Qxb5 is better now that Black's bishop's diagonal is clear. |

33. h4
|
The beginning of the end. Using the Point Count, White has a point for the bishop pair and another for the off-side majority ( 2 p.c.). Black has a point for the passed pawn, another because it is advanced and another for better king position ( 3 p.c.). This is just the static picture, however, as h4 causes White's king's knight pawn to become backward with... |

|
Black has a won game. White's sole pawn is backward (-1 p.c.) and Black's bishop and pawn on the a-file are invincible since neither White's king nor light bishop can touch them. Black is up 5 pawns ( 15 p.c.) putting Black more than 16 points in the lead. |
