Off book. I move this pawn to block Ng4, which is not threatened here. Otherwise it is better to focus on controlling the center and clearing the back row. |

This guy s the second time black has moved that knight to a7, neither of which was good. Though black didn’t have much choice on move 11. |

Although using two moves to prevent en passant, letting white play e.p. might have been advantageous. |

Probably better to play Re1 and let black take the h pawn. |
|

28... e3 29. fxe3

Ra2 would have been better than letting that rook focus on the h pawn. |

29... Rxe3 30. Rf3 Rbe7 31. Rxe3
|
Or better, maybe, Ra2. |

31... Rxe3 32. Qf1

The queen withdraws protection from the bishop. On the other hand, black would be ripping holes in white’s defenses.

That is a blunder, mate in 11. Rxh3+, Kg1, Rh1+ yields up white’s far rook…. Brutal.

Odd. Qxh2+ is also mate in 11, but this lets white squeak by.

Yes. I played Jana a couple of times about ten years back.
