White to move
28.Nxg5!?
28.Nh2 is objectively better.
28...hxg5 29.Qxg5+ Kh8?
After 29...Kh7 30.Nh4 Rg8 31.Qf6 Nc4 32.Qxf7+ Rg7 33.Qf6 Bd3 34.e6 Qd6 35.h6 Rgg8 36.Qf7+ Kh8 37.Qf6+= White can abandon his lunacy with a perpetual.
White to move
30.Qf6+
30.g4! Bxg4 31.Qf6+ Kh7 32.Bc2+ Bf5 33.h6 Rg8 34.Qxf7+ Kh8 35.e6 with continuing pressure. White should win back the sacrificed material and more. 35...Qd6 36.Qf6+ Kh7 37.Bxf5+ Nxf5 38.Qxf5++-
30...Kh7 31.Nh4 Qe6 32.Qg5??
32.Nxf5 Nxf5 33.Bc2 Qxf6 34.exf6 Kh6 35.Bxf5+-.
Black to move
32...Rg8 33.Qd2 Nc4 34.Qc1 b5 35.Bc2
35.Nxf5 was White's last hope for a playable position. 35...Nxf5 36.Bc2 and Black is only slightly better.
35...Bxc2 36.Qxc2+ Kh8–+
White is lost, but Black is terribly short on time.
37.b3 Nb6 38.Re3 Nd7 39.Rf3 Rg5 40.Re1 Reg8 41.Ree3 Rxh5 42.Rf4 Black forfeits on time 1–0
ok, I was reading along and wondering what I would do if I was in your shoes....I'm completely playing it your way to 30. Qf6+
ReplyDelete30. Kh7 is better defense than Kg8
and my next move would be 31. h6 if he met that with Rg8 32. Qf7 and maybe go for the draw, repeating Qf6/Qf7...
if its Kg8 I think your have checkmate on f7.
