38... Kg6

Of course I thought about Rg7+, and if Kh5, Qh3#, but what if Kf5? I had Qh3+, but I'd lost f6, this couldn't I allow! |

Rd2 was more forcing, but black is already heading for a Q's excange and f6's liquidation. That would be a hard win for white. I had to look again for something more. What should be white's "target"? Which will be the winning point? If I am right, I will tell you later. |

And here, the magic carrousel begins. Can you see the mate from here? I'm not sure it is forced, but it seems so. Look... |

The mistake, but I'm not sure Kd5 would have lead to a forced mate. Probably yes... but this loses right now. It was the chanche I looked for: to bring into the game my Q with check, avoiding the drawish Q's exchange. This was the purpose of the carrousel. |

Despite almost even forces, white had just the look for winning based on one single tempo. Note: black has mate in two from the moment my Q goes, so I'm forced to check. Bringing the Q into the attack with check was my ONLY WAY OUT! Even without the R, black had a perpetual. I hope you enjoyed it, despite the poor play. |
