The two candidate moves I looked at. Nf6 and a6 the move played.I was tempted by Nf6 as I thought it might induce the Qxh6 blunder.In the end I played a6 as it prevents Nb5 and protects the a pawn and closes whites play down the a file for the moment. |

25. Qxh6

And white unfortunately takes the poisoned pawn overlooking the intermezzo QxR. The SM likes 25.b4 I prefer 25.Re1 and either move leaves white in it with a balanced game and some attacking chances. Long term the p structure may favour black but there is still a lot of play in the position.
My hat of to berrettastorm up to move 25 he had me sweating bricks. |
