15... Ba4 |
Attempting to induce more weaknesses in the queenside pawn structure. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. b3 Bd7 17. g4 a4 18. b4 Nb3+ |
Inviting White to capture the knight and a-pawn, when the a- or e-pawn drops and the a-file is opened for my rooks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Kb1 |
Keeping the queenside closed is White's best chance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Nd4 |
Offering the centralized knight to open the e-file. Dynamic play in the face of the oncoming attack was a must, but Fritz seems to think that it is a little too risky. There probably is compensation for the weak pawn on d4 after the exchange, but how much is a matter of debate. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20. Qd1 b5 |
Again attempting to create a breach. | ||||
| | |||||
|
21. g5 Ne8 22. h4 |
Here 22. Bxd4 ed 23. cb f5 24. gf Nxf6 is questionable for Black. White does have the extra pawn and seems he might be able to hold on to it. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... f5 |
A final attempt to open some lines for my pieces. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. gxf6 e.p. |
Accepted at last! | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Nxf6 24. Rg5 Nxe2 |
I dont want the light-squared bishop going to d3 and having White play f4. That plan looked like it would be a little to dangerous for my tastes. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Qxe2 Kh8 |
...Rf7 is stronger. | ||||

26. Rhg1 Rf7 27. h5 Rb8 |
Planning to take on c4 and play Bb5 if the pawn was recaptured. | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Nf3 Rbf8 |
Threatening ...Nxe4. | ||||

Preventing the loss of the pawn by guarding f5, however, I came up with an interesting idea. Better for White, and missed by both of us was 29. Nxe5! dxe5 30. h6! Rg8 31. Rxe5 Qf8 32. f4 and Black is in trouble! | ||||

29... Ng4 |
Forcing the trade of a rook and a pawn for two minors and getting freedom for my heavy pieces seems like good compensation. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Rg5xg4 Rf7xf2 |
An important intermezzo. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Qd1 |
Better is Qd3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Bxg4 32. Qxg4 |
The first big blunder by White. He missed 32. Rxg4 Rf1 can be met with 33. Be1, holding the game together. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... Rf2f4 33. Qg3 Rxh4 34. Bd2 Rxh5 35. Bg5 Rxg5 36. Qxg5 |
Here I just had to play 36...Qxg5 37. Rxg5 bc and the win was in the bag. However, I fell into my opponents rhythym of quick play and got a little too tricky for my own good. | ||||
| | |||||

36... Rf1+ |
