23... Rhd8
|
This is the start of my dominance, I now have an active king, and have brought one inactive rook into the game |
 
|
| |
|
|
24. Ke2 Rxd1 25. Kxd1 Rd8+
|
Now the position is very much in my favour, white looks certain to lose the pawn, and with little compensation in position (his king is back on the 1st rank) |
|
| |
|
|
26. Ke2 Ke5 27. Rf4 Rd6 28. h4
|
A weak move, better would be to use his active rook with either Rg4 (threatening Rg5 ) or Rh4 (threatening the undefended pawn) although neither is particularly billiant |
|
| |
|
|
28... Rxf6 29. Rxf6 Kxf6
|
With my kingside majority I was confident of forcing a victory, although I nearly messed it up!! |
|
| |
|
|
30. Kf3
|
Realising the danger on the kingside and so mobilising the king to cover |
|
| |
|
|
30... g5 31. Kg4
|
If now gxh4 I could have won easily, after: 31...gxh4 32. Kxh4 Kf5 33. Kg3 Ke4 34. Kf2 h5. However I missed this opportunity |
|
| |
|
|
31... h6 32. c3 Ke5
|
Oh dear I was calculating the variations after f5 Kh5 g4 Kxh6 g3 etc, and completely lost sight of the board |
|
| |
|
|
33. hxg5 hxg5 34. Kxg5
|
Even despite the blunder this should be a comfortable victory with my well placed king. |
|
| |
|
|
34... Ke4 35. b4
|
I was anticipating Kf6, as this is the best move, although I noticed my opponent taking a while on this move (we were both online) so he perhaps calculated this line as a losing one (which I think it is) so wanted to try something different, however this is a bad blunder allowing me to stroll arround gobbleing up his pawns |
|
| |
|
|
35... Kxe3 36. b5 Kd3
|
And my opponent decided to call it a day before it became too bloody. Even after a variation like 37. Kf6 Kxc4 38. Ke5 Kxc3 its easy to see my c-pawn will promote and win the game |
