21... Nb7 22. Na4
|
Now look at the position. White is attacking with 4 pieces, which is usually not enough if black has all these pieces in the area. However, the pawn cover is down, and the threats being generated are very strong. |

|
|
22... Nd6 23. Rxd6 Bxb5 24. Rxe6 Qc7
|
Now I find a simple way to simplify into a won endgame. |

|

|
|
25. Re7
|
*Now for the solution to the question on move 20: 20...axb5?
21.Nxb5 Na6 22.Nd6+ Kc7 23.f6! 23...Rxf6 24.Ne8++ when white wins a lot of material |

|
| |
|
|
25... Rd7 26. Re8+ Rxe8 27. Qxe8+ Kb7 28. Qe4+ Kc8 29. Nc3
|
The position is now crystal clear. White is 3 pawns up, and black's weak king gives him a lot of headaches. |

|
| |
|
|
29... Bc6 30. Qe3 gxf5 31. gxf5 Bxf3 32. Qxf3 Nc6 33. Re6
|
I still have a nice initiative, and I use it to make more threats to the enemy. |

|
| |
|
|
33... Rd6 34. Rxd6 Qxd6 35. f6
|
my short term plan is to simply create a sort of "2nd weakness. The passed f pawn is a dangerous threat which must be stopped, but black needs to safeguard his king as well. |

|
| |
|
|
35... Ne5 36. Qa8+ Kd7 37. Qa7+
|
Just as I said, the black king is very exposed. |

|
| |
|
|
37... Ke6 38. Qxh7 Kxf6
|
Losing the queen, but white would have won easily anyways. |

|
| |
|
|
39. Ne4+
|
black resigns. One of the best games I have played. |
