|
I don't know the theory of this line of the QGD / exchange but I prefer Black since White's kingside weakness looks real. |
 
|
| |
|
|
12. Qc2
|
Black could grab a pawn by Nxg4, I didn't even consider it at the time. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Ne4 13. O-O
|
I prefer 0-0-0 castle at least then white could press a kingside attack without a expose king on that side. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Rxh3 14. Nxe4 dxe4 15. Qxe4+ Qe7 16. Qxe7+ Kxe7
|
Material is even but hard to tell who is better. |

17. Kg2 Rah8 18. Rfh1 Rh3xh1 19. Rxh1 Rxh1 20. Kxh1
|
White's rook trades have left his king farther away from the center in the endgame. |
|
| |
|
|
20... c5 21. a3 Be1 22. Kg2 cxd4 23. Nxd4 Bd2 24. Kf3
|
A mistake - trying to correct the placement of his worst piece but allows a pawn to fall. |
|
| |
|
|
24... Bc1 25. b3 Bxa3 26. Ke2 a6
|
A small step to limit the power of white's knight. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Bc7 Nf6
|
Strengthing the knight with gain of time. |
|
| |
|
|
28. f3 Nd5 29. Ba5 Bb4 30. Bxb4+ Nxb4
|
Black has reduce the endgame to Knights with a pawn up. |
|
| |
|
|
31. e4 Nc6 32. Nxc6+
|
Keeping the Knights on looks like a better way to gain drawing chances. |
|
| |
|
|
32... bxc6 33. Kd3 Kd6 34. f4 f6 35. b4 c5 36. Kc4 cxb4 37. Kxb4 g5
|
Black is clearly winning. |
