White's hopes lie on the d5 pawn and attack on the King. Combinations are always in the air as knight on g7 and qh4/h3(after the pawn capture) look bit awkward 22...Qxh3 23.exd5 cxd5 24.Nc5 [24.Nxd5 Qxg4 25.Qxc4 Qf5+] 24...Ne6 25.b3 Nxc5?! [25...Nd6 looks like the right move. This will retain some diffenders for the Black's King.] 26.dxc5 Na5 27.b4 Nc4 [27...Nc6 28.b5 d4 29.Na4 with complications!] 28.Nxd5 Na3+ 29.Ka1 Rhe8? But this is a mistake. Black should play 30.c6 bxc6 31.Qxc6 And now the game is over! White is able to create tomany threats from nowhere! Blacks rook on e8 is attacked first and if it moves to f8 defending the rook on d8 then Rook e7 decides the game. Hence, Black resigned 1–0
