kg8 33. Kxg2 Kxf7 and white has a rook for bishop and two pawns - probably a drawing balance. For this reason, my computer doesn't like Bxb2 and prefers Kh8, Bf6 or e5.

His queen doesn't achieve much here, but it is getting hard for him now. |

So I just push. |

Rather a desperate king-side fling. |

And so does he. I would love to play Qd1 now, but he has 31. Qe6+ Kg7 32. Qf6+ Kg8 33. Qe6+ with a perpetual check and a draw. My computer now suggests the stunning moves Qe4! or Qe5! as the quickest ways of winning. |
