33. hxg6 |
It's interesting to note that white is hitting g6 only twice now to black's four hits, but white has the initiative in this attack, so he strikes first. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
33... Rgxg6 |
Black had a difficult decision. Equalize or simply move his queen out of harms way. He chose to equalize, but 33...Qb7 had it's merits. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
34. Rg5xg6+ |
Critical decision for white - wholesale exchanges or passive style defense. White clears the board, and enters the endgame of K 6 vs. K B 3. | |||||||

34... Rxg6 35. Rxg6+ Qxg6 36. b4 |
Attempting to get outside connected passed pawns. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
36... Qg3 |
?! I REALLY counted on black capturing e.p. This move signal black's intent to force a draw by perpetual check. | |||||||

37. Qf2 |
Killing any ideas black may have had of a draw, and encouraging a queen exchange. White is playing for the win - king to c3 stopping the passer and pushing the a and b pawns. A little risky I know - but this was a team match and Southern Chess needed the full point. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
37... Qg4 |
Still keeping lines open to deliver check, and probably hoping to hunt the a pawn. | |||||||

38. Qc2 |
! Protecting the vulnerable d1 square, freezing the enemy queen to it's isolani, and covering a4. A very multi purpose move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
38... Kf7 |
The black king will be needed in an offensive role, so my opponent begins to centralize. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
39. a4 |
Of course. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
39... Ke6 40. b5 |
And the race is on. Black is forced on the defensive. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
40... Bh5 |
Interesting idea - black is attempting to come in through the back door and exchange queens. Then his king and bishop will be more readily available to stop my queenside advance. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
41. Kf2 |
I realize black's plan, and put a stop to any queen exchange. | |||||||

41... c3 |
Trying to sucker me away from the second rank to deliver check, and hopefully perpetual check. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
42. a5 |
No need to go pawn snatching - I see the importance of protecting the second rank. I simply push my passers. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
42... Kd6 |
Rushing to stop the enemy pawn advance. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
43. a6 |
The a pawn is my queen candidate. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
43... Qd1 |
?! The defining move - black is attempting to promote his c pawn via this proposed exchange. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
44. Qxc3 |
As black's c pawn was just a little too close to promotion, I take him out. Now the trick will be to weather the storm and evade black's attack. Luckily for me, I have my g pawn to maneuver around if need be, and if given ANY time at all me queen will easily return to the action to defend. It's going to be a good one! | |||||||

44... Qe2+ 45. Kg3 Qxb5 |
! Very nice! (45...Qg4 46. Kh2 Qh4 47. Kg1 fails to further threats because white controls the e1 square.) Black regains equality. | |||||||
