26... Nb6 27. Rhg1 Rf8 |
Continuing with my plan, but I'm expecting Baron to play f6. Exchange of pawns, my King's exposed, not good. | |||||

28. a4 |
Return the knight to d7, and then start advancing my queenside pawns? | |||||

|
28... Nd7 |
The knight does provide added protection to my isolated e pawn though. | |||||

I'm seriously thinking about sacrificing a piece here, the knight, if it eases the pressure on my King. For example, 29... Nf6. 30. gxf6 Rxf6. This could win White's f pawn for me as well, so I'd be a pawn ahead, with a Kingside pawn majority, and closer to the end game. But what are my opponent's options? If he decides to advance his pawn rather than take my knight, that suits me too, as I can exchange my knight for his bishop and retain my piece advantage. I'll go for it. | |||||

29... Nf6 |
Awaiting Baron's response…in hindsight, a better move may have been b6, but I was worried about the way my opponent's pawns were storming my already weakened King side defence. | |||||

30. gxf6 Rxf6 31. Rgf1 Bxf5 |
I win the pawn, but how do I respond to Bxe5? Will the resulting exchanges be favourable for me? | |||||

32. Bd5+ Be6 33. Be4 Bf5 |
I notice the chance for the stalemate, and go for it. I apologise for the anticlimax. My endgame is my weakest point, it would have been good practice to continue, on the other hand, I was under a lot of pressure for a very long period, and was relieved with the draw. | |||||

34. Bd5+ Be6 35. Be4 Bf5 |
Draw, we share the points. I had an extra pawn, with a kingside pawn advantage, but I was under pressure from my opponent from a very early stage, and was relieved to get the 1/2. | |||||
