15...R×f2!

An obvious but instructive sacrifice, designed to seize the initiative and expose White’s king to attack. In one sense, this is a poor example for this book, because the sacrifice is actually sound, having a solid positional basis, but the ensuing play conveys the idea of the initiative clearly.

At this point, both players have around 35 seconds left, so time is not yet a significant factor. What happens on the board is likely to decide the outcome of the game.

16.K×f2 B×d4+ 17.Ke2 B×c3

Winning a piece, because the knight fork after 18.b×c3 N×c3+ costs White his queen, but 17...Qe7+! was even better.

18.Bc4 Qe7+ 19.Kd3 Qe3+ 20.Kc2 Nb4+ 21.Kb3
