16... Bf5
|
...but my aim is not exchanging pieces, so I create a threat (Re1+, winning Ra1 or Bf1. |
 
|

|

17. g4
|
Now Re1+, Kd2, RxR, gxB. But I don't want to exchange... still, in the blitz hurry, I have to be careful not to overattack and lose some piece. |
|

|
|
17... Nfxd3+ 18. Bxd3
|
Nxd3+ gets the tempo, but then I'll have to lose it retreating my B. Re1+ etc. still wins me the exchange, but nothing more. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Bxd3
|
Now, very few moves are left to white. I would recommend Rd2, so to defend Re1+ with Rd1. He went... |
|
| |
|
|
19. Kd2
|
...setting a nice trap: this concedes the pawn c4, but hey, be careful: Bxc4+, Kc3, and I lose a piece!!! |
|
| |
|
|
19... Bg6+
|
So, this is much better. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Kc3 Na6
|
...and this. My pieces are solidly placed, and still white has it very hard to move. Rd3+, Kc2 (forced), Rxh3+ followed by RxR is threatened. |

Still neglecting developement, but if Ne2?, Re3#!, or if Nf3, Rd3+ and the N is just lost for nothing. This move opens a fly square for the white K. |
|

|
|
21... Rd3+
|
All the same, without being able to spot something more. |
|

How to go on, now? It's much harder to play attacking than defending. Again, I am only +1 in material, so I have to find a way to make my advantage concrete. |

Almost no useful moves for white, again. |
|

Well, you'll expect Kb8, defending a7, but... I can easily give away a pawn for a tempo. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Nb4
|
This threatens Nd3+. Not a big deal, but still going on and keeping my pieces over the WK. |
|
| |
|
|
24. Nxa7+ Kb8
|
See? Nothing happened. Of course, I didn't play c6? the previous move (Nd6+, losing he exchange). |
|
| |
|
|
25. Nb5
|
...and this N is harmless, and I have the tempo. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Nd3+ 26. Ka3
|
Not clear about Kc3 instead, but who wants another discovered threat? |
|
| |
|
|
26... Re8e6
|
This is very sadistic. A "quiet" move threatening Ra6...#! |
|
| |
|
|
27. Nc3
|
Only move to prevent mate. You can see Nc3's potential. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Ra6+ 28. Na4
|
Ok, but this N is lost after... |
|
| |
|
|
28... c6
|
...threatening b5. White can hardly cope with it. My advantage will be concrete (a full piece as the least). Of course, b4 - opening a square for the K is useless as it sets up a discovered check with the N... which I wouldn't have gone for, of course! |
