The text move leaves a "hole" at d4, where the knight subsequently lodges.} Ne7 17.e5 Nd5 18.Bd2 {If 18 exf6 then 18...Nf4 19 Qe3 Nxg2 20 Qg5 (of course if 20 Kxg2 then 20...Qg4+ 21 Kh1 Bxf3+ winning the queen) Qxg5 21 Nxg5 Nf4 22 Rfd1 gxf6 and White's knight has no escape. If 22 fxg7 then 22...Rf6 threatening rg6 again winning the knight.} Be7 19.Ne1 Qf7 20.f4 {White has now the better position.} Rab8 21.Bc4 bxc5 22.bxc5 h6 23.Nc2 g5 24.Rb1 gxf4 25.Rb3 {Threatening to win the bishop by Rfb1.} Bc6 26.Bxf4 Nxf4 27.Rxf4 Kh7 28.Ne3 {White here overlooked that he could have gained a pawn by Rxf5 with probably a winning position.} Bg5 29.Rxf5 Bxe3+ 30.Qxe3 Qg6 31.Rf2 Bxg2 {Clever play.} 32.Rxb8 {If instead 32 Rxg2 Black would have won brilliantly by 32...Qb1+ 33 Rxb1 Rxb1+ and mate in two moves.} Be4 33.Qg3 Rxb8 34.Qxg6+ Kxg6 35.Rf6+ Kg7 36.Rf4 Bf5 37.Rf3 Rb1+ 38.Kf2 Rb2+ 39.Kg3 Rd2 40.Rf4 a5 41.h4 c6 42.Kf3 a4 43.Ke3 Rc2 44.Ba6 Rxa2 45.Bc8 Ra3+ 46.Ke2 Rc3 47.Bxd7 a3 48.d5 cxd5 49.c6 Kf7 50.Ra4 Ke7 51.Ra8 d4 52.Re8+ Kf7 53.Ra8 Be4 54.Ra7 Rc2+ 55.Ke1 a2 56.Kd1 d3 57.Bc8 Kg6 {White has no resource against the threat of Bf3+ followed by d2+. A highly interesting game.} 0-1
