17. Rc1
|
Better square for his rook...controls the best open file available..and another pin! |
 
|
| |
|
|
17... Qd6
|
Which needs dealt with immediately |
|
| |
|
|
18. Rc2 h6 19. Nc5 Bc8
|
Only move available to avoid losing pawn on a6 |
|
| |
|
|
20. Bh4 Nd7
|
Knight on c5 and bishop on h4 are becoming too dangerous and need dealt with |
|
| |
|
|
21. Bxe7 Nxe7 22. Nxd7 Rxd7
|
And that flurry of exchanges removes them both |
|
| |
|
|
23. Be2 Rc7
|
Now I have to challenge for the open file |
|
| |
|
|
24. Nh4
|
Dont think that really threatens anything at all |
|
| |
|
|
24... Be6
|
Got my eye on Q R lined up on same diagonal , looking to skewer them |
|
| |
|
|
25. Rxc7
|
But exchange suits me fine |
|
| |
|
|
25... Qxc7
|
Should now be able to control the open file |
|
| |
|
|
26. Bg4 Qd7 27. Bxe6 Qxe6 28. Qa1
|
I dont understand why he moved here , seems a bit isolated |
|
| |
|
|
28... Rc8
|
Hoping to get Rook to c3 then back it up with Q on same file |
|
| |
|
|
29. Rc1
|
Challenging for the open file |
|
| |
|
|
29... Qb3
|
A quick threat to pawn on D3 and undermine his centre |
|
| |
|
|
30. Nf3
|
Doesnt protect it , instead choosing to attack my pawn on E5 |
|
| |
|
|
30... f6 31. Ne1
|
Now he protects it |
|
| |
|
|
31... Rc3
|
Got there at last ! Now if he exchanges Rooks , I have a nice dangerous passed pawn |
|
| |
|
|
32. Rxc3 dxc3
|
Like that ! |
|
| |
|
|
33. Qc1 Nc6
|
Aiming to go to D4 with knight next and cover the C2 square for a further pawn advance |
|
| |
|
|
34. Nc2
|
Which he blocks,,,dammit |
|
| |
