All Black’s pieces (except the poor bishop on h7) are geared towards White’s king.

36.♕f4 ♕d1!

Black prepares to free his bishop with the …h6-h5 break.

37.♔g2 h5 38.gxh5 ♕xh5 39.g4 ♕h4 40.♘c5 ♗xf5!

Everything is ready for the grand finale.

41.♕xf5 ♕g3+ 42.♔h1 ♕h3+ 43.♔g1 ♕g3+ 44.♔h1 g6!

White’s queen is suddenly out of squares.

45.♘xe4

If 45.♕d7 ♘f6 wins, while after 45.♕f1 ♘d2 followed by ♖e1 decides.

45…♕h3+ 46.♔g1 gxf5 47.♘f6+ ♔f8 48.♗c5+ ♖e7 49.gxf5 ♕g3+ 50.♔f1 ♕f4+

And White resigned.

The Key Lessons

The …e7-e5-set-up gives Black enhanced central control, especially on the dark squares. If White fails to develop any initiative or to manoeuvre purposefully, he can soon fall into difficulties

White’s ♘f3 was particularly passive and ineffective here, a very long way from d5 and blocking the white f-pawn

Black’s bishop manoeuvre 21…♗d8 and subsequent …♗a5 was highly effective
