Key move - give up exchange for position and solid pawn structure 21...Qxc6 22.Bxd5 Qd6 23.Bc4 Ra8 24.Bb5 c6 25.Bc4 Be4 26.a4 Be7 27.f3 Bg6 28.Ng4 Bf6 29.Nxf6 Qxf6 White is winning now... 30.d5 Qd6 31.Qd4 Qf6 32.Qxf6 gxf6 33.dxc6 Kg7 34.e4 Rac8 35.Bd5 Two bishops and advanced pawn is powerful. 35...Rc7 36.Rc1 Bh5 37.Kg2 Bg6 38.Bd4 Rcc8 39.Rc5 Red8 40.Bc3 h5 41.Bxa5 Rd6 42.Bc3 Kf8 43.b4 Ke7 44.b5 f5 45.Be5 Rdd8 46.b6 f6 47.Bf4 fxe4 48.fxe4 f5 49.Bg5 Kd6 50.Rb5 Game is won, but just taking R is easier...

Black taking piece is best, but doesn't save black. 12...hxg5 13.hxg5 Nh5 14.Rxh5!! gxh5 Second key move - sacrifice exchange and open up K. 15.Qxh5 Kg8 16.g6 Rf6 17.Qh7 And it's over now! 17...Kf8 18.Bh6 Rxg6 19.Qh8 Q is better... 19...Kf7 20.Qxc8 Rxh6 21.Ke2 Rh8 22.Qxb7 [1-0]
