This! I am now threatening to take twice on d3 to win a pawn, and reach a won pawn ending. So his knight is rather forced to one of my pawns, but then I take his h7 pawn and my h pawn is really dangerous - an outside passed pawn, just what I need to win this. I think black's position is lost now. | ||||||||

I take that one. His problem is that it is hard for him to advance his queen-side pawns quickly, while my king-side pawns are free to move. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32... b4 |
He tries this. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33. h5 |
I advance the outside pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33... a4 |
He advances again. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34. h6 |
So do I. | ||||||||

34... Ke7 |
His king hurries back to defend. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||

35. g5 |
I advance again. | ||||||||

So does he. | ||||||||

I take back. | ||||||||

37... Kf7 |
His king comes across to stop my advances. | ||||||||

Now if he exchanges on c4, he has a lost pawn ending, so... | ||||||||

But this is very strong. Again the pawn ending is lost if he exchanges on d3. | ||||||||

This is more or less forced. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. g6+ |
But now I have two protected passed pawns. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40... Kg8 |
His positional is resignable. | ||||||||
