17. Bxe4 Rxc4 18. Rac1
|
Removing the Rook from the Bishop's line of fire and exchanging it for Black's active one. |
 
|
| |
|
|
18... Rxc1 19. Rxc1 Re8
|
Activating the second Rook but also weakening f7. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Rc7
|
This needed a few concrete lines to be calculated or else it would have just dropped a piece. The main danger for White is the back rank weakness. |
|

|
|
20... g6
|
I'm not so sure this is a good move, it keeps the initiative for Black, but at a very high cost, activating the white squared Bishop with drastic effects on the security of the Black King. |
|

|
|
21. fxg6 hxg6
|
White has to step back now, but he still has a lot of threats and Black can't meet them all with one move. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Qg4
|
Every White piece is aimed at the Black King. I don't see a miracle move for Black in this position. |
|
| |
|
|
22... Nb5
|
This is begging for it. |
|
| |
|
|
23. Rxf7
|
The fortress has fallen. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Bg5
|
A desperate attempt to stall the outcome for one more move. |
|
| |
|
|
24. Rd7
|
Winning at least a piece. |
|
| |
|
|
24... Rxe4
|
A blunder in a difficult position that effectively ends the game. |
