Qf3 b5 14. g4 {Both players are carrying out their plans attacking on opposite wings.} Nd6 15. a3 Nfe4 16.

Bf2 Ne8 27. h5 Rd7 28. a4 { A finely timed move by White undermining Black's queenside pawns.} Bd8 29. b3 { It would seem that White is now looking for his share of the spoils on the queenside. Has Black expanded tooquickly?} Bd5 30. bxc4 Bxc4 {Natural to give the Black bad bishop more scope or have it swapped off but it allows Black's b-pawn to be put under more pressure. White is now for choice.} 31. Rfb1 Qc6 { This looks like the losing move as Black's queenside is being dismantled.} 32. axb5 Bxb5 33. Bb3 {White misses an opportunity to win the exchange with 33.c4 Ba6 34.Ba4. From here on the game starts to turn Black's way.} Bd3 34. Rc1 Kh8 35.

Rc1 Rb3 47. Qe2 Qh6 48. Rxa4 Qxh5 { An excellent move recognising that the bishop on a5 is surplus to requirements. The rest of the game plays itself.} 49. Rxa5 Qh2+ 50. Kf1 Qh1+ 51. Bg1 Nxe3+ 52.
