Not the usual method of tripling the heavy pieces.

  Phony Benoni: <Gregor Samsa Mendel>: Good one!
Mar-24-15  backyard pawn: great finish! Interesting game between two Nice ol' men!
Mar-24-15  TheaN: Albero read the game extremely well after 25.Rxg5 breaking with c4!, yet he missed one step along the way. Luckily for him Hutchings did too.

After 33.Qc8, constantly pressuring g7, perhaps 33....Qa2 was the easiest option, threatening the same mating pattern as ingame and forcing 33.Rxg7+ Rxg7 34.Rxg7+ Rxg7 35.Bxg7 Kxg7 . Instead, after Qd6?! black forgets the defense of the b7-rook.

<34.Bxg7!> pretty much forces Kf7 as 34....Rxg7? 35.Qxb7 <34....Kf7 35.Be5 > and white won a crucial pawn and destabilized black. Somewhat amazed Hutchings missed this, after pressuring g7 for quite a while.

Mar-24-15  TheaN: <backyard pawn: two Nice ol' men!> Lawl it took me a while to realize what you meant, given these guys were not old at all when they played this game.
Mar-24-15  kevin86: The major pieces couldn't mate without the able pawn on f5.
Mar-24-15  morfishine: Cool finish
Mar-24-15  Smite: Interesting maneuver starting with Ne8, then f6, e5,controlling the center with the Knight to occupy d4 via the e6 square.
