Inviting black to proceed with his kingside plan. The only winning chance, I believe, was to bring the king all the way round via the queenside to e2, and white could probably not have held. | |||||

White's plan now is to move the bishop between d6 and c7, keeping black's bishop tied to defending the pawn and of course the d8-h4 diagonal. If black moves the knight, the white king is free to move to h2, and if he moves the king, it is free to move to f2. | |||||

An interesting but flawed sacrifice. The flaw is that black's king will be blockaded on the h-file in front of its pawn, while the black bishop is powerless to dislodge the defenders. | |||||

51. Kxf3 Kxh3 52. Bd6 |
I believed the draw was secure (I originally annotated the position as drawn), and played this move intending to occupy the b7-g1 diagonal as soon as black advanced his king or pawn. After reading my annotations, my opponent suggested that the king retreat Kh4-g5 wins, and I now think he is right. This move was therefore a blunder; I should have played Be1, preventing the king retreat, and answering Bh4 with Bc3. Unfortunately (fortunately for me), at this point black timed out. | |||||
