21... b6 |
But it is easily met. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22. Rf1 |
White appears to be just shuffling his rooks around without any strategic plan. | |||||||

22... Nb8 |
Presumably with the plan of Nb8-c6-b4. | |||||||

25. Bf4 |
This seems like a strategic error by white to exchange off his good bishop in exchange of black's bad bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25... Bxf4 |
So black takes. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Rxf4 |
White takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... Rae8 |
Steve says "I was happy now as I felt that I have all the chances to win as long as I am careful". | |||||||

27. Ra1 |
This rook starts returning to a more useful square. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... Bxf5 |
Another exchange. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. Rxf5 |
Steve says "Maybe Knight is a fair bit stronger...not pawn takes though due to potential tactical shots!" Pawn takes of course loses white two minor pieces for a rook. It doesn't make much difference whether white recpatures with rook or knight as black is playing g6 next move whatever, driving the piece back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28... g6 |
Like this. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29. Rf4 |
And the rook drops back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
29... Kg7 |
King repositions to counter any threats white may develop along the semi open f file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30. Raf1 |
The other rook comes across. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... Ne5 |
Steve says "Much better than Nb4 I thought." yes it is, the knight takes up a dominating post in the centre of the board. | |||||||
