22. cxb7 |
So I take the pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22... Nxb7 |
He takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23. exf5 |
And I get a second extra pawn. However with best play, black can get a pawn back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
23... Qf6 |
He keeps his queen active. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24. Be4 |
I pin his knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... Rb8 |
He protects it. I am surprised that at the moment, Fritz is giving a small advantage to white. I am not sure that Fritz really understands that with the open board his queen is boss, and I am going to struggle to tame her. | |||||||

25. Reb1 |
This seems normal to me, pinning the knight again, but Fritz prefers Bd5+ or Nf3. Certainly I considered Bd5+ | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25... Qd4+ |
This is the only way to save his knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Rf2 |
And this the only way to save my knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Qa7 |
And now his queen drops back, and I have a long think. What would you play here? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. Rxb7 |
Fritz gives 27. Bd5+ or 27. Nf3 with a microscopic edge (0.03) to white. I knew that queens and knights can sometimes work very well together, and I was confident of drawing the ending of knight, rook and pawn v queen, so I decided to take his knight and rook off, as my king is slightly exposed. | |||||||

27... Rxb7 |
He takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Bxb7 |
I take again. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28... Qxb7 |
He recaptures. What would you play now? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29. Kf1 |
This is what I played, although Fritz prefers 29. Rf3 or g4, both with advantage to black. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29... Qa7 |
This is a mistake. I saw before making move 27 that 29. Qb2 won a pawn, but I thought I could still hold that. (Fritz give black as 1.15 up after Qb2!). Fritz also prefers 29. d5 with black now up 0.75 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30. Rf3 |
Best move for white according to Fritz - but black still 0.55 up | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... Qd4 |
Although this seems like logical centralisation, Fritz prefers 30. Qa5(black up 0.55) or h5 (black up 0.46) | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
31. Ke2 |
Fritz likes this move, but black still up 0.45 | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
31... Kf7 |
One king move deserves another! (Perhaps an echo of his copied rook move on move 13). Fritz prefers 31. h5 (black plus 0.46) or Qc5 (black up 0.38) | |||||||
