|
Here is the King on g7.
Egold hasn't made many mistakes so far. His plan to pressure on a6 is good. |
 
|
| |
|
|
23. Re7
|
but his heart balanced between a6 and f7... |
|
| |
|
|
23... Rhf8 24. Rdd7
|
expected
|
|
| |
|
|
24... Rae8 25. Kb2 Kf6 26. Rxe8 Rxe8 27. Rd6+
|
egold has still the good move.
Variation was (27. Kb3 Re2 28.h3 Re4 29.Rd6 Re6 30.Rxe6 fxe6 ...balcks win as f pawn'd fall) |
|
| |
|
|
27... Re6
|
I prefered to offer a honest opposition and a draw. |
|
| |
|
|
28. Rd2
|
for the first time of the game egold pulls back, leaves the center and will be less sharp in the next moves. |
|
| |
|
|
28... Re4
|
28. Kf5 is ok too and will threat f4 to get tempo on k's side.
I must say that I used to play blitz and I expected 29.Rd6 ... I'd have answered 29... Re6...etc. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Rf2
|
! surprising bad defensive move at this stage of the end game.
I still don't know why I didn't take f4. I guess I was afraid of my weak queen's side. Also I just noticed that his king his trapped and can not escape. (30.a4! Rxa4 ... / 30. c4! Rxc4 ...) so I decided to keep my rook and planned f7-f5... |
|
| |
|
|
29... Kf5 30. Kb3
|
Kb3! useless nevertheless it warns me that if I want to exchange, egold will rush on a b pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
30... Kg4 31. a3 f5 32. Rg2+
|
I had an advantage with the f pawn an active king even if egold destroys my background: a6, g6 and possibly h6 |
|
| |
|
|
32... Kxf4
|
f passed-pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
33. Rxg6 Ke3 34. Rxa6
|
egold goes for a-pawn while f-pawn has a motorway in sight.
other line:
34. Rg3 Ke2 35.Rg2 Kf1 36.Rd2 f4 37.Rd4 Rxd4 38.cxd3 f3 39.d5 f2 40.d6 Ke1 41.d7 f1=Q 42.d8=Q demonstrates that the game was tight. |
|
| |
|
|
34... f4 35. Rxh6
|
h is down aswell and f has still a long way to go. Here we must thank the tools offered by gameknot to analyse out games because I did analyse this position to avoid miscalculations. |
|
| |
|
|
35... f3
|
36. Rh3 won't help because 36 ... Ke2 etc 0-1.
egold was too hungry. We know that his rook has to be sacked soon. |
|
| |
|
|
36. Rf6
|
notice: h4 is still not impossible (but a4 and c4 playable).
My Rook keeps the white king in safety. I can not stop thinking about the so called cold war and dissuasion (This rook on e4 would not move anymore)... I was lucky because 28... Re4 was only supposed to threat f4.
|
|
| |
|
|
36... f2 37. h3
|
whites should have abandoned. |
|
| |
|
|
37... Ke2 38. c4 bxc4+
|
(if 38. ... Rxc4 39.Re6 Kf3 40. Rf6 Rf4)
0-1. |
|
| |
|
|
39. Kb4
|
King has finally a path but that's too late for whites.
I will have to stop a and h pawns meanwhile to protect my c pawn,to attack c2. |
|
| |
|
|
39... f1=Q 40. Rxf1
|
forced |
|
| |
|
|
40... Kxf1 41. a4
|
black's plan:to bring the king to d2 asap.
white's plan: to try to bring a pawn and take back's c pawn. |
