32... h6 |
And this pawn gets to his intended destination. As a side benefit, this pawn prevents g5, as the exchange on that square would leave my e-pawn passed. | ||||||||

I flirted with the idea of pushing past and creating a passer right now, but decided that trading was better in the long run. With the trade, the h-pawn becomes passed. | ||||||||

33... exf5 34. gxf5 Nd7 |
And with the e4 square no longer available, it is pretty easy to see the knight has to go to d7. Now I am very close to achieving the goal of getting all my pawns on dark squares, after which my king can start to hunt targets. | ||||||||

Blockading the passed h-pawn and attacking the undefended f-pawn, but I was planning to move it next anyway. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35... f6 |
The kingside pawns are safe, my king has an entry square at e5 to invade the enemy position, and the queenside pawns are very close to being set up also. I am feeling very confident about my chances for the full point. | ||||||||

And he finally brings his king toward the center, but it is too little, too late. | ||||||||

36... c5 |
If he takes on c5, I will recapture with the knight to menace the a-pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37. b5 |
But he decides to push and lock the pawns up. That is fine with me too. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37... Ke5 |
And my king goes hunting undefended targets. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38. Bg6 |
Losing the f-pawn is unacceptable for white. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38... Kd4 |
Another undefended target. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39. Bf7 |
White tries to hold the position together. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
39... Ne5 |
But this move decides the game, as it wins white's c-pawn, which creates a passed c-pawn for black. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. Bg8 |
Getting out of the way of the knight while maintaining protection of the c-pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40... Nxc4 |
Winning the c-pawn, and the game. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
41. Bxc4 |
Whether white takes the knight or not, the game is decided. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
41... Kxc4 42. Kg3 |
The white king can't stop both the passed h- and c-pawns. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
42... Kd5 |
Getting out of the way of the passer, and preparing to go to e5 if necessary to protect the f6-pawn. | ||||||||

43. Kh4 |
Blockading the h-pawn, but getting out of the "square of the pawn" that would allow the white king to stop the c-pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
43... c4 |
As Bobby Fischer said, "Passed pawns must be pushed." | ||||||||
