23. Ng3 |
(Attacking the Queen.) | ||||
| | |||||
|
23... Qg5 24. Nce4 Nxe4 25. Nxe4 Qe5 26. Qb3 |
By now it has become clear that White controls the light squares, while black has more options on the dark squares. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26... Bg7 |
For the second time black aims at pawn b2. | ||||
| | |||||
|
27. Nc3 |
(Again the Queen is under attack.) | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Qf5 28. Rxe8+ Rxe8 29. Ne2 |
White has to be aware of the move ...Qe5. For instance, if white plays 29.Nb5?, black can win with 29...Qe5! ( Threatening 30...Qh2 and 31...Qh1 mate, but also 30...Qxb2. ) | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Qe5 |
(Still a strong move.) | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Nc3 Bh6 |
Alex could have gone for the draw; 30...Qh2 (threatening ..Qh1 mate) 31.Ne2 Qe5 32.Nc3 Qh2 etc., but he probably felt he had more winning chances, since the white King is more exposed to attacks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Qb5 |
Notice how the white king cannot be checked, since both the black queen and the black bishop are on dark squares. | ||||
| | |||||
|
31... Qe7 |
? | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. d6 |
A pawn sacrifice that leads to a nice combination! | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... cxd6 |
Not so many options here. | ||||
| | |||||
|
33. Nd5 |
! | ||||
| | |||||
|
33... Qe5 34. Nf6+ |
! | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... Qxf6 35. Qxe8+ Kg7 36. Rb1 Qf5 |
Black is trying to gain some space on the light squares and (for the first time) looking at a possible check on d3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
37. Rd1 Bf4 38. Qe7 Qb5+ |
Finally, black checks the white king, but by now there really isn't any threat anymore. | ||||
| | |||||
|
39. Qe2 |
! | ||||
| | |||||
|
39... Qxe2+ 40. Kxe2 Kf6 |
The black king hurries to defend the pawn on d6. | ||||
| | |||||
|
41. g3 Be5 42. f4 Bxb2 43. Rxd6+ Ke7 44. Rd3 |
! Now black is lost, since his king can't defend the Queen side. The rest of the game is not important, but I'll post the moves anyway.. | ||||
| | |||||
|
44... Ke6 45. Kd2 Bf6 46. Kc2 h5 47. h4 a6 48. Kb3 b5 49. Kb4 Kf5 50. Ka5 Bg7 51. Kxa6 b4 52. Kb5 Bf8 53. Rb3 |
And black finally resigned. Hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did... | ||||
