The Bc4 debate + bad knights to remember + blundersome rooks

  • 21... Nf6h5
    But this now in fact became White's turn to miss a trick with a knight
  • 22. Ne5c4
    ?? Right piece this time, but the wrong square... Instead, Nxf7! and after Kxf7 White would have Rxe6, hitting the Queen, and threatening a real nasty discovered check using the Bishop on a2
  • 22... Nb6xc4 23. Ba2xc4
    Instead now, Black is slightly better due to the weakness of d3
  • 23... Nh5f4 24. Nd2e4 Qd6c6 25. f3
    Qd2 was probably better here
  • 25... f5
    Although this in turn is a very committal move, as Black is now creating weaknesses of his own, namely the pawn on e6
  • 26. Ne4g5 Rd8d6 27. Re1e5 h6
    White should not panic here, simply 28. Nxe6 Rxe6 29.Rc1-e1 making the most of the pin on e6 (using the much talked about Bishop) and then push d3-d4 to add further pressure... this should be winning for White
  • 28. Re5xf5
    ? But White missed this, and so Black is now better
  • 28... hxg5 29. Rf5xg5 Nf4xh3
    Now for the first time in this game, a sound sacrifice has been spotted and played
  • 30. gxh3 Qc6xf3 31. Kg1h2
    Important move, freeing up the back rank for the rook to control, stopping potential mate threats and also protects h3
  • 31... Qf3f4 32. Rg5g3 Rc8d8
    ? this move grants White an opportunity to take the initiative, Rf8 instead was more direct
