19...xf1 20 xf1 xf1+ 21 d1 d3+ 22 c2 e1+ 23 c3

23 c1 gives Black nothing better than 23...d3+, repeating.

23...c5

23...d5+ is regarded as an improvement.

24 f5 d5+ 25 c4 f3

25...h5!? 26 e2 xf5 27 xe1 may well be fairly good for Black.

26 g3 b6+

Instead 26...xd1 is possible, but then 27 h6+ gives White at least a draw. After 27...h8 28 f7+ g8 29 xd5, the threat is 30 h6 g6 31 c3.

27 xc5

The king goes on the rampage.

27...c8+ 28 d6 c6+ 29 e7 d5+

This forces, or at least encourages, the white king onto its eighth rank, but leaves Black’s pieces badly coordinated. Black had to play 29...c7+, when White can allow a draw by 30 d6 c6+ or 30 d8 c8+ 31 e7 c7+, with a repetition in both cases. Otherwise he must avoid 30 e8?? c6+ 31 d8 c8+ 32 e7 xf5, but 30 xc7!? d5+ 31 d6 xc7 32 de3 is possible, when the e-pawn may yet cause problems.

30 d8
