1.d4 f6 2.c4 g6 3.c3 d5 4.f3 c6 5.b3 g7 6.f4 0-0 7.e3 e6 8.e2 bd7 9.0-0 b6 10.c5 xb3 11.axb3 e8 12.e5 xe5 13.xe5 d7 14.xg7 xg7 15.f4 f5 16.b4 f6 17.a3 a6 18.f3 d7 19.d1 ad8 20.f2 h6 21.d3 c8 White has some advantage here due to his pressure on the queenside, but making something of it it will be difficult. He decides that he will add his King to his attacking potential. 22.f2 e7 23.e2 h7 24.aa1 g8 25.h4 h5 26.d2 g7 27.c3 d7 28.b3 f8 29.a4 h7 30.a5 g7 31.fd1 h7 32.e5 White needs to exchange Knights if he is to make progress. xe5 33.dxe5 g7 34.b6 h7 Black has been content to resort to passive defence, confident that White cannot break through. 35.e2 g7 36.a3 f7 37.g3 fe8 38.f3 f8 39.c3 f7 40.e2 f8 41.a1 f7 42.b5 axb5 If Black recaptures with the c-pawn instead, White will attempt a breakthrough by pushing his c-pawn. One illustration of this, admittedly not forced, is 42...cxb5 43.b4 d8 44.ac1 e8 45.c6 bxc6 46.xc6 b7 47.c7 xc7 48.xc7 c8 49.d3 also possible is 49.g7 attacking the Kingside pawns 49...f8 50.a7 e8 51.b8 d7+ 52.b7 d8 53.xa6 a8+ 54.a7 xa7+ 55.xa7 e7 56.b6 and White obtains a decisive passed pawn. The capture with the a-pawn, however allows White to make use of a now fully open a-file. 43.a8 d8 44.ca3 ee8 45.b8 e7 46.a7 d7 47.aa8 dd8 48.b4 d7 If Black plays 48...f7 White can then liquidate into a winning ending with 49.xc8 xc8 50.xc8 xc8 51.xb7 d8 52.xc6 e7 53.b7 d7+ 54.b6 d8 55.xb5 when the Bishop and two pawns are too strong for the Rook. 49.xd8 xd8 50.xd8 xd8 51.xb7 e8 White has regained his pawn, but is Black not safe in his fortress? 52.xb5 No. The walls come tumbling down. cxb5 53.c6 Black must give up his Bishop to stop the c-pawn queening and then White will snap up the pawn on b5. 1–0
