Gormally played brilliantly all way through.
Aug-16-22  chess.o.rama: Five stars is high praise unless its on a Bo Derek scale. White was creative throughout and whipped up a storm with the rooks.

With you there. Black seemed to be doing just fine until he allowed <30.Re8>. After that White created threat after threat and Black couldn't cope.

Quite why Black shunned <29...Nc3> and <30...Nxa2> is a bit of a mystery. That would have allowed White to force a draw with 29...Nc3 30.Re1 Nxa2 31.Re7 Rf8 32.Re2 Rb8 33.Re7, etc. so maybe that's got something to do with it.
