This is a RHP slow game.

No big deal in itself, but I would like to show some unfolded combinations that were waiting, lurking in the shadows.



This is the interesting position where the combination No1 should have hapenned.



Another interesting position

I don't think 5. ... Bh3 deserves two exclamation marks as Black has a slightly stronger move than that.

You are right, but pnly now I see I made a mistake.
In the corretc position, Black Rook is on h8, so I can return the piece I had sacrficed.
In the position with Rook on h8, Bh3 is winning.

I have set the position blindly...

Thanks for the correction.
It was my first thread with a lot of fen's and pgn's in one post.

So, in the position on diagram, Black Rook should be on h8!

I see now that I forgot to put some comments in the game

When I played 20. Na5 -
I have set the position on my chess wallet, and by mistake I put the Knight on a4. Next morning I looked at the position, and I saw a natural move for Black 20...Rd4, which would have won a piece.

I almost resigned, and it would have been a joke-resignation of the decade!

I think White should also win with
22. Qxc6 Qxc6
23. Nxc6 Kc7
with an attempt to catch the Knight
24. c4 Rc5
25. b4 etc.
