Rxg2+!! 15.Kxg2 Bb7 16.Be3 Bxd5+ 17.f3 Qc7 18.Qxd5! {(BvR) Giving back the exchange, therefore not the best move} exd5 19.Bb6+ Qe7 20.Rxe7+ Kxe7 21.Bd4 {TC: is Re1+ better for white? (BvR) the positions are dead even. Until move 31. Rf2 where white is in serious trouble} Ke6 22.b3 Rc8 23.Rc1? {c3 better...?} Bf4 24.Re1+ Kf5 25.Re2 a6 26.Bf2 Rg8+ 27.Bg3 h5 28.Kh3 Rc8 29.Bxf4 Kxf4 30.Kg2 Rc3 31.Rf2 {White should have tried Rd2 instead} d4! {this pawn is now on a suicide run much to Whites delight ...patience by black here probably wins the day.(BvR) White should have been scared instead, as he probably is lost at this stage} 32.Rd2 Ke3! 33.Rf2 {White is now...Zugzwang but black gives him space and hope with her next move...} d3? {A pity: white can't move his rook without losing a pawn or worse. Without 33...d3 it will be a matter of patience for Anna to create pawn weaknesses, and then push her d-pawn to finish it off, eg. 33...f5; 34.f4, h4; 35.h3, Rc8; 36.a4, Rc3; 37.Kf1, and now 37...d3! and white's pawn structure will collapse.} 34.cxd3 {TC - Phew!} Rxd3 35.Kg3 Rd1 36.f4?? {(BvR) Blunder, as white should lose his rook: 35...h4+; 36.Kg2, h3+; 37.Kg3, Rg1+} Rg1+?? {(BvR) She missed it...!} 37.Rg2 Rxg2+ 38.Kxg2 Kxf4 39.a4? {(BvR) So far, black was better, but after 39...a5 she should be clearly winning} Ke5? {a5 instead is a win for Black I Think...} 40.b4 Kd6 {(BvR) After Kd4 instead, black would still be on the better side of a draw. Now it will be a draw, until...} 41.Kf3 Kc6? {(BvR) ..this move suddenly looses for black. After 41..Kd5 and Kc4, attacking the white pawns, the position will be drawn.} 42.Kf4 a5 43.b5+ Kc5 44.Kf5 Kb4 45.b6 Kxa4 46.b7 Kb3 47.b8=Q+ Kc3 48.Qc7+ {Black played a very strong and inventive game - leaving White scrambling throughout, before he finally found a winning endgame. (BvR) An interesting game, indeed..} {#r}
