ConLaMismaMano: 15...Ne8 (The beginning of a wrong plan. Better was 15...Kh8.) 16.Rad1 f6? (Weakens the "e6" square. How Felgaer manages to seize the square is exemplary.) 18.Bf5! g6. (White's move is intended to open the column where the king is. Now black can't play 18...Bxf5 19.exf5 Qxf5 ...

ConLaMismaMano: 11.g4! Felgaer feels very comfortable in these positions. Here he gives us a lesson in how to attack the kingside castling. 26.f4! Opening more lines, not just columns but also diagonals (the a1-h8 diagonal is crying out to be opened). 26...d4. It seems to be a good defensive

ConLaMismaMano: 11...Qe7? I find it hard to say that after this mistake Black is lost, but ...
(11...c5 is the move that the position is asking for, quickly hitting the center.) 13. b4! Now the c6-c5 break will be much more difficult to do. 13...Bd8 (13...Bc7 14.Bd3 b6 is an attempt to play ...

ConLaMismaMano: I've never seen a four bishop ending before, must be very hard to play and very tough to analyze! I believe 44.Bb6 was a mistake, maybe even the losing move? Perhaps better was taking on g5 though I'm not sure that White can hold the position.

ConLaMismaMano: 15...Qb4 Fernando will be responsible for practically refuting this move. 16. e6! f5 17. d5! Qxd2 18.Bxd2! (18.Rxd2? Looks more natural, but Black is better after Na5! 19. Bb5 20.Nxc1 Rxc1 f4! 21.Ad4 Rc8 22.Ne2 Rc5 Bxd4 23.Txd4 25.gxf3 Bxd5 24.a4 f3) 21.d6!! Wonderful pawn ...

ConLaMismaMano: 39...Rh6! In rook endings the activity of the rook is vital. (39 ... Rd7?! allows 40.Ke5 and white starts generating things, his two pieces are better placed and can begin looking for victory with more arguments.) 61. a4?? And White avoids repeating moves again! But this move

ConLaMismaMano: 20 ... Bb5! Very strong move. The exchange of bishops weakens the support of "c2" (and thus, Black would gain control of the entire column), so the next move for white is more or less forced. 25. g4? Given the ugly long-term prospects, White decides to embark on confusing ...

ConLaMismaMano: 29.e3! Let the machine think whatever it wants, but this central break is what the position calls for. When no more pawns remain in the center, the discomfort of the black pieces will be noticed more. 30.d4! f5 31.Nxd6!! Excellent! The computer does not understand what is ...

ConLaMismaMano: 17.Bc4! Strong move fixing the c5 pawn and playing against the black pieces (the Knight and, in particular, both Rooks remain awkwardly located). 23.dxe6! A very strong idea. (23.Qa4 Bb7 24.Nd2 is also good). 23...Qxe6 24.e5! Be7 25.Ng5! Qc6 (25...Bxg5 26.Bxg5 is not better, ...

ConLaMismaMano: 20.Rd2?? A blunder, not much more to say. Bxg3! 21.Qf5? The Queen penetrates too far in her rival's position. Nf6 22. fxg3?? Bg6 23.Qf4 Re4! The Queen is lost!
