| The Villian - White - to make move 16. |
16. Rae1
?! Be6
White misses 16. d5!, which threatens the knight getting to attack the c7
square and forking Black’s rooks after 16. …cxd5, 17. Nxd5 or if 16. ....c5, 17
Nb5! (+1.7). Instead (+.2).
17. a3 g6
18. f3 Nge2
19. Nge2 exf3
20. Rxf3 Bd5?
Black missed 20. …Ne6! Which gives Black a slight lead (-.2). Instead, White now has a (+.8) lead.
[Don says
that at this juncture, “It seems my problem with this game is with my white
squared bishop. I decided not to hide it on d7, and instead try to prevent
White from playing e4. I think White is better here as he will focus on my d-pawn.”]
21. Nxd5 cxd5
22. Nf4 Qf7
23. Qb3 Rad8
24. Rc1? ……..
The wrong plan. Re-routing the knight via 24. Nd3 then Ne5 was correct.
Instead, the game is back to even!
24….. Rd6?
Black returns the error as 24. …Ne6 25.
Nxe6, Rxe6 keeps the game even. (+1).
25. Rc5 Ne6
[Don adds: "Here is my effort to release some of the pressure on my d-pawn.]
26. Nxe6 Rexe6
[Don: "I still feel under pressure!"]
Igor says; You should as you are positionally still down a pawn. (+1).
27. Rc8+ Kg7
28. g4 Re7
29. gxf5 gxf5
30. Rg3+?? Rg6
This check hurts White. Needed was 30. Qc2 to stop the loss of advantage
and keep the game even. Instead Black takes over at this point. (-.7) and White falls apart after losing the thread of the game and his advantage.
31. Rxg6+ Qxg6+
32. Kh2?? f4!
33. Rc3 Qg3+
34. Kh1 f3
35. White
resigns
