Last book move.
10.Ne4
Nxe4
11.Qxe4
f5
12.Qe2
g5
Double- edged. Black gets kingside play in return for weaknesses on the queenside and in the center.
13.Ne5
Nxe5
A mistake as now white has the half- open d -file to attack the weak pawn on d7.
14.dxe5
Qe8
15.Rd1
a6
To prevent Bb5.
16.f4
g4
17.Be3
Qg6
18.Bxb6
Losing the exchange in return for a pawn and the two bishops.
18...Bf3
19. gxf3 gxf3+ wins the queen.
19.Qf2
Bxd1
20.Rxd1
White may be slightly better now as the pawns on d7 and a6 are going to be very hard to defend for black.
20...Qe8
21.Bc4
Qc8
22.Bb3
Rb8
Threatening 23. ... Rxb6 and 24. ... Bc5+, winning the queen.
23.Kh1
Qc6
24.Ba7
Rb7
25.Be3
a5
26.Qc2
A bad mistake. I had missed that after 26.Qc2 the pawn on f5 is attacked, assuming that the only reason that white had played Qc2 was to defend a4.
26...Rd8
27.Qxf5
a4
28.Qxg4+
Kh8
29.Bc2
Rg8
A slight blunder. 29. ... Rxb2 equalises.
30.Qh3
Rg7
31.Rb1
31. Bc1 !? may have proven to be a better choice here.
31...a3
32.Bc1
Qc4
33.Qf3
Qb5
Diagram # 34.bxa3?! Qxb1 35. Bxb1 Rxb1 and the bishop on c1 drops as well ( 36. Qe3? Ba3.).
34.Qd3
axb2
35.Rxb2
Qc6
36.Qe4
A bad blunder, albeit in terrible time- trouble.
36...Rxb2
37.Bxb2
37.Qxc6 Rxc2! and the dual threats of taking on C1 with chekmate and taking the queen mean that white is completely lost.
37...Qb5
Winning the bishop because of the mating threat on f1.
38.Qd3
Qxb2
39.a4
Desperation. White is now completely lost.
39...Qc1+
40.Bd1
Qxf4
41.Qb5
Allowing the queens to be swapped off and making black's task a lot easier.
41...Qf2
42.Qe2
Qxe2
42. ... Rf7! would have been stronger. The threat of mate on f1 would force white to swap off queens, leaving blacks rook more active than in the game.
