29... Kg6
|
Not a very bright move. I certainly have to bring the king closer, but the f file has to be dealt with first. |
 
|
| |
|
|
30. c3 Rgf8
|
Attaboy. Taking control of the open file, this is obviously the best and most solid move. |
|
| |
|
|
31. Rd2 Rf4f1+
|
Forcing another exchange |
|
| |
|
|
32. Rxf1 Rxf1+
|
Another step closer to victory |
|
| |
|
|
33. Kc2 Kf5
|
In the endgame, the king is an important weapon |
|
| |
|
|
34. Re2
|
He threatens Re5 , but it's not very bad for me |
|
| |
|
|
34... h5
|
Since I have a kingside majority, I'd better push those pawns |
|
| |
|
|
35. b4
|
Seeking counterplay on the queenside |
|
| |
|
|
35... h4
|
Keep on pushing the pawns |
|
| |
|
|
36. a4
|
Likewise |
|
| |
|
|
36... g4
|
Hmmm, advanced pawns in the endgame... |
|
| |
|
|
37. a5 g3
|
At this point, Fritz gives a - evaluation, meaning basically "a decisive advantage". I threaten Rf2, exchanging the last pair of rooks, and entering a won (really won) endgame |
|
| |
|
|
38. Kd2 Rf2
|
Ha! |
|
| |
|
|
39. Ke3 Rxe2+
|
Another step closer to the victory, I can smell it. Or perhaps I'm just tired |
|
| |
|
|
40. Kxe2 Ke4
|
A very solid place for my king, surveying both my kingside pawns and his vulnerable queenside ones |
|
| |
|
|
41. b5
|
This is a non-losing move, but these kind of moves are in short supply now for white. |
|
| |
|
|
41... b6
|
I don't want to move the king, it stands very well on e4 and we'll soon see why. |
|
| |
|
|
42. axb6 axb6
|
Well, he is in zugzwang now. If he quits guarding d3, my king will enter and pick up all his pawns |
|
| |
|
|
43. Kd2
|
The only move still guarding d3, but I have a neat move prepared (pretty obvious, actually, but still neat). Told you he was in zugzwang |
|
| |
|
|
43... h3
|
With promotion to follow in 2 moves, white resigned.
So, how do you win a "won game"? In this case, make fewer mistakes and be a bit more careful than the opponent. |
