13...Ng4!? 14.h3 Nxf2! 15.Rxf2 Bxc3 16.Nf1?! (16.dxc7 Nxc7 leads to a complicated game but with chances for both sides ) 16...cxd6 17.Bb2 Bxb2 18.Rxb2 Qe5 19.Qb3 Bd7 20.Rc2 Rac8 21.e3 Rxc2 22.Rxc2 Bb5 23.Kh2

23...Bxf1 ( The bishop is much better than the Knight. Better was 23...Bd3 or ) (23...h5 ) 24.Bxf1 f4 25.exf4 gxf4 26.Bxa6 bxa6 27.gxf4 Qxf4+ 28.Qg3+ Qxg3+ 29.Kxg3 Kg7 30.Rc7+ Kf6 31.Kf4 Re8 32.Ke3 Ke5 33.Rxa7 Rg8 34.Rxa6 Rg3+ 35.Kf2 Rxh3 36.b5 Rc3 37.b6 Kf4 38.b7 Rc2+ 39.Kg1 Rb2 40.Rxd6 Rxb7 41.Rxh6

41...Ke3 (41...Ke5 42.d6 Rd7 is of course the easiest way to draw ) 42.d6 Kd2 43.Rh5 Rd7 44.Rd5+ Ke2 45.Kg2 e3 46.Kg3 Ke1 47.Kf3 e2 48.Ke3 Kf1 49.Rf5+ Ke1 50.Rh5 Kd1? (50...Kf1 51.Rf5+ Ke1 52.Rf2 Rxd6 53.Rxe2+ Kd1 54.Rh2 Ra6 55.Kd3 Ra3+ 56.Kc4 Ra8 57.Rb2 Kc1 58.Rh2 Rc8+ with an easy draw ( But not 58...Kb1 59.a4 Rxa4+ 60.Kb3 +- ) ) 51.Rd5+ Ke1 52.Rd2 Kf1 53.Rxe2 Rxd6 54.Rh2 Ra6 55.Kd3 Ke1 56.Kc4 Kd1 57.Kb5 Ra3 58.Kb4 Ra8 59.a4 Rb8+ 60.Kc5 Ra8 61.Ra2 Kc1 62.a5 Kb1 63.Ra4 Kb2 64.a6 Kb3 65.Ra1 Rh8 66.a7 Rh5+ 67.Kd6 1-0

25.d5 exd5 26.Bxf6 gxf6 27.Rg3+ Kh7 28.Qh5 Qb7 29.Qf5+ 1-0

22...Rxg5 This pawn is not so important. Better is (22...O-O-O ) 23.Qd3 Rxe5 24.Qxd4 Qc5 25.Qxc5 Rxc5 26.Rae1 Re5 27.Rf4 g5 28.Rg4 Ke7 29.c3 Rf8 30.Bc2 d5 31.Re2 Rf4 32.Rxf4 gxf4 33.Rf2 dxe4 34.Rxf4 e3 35.Kf1 Bd5 36.b3 e2+ 37.Ke1 Bxg2 38.Rf2 Bf1 39.Bd3 Re3 40.Bxe2 Bxe2 41.Rxe2 Rxc3 42.Kd2 Rc5 43.Rh2 Kd6 44.Rh8 b4 45.Kd3 Rg5

46.Rh2 (46.Rb8 Rb5 47.Rd8+ Ke5 48.Rh8 Rd5+ 49.Ke3 keeping the rook active is better ) 46...Kd5 47.Ke3 Rg1 48.Rd2+ Ke5 49.Rh2 Rg3+ 50.Kd2 Kd5 51.Kc2 e5 52.Rd2+ Ke4 53.Re2+ Kd4 54.Rd2+ Ke3 55.Rd3+ Kf4 56.Rd6 a5 57.Rf6+ Ke4 58.Ra6 Rg2+ 59.Kb1 Kd3 60.Rxa5 e4 61.Rd5+ Ke2 62.Rd4 e3 63.Rxb4 Ke1 (63...Kd3 64.Rb8 e2 and the king is already nearby the pawns ) 64.a4 e2 65.Re4 Kf1 66.b4 e1=Q+ 67.Rxe1+ Kxe1 68.b5 Kd2 69.b6 Rg4 70.a5 Ra4 71.b7 Rb4+ 72.Ka2 Rxb7 73.Ka3 Kc3 74.Ka4 Kc4 0-1

41...Qd8 (41...Qxc1 42.Rxc1 Rxc1 43.a5 Ra1 44.Bb6 is probably winning for White but offers more resistance ) 42.Qa3 Nf7 43.Qb4 Ra8 44.Bc6 Rcb8 45.Qc3 Ra6 46.Rb1 Qc8 47.Qd3 Rxb1 48.Rxb1 Nd8 49.Bb5 Ra8 50.Qd2 Rb8 51.Rc1 Qb7 52.Qa5 Ra8 53.Qc7 Rb8 54.Ba7 Nc6 55.Qxb7 Rxb7 56.dxc6 1-0

38...Nxb5? White has a big advantage but this is despair  39.cxb5 Rxb5 40.Ra1 Ra8 41.Nh4 Rxb2 42.Nf5+ Kg6 43.Rxh6+ Kg5 44.Rah1 Kxg4 45.R1h4+ Kg5 46.Kf3 1-0

Rxa5 30.Qc3 Rc5 31.bxc5 Bxc5 32.g3 also with a big advantage ) 29...Rb8 30.Qc4 Qa7 31.Ra6 Qd7 32.Qc6

32...Rb7? 33.Ra8+ Kg7 34.Rd8 1-0

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 Bc5 5.c3 a6 6.Bb3 Ba7 7.Nbd2 d6 8.Nf1 h6 9.Ng3 Qe7 10.Qe2 g6 11.h3 Nd7 12.O-O Nc5 13.Bd5 Ne6 14.Re1 Ncd8 15.Be3 Nf4 16.Qd2 g5?! playing for a win with Black can be very complicated...  17.d4 Rg8 18.dxe5 dxe5 19.Bxa7 Rxa7 20.Nf5 Qf6 21.Rad1 Ra8

22.Bb3 ( White is much better and could go on with by example 22.Qe3 ) 22...Nc6 23.Bd5 Nd8 24.Bb3 Nc6 25.Bd5 1/2-1/2

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.h3 O-O 6.Bg5 Na6 7.Qd2 e5 8.d5 c6 9.g4 cxd5 10.cxd5 Nc5 11.f3 Bd7 12.h4 Qa5

13.h5?! probably too daring  13...Nb3 14.Qh2 Rfc8 ( Playing very aggressively has some points. Your opponent may see too much. Black had to go for 14...Nxa1 ) ( or 14...h6 ) 15.hxg6 hxg6 16.Rd1 Nd4 17.Qh4 Ne8 18.Bh6 f6? probably the decisive mistake  19.Bxg7 Nxg7 20.Qh7+ Kf7 21.Rh6 Rh8 22.Qxg6+ Kg8 23.Rxh8+ Kxh8 24.Rd2 Kg8 25.Rh2 Rf8 26.Rh7 Rf7 27.g5 fxg5 28.Qh6 Re7 29.Rh8+ Kf7 30.Qxg5 Qc5 31.Rh6 Nc2+ 32.Kd2 Qf2+ 33.Be2 Ba4 34.Nxa4 Qe1+ 35.Kxc2 Rc7+ 36.Nc3 b5 37.Qf6+ 1-0
