15. Re7 |
The only move of the game requiring no thinking at all. A rook on the 7th rank is the paradise of the chess player. | ||||

Here Rd7 was a little better, forcing white's hand, but not much can be done now to save black. | ||||

Rd1 was also possible, but I liked the possibilities of this move. | ||||

R(h)-f8 or Be6 were better. | ||||

The cherry on the sunday. | ||||

17... Rd7 |
But this makes it worse. White now wins a full rook. | ||||

The only small compensation is that white's knight is stranded in the corner, but with white's material advantage, it is to no avail. | ||||

20. Re1 Kd7 |
Illustrates a peculiar kind of mistake. Black's d7 pawn looks well protected here. | ||||
| | |||||

21. Bxc7 |
But it is not, since the king must remain protect his bishop. Of course here, black could now play Bxa2, but after d3 the bishop is in a net, the rook will come and capture it and the white knight is freed. So black rightfully gives up. | ||||
