26... Ng4 27. Qd2 Nxf2+ 28. Kg1
|
The most I can get out of this is an exchange, |
 
|
| |
|
|
28... Nd3+ 29. Kf1 Nxe1 30. Nc6
|
because of my greediness, White gets this tempo move in and my material advantage drops. This caused me to make a horrible move and give White winning chances, in what should've been an easy win for me. |

30... Rxc6
|
Another hasty move. I should've played Qe8 and settled for a 1-pawn advantage after White takes my bishop and wins my trapped knight, after this blunder, White gets a passed pawn and gains a lot of tempo and almost wins, while my minor pieces cannot coordinate and can be picked off in their horrible positions. |

|
31. bxc6 Ne5 32. c7 Qc8 33. c3
|
This move makes way for Qa2 where White's major pieces are threatening on the open file. My minor pieces are too slow to stop that action and are virtually useless. Here I realized my only hope is to get my queen active and draw by perpetual check. |
|

|
33... Nc6 34. Qa2
|
White can afford to sacrifice the exchange because of the very strong passed pawn. After the trade, White's queen on a7 can go to c8 and White will promote. |
|
| |
|
|
34... Nxa7 35. Qxa7 Kg7
|
My best bet is to get my king off the back rank so that I can play Qa6 if White plays Qb8, and manage a draw by perpetual check. I also thought about saving my minor pieces and going into an ending where I have two minors and three pawns (9 points) vs. a queen (9 points) but the queen will just dominate on the open board and win some pawns. |

36. cxd4
|
White removes my attacker of the g1-a7 diagonal so now White can probably escape the perpetual. My best chance to draw is to take a pawn to clear more space for my queen to find checks. |
|
| |
|
|
36... Nxg2 37. Qb8 Qa6+ 38. Kxg2
|
After this I knew I had succeeded in getting a draw, there isn't really any way White can escape the checks after this. |
|
| |
|
|
38... Qe2+ 39. Kg3 Qe3+ 40. Kg2 Qe2+
|
Qxe4 is more risky because it gives White's king more space to roam and a better chance of escaping the checks. It doesn't matter how many pawns I win, because White is going to queen if I stop checking, and none of my pawns are close to promoting. White declined the draw, and just when I thought there was no possible way I could win this, he made a horrible blunder that loses the game immediately. |

41. Kh3
|
White should've realized that he couldn't escape the checks, and settle for a draw, but now White has just suicided his king, by allowing me to draw him closer to my territory with tempo, so that White's promotion threat is meaningless now. |

41... Qf3+ 42. Kh4 h6
|
The only thing that beats a promotion threat is a mating threat. I will play g5# here if White promotes, and all White can do is sacrifice his queen to stall his loss |

43. Qf8+ Kxf8 44. c8=Q+ Kg7 45. Qg4
|
This is the only way to stop the mating threat, and after the queen trade, I have an easy win because of my advantage in pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
45... Qxg4+ 46. Kxg4 Kf6
|
Probably more accurate to push the passed pawn immediately, but that doesn't really matter in an easily winning position |
|

47. Kf4 e5+ 48. dxe5+ dxe5+ 49. Ke3 Kg5 50. Kd3 f5 51. Ke3 f4+ 52. Kf3 b5 53. Ke2 b4 54. h3 b3 55. Kd2 f3
|
White cannot stop both passed pawns, so he resigned here. |
