This move made no sense to me. He wanted to save his Bishop for a potential King side attack along with the Queen. I knew that I had time to get the pawns in front of my King into position where my Queen could cover the H pawn. |

I knew he would not sac his Queen for the pawn so I would tie up White with the pawn exchange. Now I had my open D file for my rooks with the Queen right in the middle. If nothing else I would gain some tempos with the Rooks against the Queen. |

It was a matter of taste which Rook to move first. I wanted to the A file Rook to cover that file till I was ready. |

Even if White moved his C pawn I would have both of my Rooks on this file first. I still controlled the center which turned out to be a long term plus. |

Attacking the unprotected pawn. However, I had the resource in place to protect with my doubled pawn. One of the few times a doubled pawn could be some benefit. |

Now White is thinking about the skewer against my King. Instead of allowing the exchange to happen on e6, I would move it back f7. But first I would have to deal with the attack on my Rook. |

I am still eyeballing the G pawn. This move was to gain a tempo and allow for both of my Rooks to come into Whites camp with them lining up against White's kingside. |

Now the pieces are in place to attack the kingside. All I would have to do now is to move my E pawn. |

Giving himself a little breathing room for his King. I would also be a bluff of an attack against the center. Had White an extra tempo he could have played c3 but the pin prevented that. |

Now the pieces are properly positioned. Time for the attack. |

Yet another Bishop move. Good idea. Just a little too late. |

Attack with a gain of material. It also lined up the King in the perfect position for the Rook on my next move. |

Here White resigned in light of the mate on next move following 34. fxg3 Qg2 . |
