  Chessical: John is not comfortable in his restricted Philidor's defence, and falls prey to Suechting's white squared bishop. It creates a diabolic havoc against John's Q-side. 22...a6 overlooks the fact that his b pawn is effectively pinned, he had to play 22...Qxe4

24.Bb5!, this effectively wins the game.

26.Bc5 trapping the K and threatening to win the B on d8 with Rd1 was equally powerful.

27.Raxd8+ Ke7 28.R8d7+ Qxd7 29.Bc5+ Kd8 wins;but 27.Rdxd8+ Ke7 28.Ra7+ Kxd8 29.Qd5+ Ke8 30.Qxe5+ Kf8 31.Qxh8 is a neatly constructed mate.
