This is a wild position but, surprisingly, a
rather balanced one. Black’s king is stuck in
the centre, but this factor is compensated by
his well-placed bishops and the weak g7-pawn.
However, Black has to reduce the pressure of
the white pieces on his position immediately.
After the correct 26...¦d8, the most likely
outcome would be an equal endgame after:
27.¥xe6 fxe6 28.¦xe6† ¢f7
30...£c3?
Black again underestimates the power of
his opponent’s pieces and continues playing
speculatively.
It wasn’t too late to reduce the pressure with
30...¥xg4! 31.fxg4 £xg4 32.£xg4 ¦xg4†
33.¢f2 ¢e7, retaining chances for a draw.
29.¦de1 £xg2† 30.£xg2 ¥xg2 31.¢xg2 31.¢h1?!
¥xg7 32.¦e7† ¢f8= 31.£f4! is the most convincing win.
