LJLMETAL: Nice combo. I knew the first move, because that blocks the white Queen from defending. I just couldn't figure out the correct continuation.

LJLMETAL: I guess the first move, and figured that it something to do with the passed pawns. I just couldn't guess the entire continuation.

LJLMETAL: I was originally thinking of
21. f6, Bxf6
22. Rxf6, and white is up in material.
Now I can see why that 21. e5 is played first.
I wonder what would happen if
21. e5, f6.
Could anyone explain that one please? Thanks!

LJLMETAL: White's 35th move is a mistake! The best thing for white to do is keep the rooks on the board

LJLMETAL: That is actually the Mar Del Plata Variation of the King's Indian Defense!

LJLMETAL: All Black has to do now is lock up the pawns, and the white king to move. After that, black is up a piece
