Chess opening:
Sicilian (B24), closed, Smyslov variation
|

43. Be1
|
Now if only I could my bishop safely onto the h4-d8 diagonal and my king to a safe square, his h pawn would be permanently backwards. However I have not the space nor the time. |
 
|
| |
|
|
43... Bd6
|
So Play this. |
|
| |
|
|
44. h4
|
And he gets rid of his backward pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
44... gxh4
|
I take. |
|
| |
|
|
45. Bxh4+
|
He takes back. |
|
| |
|
|
45... Kg6
|
I move to stop his passed g pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
46. Bd8
|
Stopping my king from attacking his g pawn and maybe attacking my c5 pawn with Bb6. |

There is not much I can do. I am very passive. |
|

47. Bf6
|
He has a plan... |
|
| |
|
|
47... Kg6
|
I hit the bishop. |

He offers an exchange. I thought that if I accepted I was lost, but in fact I think I can draw in a similar way to the game Bxe5 49. Kxe5 Kg5 50. Kd6 Kxg4 51. Kxc5 e5 52. Kd5 Kf4 53. c5 e4 and draws. |

So I dropped my bishop back. |

|
|
49. Bf4

He prepares to march his king in. Now I should have played Kf6, but instead.... |

Now passive defence loses, so I decided to counter-attack. |
