He solidifies the queen-side. |

He protects again. This is where I missed a quicker win. 35. a5 Qxa5 36. Qxc6+ wins for example Kb8 37. Qa8+ Kc7 38.Qa7+ Kd8 39. d5. The higher boards in my team all saw this - which perhaps shows why they have a slight edge over me! |

With dreams of opening up the queen-side, by putting my rooks on a1 and b1 and playing b2-b3, but it is not the best move. |

Ok, stop and find white's next move! |

Did you find it? I should have played it a move earlier, when it was even stronger. |

Good enough, but h6-h7 was even stronger, and would have caused my opponent to resign, he confided to me later. |
