38... Rg3 39. d6 |
forcing the king to move | |||||

|
39... Ke6 40. Re4e3 h4 41. Kc2 |
at this point it would seem pretty drawish. white has a clear advantage but it is by no means easy to win from this position | |||||

|
41... Rf4 |
black must play correctly | |||||
| | ||||||
|
42. Rc3 |
so must white to maintain | |||||

42... c4 43. Rd2 Rf8 |
a good move played at the right time | |||||

44. b3 Kxe5 45. bxc4 bxc4 46. Rxc4 |
now black will be in trouble | |||||

46... Rd8 47. d7 Rg7 48. Rcd4 Rg2 49. Kb3 |
i can already see the win from here. after the exchange of the rooks i will be able to have both ends of the board with black only able to get one of them. the win is roughly 20 moves away | |||||

49... Rxd2 50. Rxd2 Ke6 51. Kb4 |
the white pawn is lost, not that i mind | |||||

51... Rxd7 52. Rxd7 Kxd7 53. Ka5 Kd6 54. Kxa6 |
this is what i looked for a while back. many people would consider this a draw but study carfeully and white should win | |||||

54... Kc6 55. a3 Kc7 56. Kb5 Kb7 57. Kc4 Kb6 58. Kd5 Kb5 59. Ke4 |
all logic, after 59. ...,Ka4 60. Kf4,Kxa3 61.Kg4 will win the game, i saw this position after move 59 and was very happy with the win against a great player. take this as a clear example of how to win drawish games. | |||||
