15... Rxf7

I am not sure why. My old notes says that: "This is based on playing by intuition and possibly doubling rooks after moving e-pawn. Rook can jump to affect queenside after e-pawn is moved and keeps doubling as possibility. Just in case, which most likely doesn't happen, rook keeps f-file in control so no tempo is lost from moving king out of the way. If something happens then white can't do any nasty checks either." But seriously, is this really that much better than just taking with king. Well, maybe I should trust my younger intuition! |

16. Qd3 Qb4

This is actually really nice tactical play as white ends up trading his queen for knight. |

17. Rd2

Protecting the pawn. 17.a4 will be met with 17...Rc8.

17... b2

After 17...bxa2+ white is safe if 18. Kxa2 Qa3+ 19.Kb1 Qb3+ 20.Kc1 Rx8 21.Rc2 and white has his king in better safety. Now threatening mate with ...Na3.

18. Nd1 Na3+ 19. Qxa3 Qxa3
|
White had to exchange his queen and now he seems to be going down.

20. Nd4

White can't just wait and do nothing for example: 20.g4 Rc8! wins for black and after 20.Rc2 Nxe4! 21.fxe4 Qd3 black is winning. So this is reasonable move protecting squares around white king, opening the line for light-squared bishop and moving knight to better square.

20... a6

?! Here I missed the strongest move due tactical blindness(I am usually strong with tactics), 20...Nxe4! 21.fxe4 Bxd4 22.Bxd4 Rc8 23.Nxb2 e5 would be the best.

21. b6

Understandable, white doesn't want to open the a-file.
|
|
| |
|
|
21... Nd7
|
Trying to improve piece placement and attacking b-pawn.
|
|
| |
|
|
22. Nc6
|
Now in here white could have played 22.Rd3!? Qc5 23.Ne6 Qc6 24.Nxg7 taking the strong bishop away which would have been very good plan. 22.Ne6 straight away doesn't work cause 22...Rc8 is too strong so white has to play 23.Nc7 Nxb6 24.Bxb6 Qb4. |
|
| |
|
|
22... e6
|
Opening up the line for f-rook to join the game and basically luring white to play b7 which is bad plan here.
|
|
| |
|
|
23. b7
|
This is already looking bad for white. So now he just starts to collapse by making bad moves from here on. |
|

|
23... Raf8 24. Bd4
|
24.Rc2, would fight longer after, 24...Nb8 25.Nd4 d5 26.Rc3 Qd6 27.exd5 Rxb7 28.Bc4 exd5 29. Bb3, but white is still losing.
|
|
| |
|
|
24... Bxd4 25. Rxd4 Nc5 26. b8=Q
|
This is not helping anything.
|
|
| |
|
|
26... Rxb8 27. Nxb8 Nb3
|
! Now it is over but this move is true beauty! 28.axb3 Qa1+ leads into mate. |
|

|
28. Rd3
|
|
|
| |
|
|
28... Rc7
|
Now white resigned. The attack is going through and white will be mated. This is a good example that even if white would have had chances to play stronger defence and keeping the advantage it is often really hard to defend under the pressure. In this final position whites pieces are just sitting ducks. White simply went for too hazardous option by long castle and then wasn't able to put up the strongest defence. |
