Threatening Rc3 |

|

|
|
22... Kb8 23. a3
|
limits the scope of black's bishop and creates an escape hatch. |

|
| |
|
|
23... Qc8
|
The point of Kb8 besides side stepping the Rc3 is that black can now reroute his queen to the more central e6. |

I am in lawn cutting mode now! My aim is to take away as much of conde7's space as I can and squeeze him into undefendable position. |

|

|

24... Qe6
|
?! I would have played the more active 24...Qf5 hitting at f3 |

I have a small problem that all my pieces are tied up doing something. The only useful move I have is this one which allows black to go on the offensive. |

I like this move. |

forces the exchange of the bishop pair. |

The exchange has one glaring defect for black. In that it opens the e-file! |

A bit of a messy pawn structure but I am up a pawn! With complete control of the centre |

Despite the messy pawn structure white's advantage is clear. |

The only way to retain the pawn advantage. |

Threatening Re4 to dominate the board. |

I give up the pawn advantage for a even bigger plus-central dominance. Though in a few short moves I regain the pawn advantage. |

|

32... Qf7 33. Nb3 Bh4 34. Nc5 Bf2 35. Nxa6+

now I am winning. |

35... Kb7 36. Nc5+ Bxc5 37. bxc5 Kc7 38. b4

The storm is coming and black's remaining pieces are hopelessly out of place. |

38... g5 39. Rde1 Kd8 40. Kb2

The game ends as white has finally unpinned his bishop and will easily out match black. |
