28. Bb6 Rxf4
One of the two crippled f-pawns finally falls.

 
29. Ne2 Rfc4 30. Rd2 Rc8c6 31. b3
Although the rook has nowhere to go on the c-file it can transfer itself along the rank.

 
31... Rh4
There is now a double attack. One rook attacks the pawn on h2, while the other attacks the bishop on b6.

 
32. Rf2
White protects the wrong one.

 
32... Rxb6
0-1 White resigns. This game featured an attempt to establish a strong pawn center by white. Black attacked it and fixed the pawns on dark squares. Black then used the light squares c6 and f5 to attack the weak pawn on d4. White tried to reduce the pressure with 10. Bxf5, but this left him vulnerable on the light squares. Black continued to pressure d4 until he was able to win it. He then consolidated and developed often at white's expense. He then used the open cifile to penetrate white's terriitory along yet another light square (c4). White's remianing kingside pawns where crippled and unlimately had to fall. If you're pawns are on dark squares keep your light square bishop. And vice-versa.
