21. cxd5 |
Stockfish prefer the knight capture but Fritz prefers this pawn capture. If he had taken with the knight I was planning Bd7xa5 | ||||||||

22. Ra1 |
Again the machines differ. Fritz agrees that Ra1 is best but Stockfish suggests Be3. Here I looked at 22....Nc2, 22....Nxd5 and the move I played. The computers tell me I should have played 22....Re8 | ||||||||

22... Bd3 |
I played this, forcing his hand, if he to avoid losing the exchange. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
23. Qe6+ |
Looks aggressive, but in fact the queen is vulnerable here. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
23... Kh8 |
King runs into the corner. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
24. Rf2 |
I was expecting Rd1 which is better. The computers tell me that White loses his advantage with this move. | ||||||||

24... Re8 |
Again the computers are divided over this move. Stockfish likes it, but Fritz suggest Nc2, Bf5 or Rf6 | ||||||||

25. Ng5 |
Interesting, but Qg4 was better. He is now threatening mate in 4 https://gameknot.com/chess-puzzle.pl?pz=300660 | ||||||||

25... Rxe6 |
This is virtually forced, and black has an advantage now. | ||||||||

26. Nf7+ |
He forks king and queen. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
26... Kg8 |
Forced! | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
27. Nxd8 |
Queen goes. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
27... Re1 |
But now my Re1 ties up his Bc1 and Ra1 | ||||||||

28. Ne6 |
His knight was en prise and this was the only square for it. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
28... Nc2 |
28....Bd4! was even stronger. | ||||||||

29. Rxc2 |
Stockfish shows that amazingly 29. Rb1 is just about playable, for instance 29....Nd4 30. Nxc5 Bxb1 31. Bd2! with equality. I don't think either of us saw this at the board. He takes my knight. | ||||||||

29... Bxc2 |
I take back. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
30. g4 |
He hits my knight. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
30... Nf6 |
Knight retreats. | ||||||||
