    Missing the chance to play Ne5! Followed by Ng4
    • 21... Qf6xd6
      Finally...
      • 22. Qe4e7
        And finally...! But now Ne5 was still better, threatening Ng4 or Nd3
        • 22... Qd6xe7 23. Re1xe7 b5 24. axb5 axb5 25. Bc4f1 Nf4xd5
          Starting a big exchanging sequence... Calculated on the basis of freeing Black's position.
          • 26. Bh2xb8 Nd5xe7 27. Bb8d6 Ne7d5 28. Bf1xb5 Nf8e6
            White has two bishops in an open position and has to be better here - certainly easier to play.
            • 29. Bb5c4 Nd5c7 30. Nf3e5 Bh6c1 31. Ne5xf7 Kg8xf7 32. Bd6xc7 Bc1xb2
              I thought I couldn't be worse here with the passed pawn...
              • 33. Kg1f1 Kf7f6 34. Bc7d6 Bb2d4
                ...Be5 was perhaps better; I shouldn't have been afraid of Bxe6 as I could just recapture on d6
                • 35. Kf1e2 Ne6g5 36. f3 Ng5f7 37. Bd6c7 Nf7h6
                  A bit confused? Why not ...Ne5 to keep the White King from progressing forwards?
                  • 38. Ke2d3
                    White's plan is very simple, to exchange the black pawn on c5. Black needs to be aiming for the weak white pawns but he is fiddling around with his knight...
                    • 38... Nh6f7 39. Kd3e4 Bd4e5 40. Bc7xe5 Nf7xe5
                      Black starts to exchange off foreseeing an easy draw as the White King is drawn to the queenside leaving the Black King to mop up White's extra pawn
