31. Qd4+ |
Tears the king out of his corner. Bye bye the hope of doubling on the g file with ...Rg8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
31... Kg8 32. Bg2 |
Attacks the pawn on e4, the Bd5 (indirectly), protects the kings position and finally this is the best diagonal for white's Bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
32... Rb8 |
I want to bring my king in the game which is impossible with the rook on f8, because after 32. ...Kf7, 33. Rf1 and the exchange of the rooks, I guess the passed pawn would win the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||

33. b6 |
Which is still on his way anyway. | ||||||

33... Kf7 |
The only piece I have to make my position stronger. Dangerous, because my king gets exposed. But at least one piece more. | ||||||

very well centralized isn't it? | ||||||

36. Qb2+ |
Not for very long. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36... Ke6 |
This is the only move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Qd4 |
Now white has centralized his queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37... h5 |
I was hoping for white to grab the e pawn with 38. Bxe4, after which black can play ...Qxf3 , 39. Kh1 Qh4 winning the bishop with 40. Kg1 Bxe4. But of couse Larry is too clever. Still, the h pawn moving up might be a threat for the white's king position later on. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38. Bh3+ |
Larry has his own attack in mind. One should always look out for possible checks that the opposant has in hand. I had totally missed this one. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
38... Ke7 |
The only move if I don't want to loose my queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39. Qc3 |
Simply threatening Qc7 , winning black's rook and, I guess, mating soon afterwards. | ||||||

39... Rb7 |
What else could I do? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40. Bc8 |
Now the rook has no place to go and white seems to have won the game, but... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40... e3 |
this move threatens Qxg3 (the pawn is no longer protected by the queen), it also opens the diagonal for black's Bishop (finally! and only because white's bishop has given up this diagonal for the purpose of his own attack). And of course: threatens mate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
41. Qe1 |
Protects pawn g3, but now black can take the pawn on b6, which once was white's greatest pride. | ||||||

41... Rxb6 |
At this moment I thought: Ok, not only I am 2 pawns up, but also one of them has reached the third rank, white's king is still in danger and I have all my time to advance my pawns. I had not at all foreseen Larry's next move: | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
42. Rf5 |
the rook is protected by the bishop on c8. After chasing the queen he threatens to win the bishop, and if black defends with 42. ...Qg8, white can take the pawn on e3 with check keeping his own pawn protected and threatening to take black's rook on b6. So after 43. Qxe3 Be6, black still might have an advantage, but is only 1 pawn up. But black has a better solution: | ||||||
