34. Rh1 Ng4 35. c4 dxc4 36. bxc4
36. bxc4 (the dreaded knight incursion has taken place. It doubly defends his passer on e3 - so I try and make a bid for freedom on the queenside by exchanging pawns - unfortunately it later leads to my detriment)

 
36... Ba3 37. Rc3 Bb4 38. Rc2 Re4 39. d5 Qc7
39. ......... Qc7 double attack on my c pawn (nasty thing!)

 
40. Nb2 Nf2 41. Rh2 Ba3 42. Qf3
42. Qf3 (I try to complicate things (if 42. ......Rxc4 then Qxe3 threatening his knight on f2 and 43. Qe8 ) but .....

 
42... Rb6 43. Nc3
43. Nc3 (in response to this rook move I try to complicate things by attacking his e4 rook, unfortunately this does not work)

43... Rxb2 44. Nxe4 Rxc2 45. Nxf2 Qxc4+
45. ............ Qxc4 (after this move my position well and truly falls apart and two moves later after a vicious bishop/rook cross pin I wave the white flag). At least this game has lasted longer than the other completed games, that is all I can say.
