22... a6 23. Nd5 Qb7 |
Oh, Qb8 yes, Qb7 no. White gets the bishop for free, because KxNf6, QxQb7. Black either moves the queen to cover the rook, or trades queens down the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Qf4 |
White blunders. Bxb2+, Kd2 blocks the rooks protection f the knight, so Qxd5+, followed by Qxe6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Rf8 |
Black is thinking Bxb2+ exposes white’s queen, but white sees through this transparent ruse. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Qg3 |
White should still have played Nxf6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Re8 |
Black sadly again ignores seizing the b pawn and knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. Nf4 Qxb2+ |
Doesn’t win the now safe knight, but at this point better than using the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Kd2 Qd4+ 28. Ke1 Qe4+ 29. Kf1 |
White should probably have interposed the queen instead. | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Kh6 30. c3 Be5 31. Qxg6+ |
White drops the knight and e pawn, but this was probably white’s best play. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Qxg6 32. Nxg6 Kxg6 33. c4 Rxe6 34. Re1 |
Maybe g3 instead? | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... Rf6 35. c5 |
Oops. This loses the pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
35... Bd4 |
If white plays cxd6 black ends with: 36. cxd6 Rxf2+ 37. Kg1 Rf3-8+ (anywhere but f1) 38. Re3 Bxe3#. | ||||
| | |||||
|
36. cxd6 |
OMG! | ||||
| | |||||
|
36... cxd6 |
BLUNDER! | ||||
