Jan-18-20  laskereshevsky: See the first Nf4 but after same game's moves were out of sight for me, i seeked other paths....

self delused by myself cause once, same 10 years ago, i played the same combination in a tournament game, just with the bishop (Bh6+) and cause the blacks Rg8 and pawn in h7 g6 f6 black Kg7 was forved to take it, and as in this game the Nd6 jumped to Nf7+ and i took the Qd8... but i did not not seen the move Rh6 in my analisys now....

  agb2002: White is one pawn down.

Black threatens fxe5 and Rxh7.

The squares e6 and g6 are weak. This suggests 23.Nf4 Bxf4 (23... fxe5 24.Qxg6+ Kf8 25.Qf7#) 24.exf4:

A) 24... fxe5 25.Qh3 (25.Rg1 e4) 25... Qxd6 (due to Qh6# and Qxe6) 26.Qh6+ Kf7 (26... Kf6 27.fxe5+ wins) 27.fxe5

A.1) 27... Qe7 28.Rf1+ Ke8 29.Qxg6+ followed by Rf7 looks good for White.

A.2) 27... Qd7 28.Rf1+ as above.

B) 24... Nc4 25.Rg1 Nxd6 26.Qxg6+ Kf8 27.Qg8+ Rxg8 (27... Ke7 28.Rg7+ Nf7 29.Q(R)xf7#) 28.hxg8=Q+ Ke7 29.Rg7+ Nf7 30.Q(R)xf7#.

C) 24... Rxh7 25.Rxh7+ Kxh7 26.Qh3+ Kg7 (26... Kg8 27.Qxe6+ looks winning) 27.Qxe6 fxe5 28.Qf7+ followed by Ke2 or 0-0-0 seems to win.

  agb2002: My 24.exf4 loses all the advantage according to Stockfish. Instead, 24.Rg1 immediately is strongest, as <mel gibson> already pointed out.
Jan-18-20  devere: I saw 23.Nf4 Bxf4 but missed 24.Rg1!!. What a move! The monster knight on d6 paralyzes the Black Queen from any effective defensive action. After 24.Bxf4 Black still has no way to defend what looks at first glance to be a reasonable position. A fine conception from GM Jobava against a strong opponent.
