19... Bxd4
|
I take back. |

20. Nc3
|
And this retreat is the start of her problems, after the exchange she is left with weak isolated pawns on the queen-side and my rook can penetrate to the second rank. Clear advantage to black now.
I would guess she was afraid that 20. Rab1 would lose a pawn, as I could exchange rooks and take on b2, but then her rook goes to the 7th rank and is very active - she would have had enough compensation for the pawn. |

20... Bxc3
|
So I take. |
|
| |
|
|
21. bxc3
|
She takes back. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Rd2
|
I invade. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Rab1
|
She counter-attacks b7 |
|
| |
|
|
22... b6
|
So I deal with that threat. |
|
| |
|
|
23. a4
|
Presumably trying to exchange off weak queen-side pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Ra2
|
So I attack it. |
|
| |
|
|
24. f3
|
She hits my bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
24... Bd7
|
I attack the pawn again. |
|
| |
|
|
25. a5
|
She pushes again. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Rxa5
|
I take. I am a clear pawn up, but not only that my pieces are in dominating positions. |
|
| |
|
|
26. f4
|
Trying to exchange pawns, or close down the king side - restrict my bishop in some way. |
|
| |
|
|
26... Kf8
|
I decide to centralise my king. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Rcd1
|
She attacks my rook. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Ke7
|
Gameknot computer doesn't like move and prefers Bg4 attacking his rook. Fritz likes Bg4 or Rc7. |
|
| |
|
|
28. Rbc1
|
And it doesn't like this move either. The reason was white could now do some exchanging - rook takes bishop, king takes back, then bishop check on h3 and white wins the exchange back. Normally when material down, a side wants to exchange pawns but not pieces, but this position is an exception. White's bishop is a bad bishop, blocked in by the pawn on e4. We will see later exactly how bad it becomes.. |
