This just weakens the kingside.} Nh6 14.Rb1 Nc5 15.b4 axb4 16.axb4 Na4 17.Qc2 {A poor move. Bareyev should have exchanged knights. 17.Nxa4 Bxa4 18.Qc1 Be8 19.f3 g5 20.Bf2 f5 Black's kingside attack is impressive, don't you think?} Nxc3 18.Qxc3 g5 19.Bg3 h4 20.Bh2 f5 21.c5 g4 {The weakening of the kingside by 13.h3 now comes back to haunt my opponent.} 22.c6 Bc8 {This is stronger than capturing at c6, which would have opened up the a2-g8 diagonal for potential counterplay. 22...bxc6?! 23.dxc6 Bc8 24.Bc4+ Kh8 White has some chances for a counterattack on the a2-g8 diagonal.} 23.hxg4 fxg4 24.cxb7 Bxb7 25.O-O Qg5 26.Ra1 {26.g3 Rf7 27.Nc4 Qg6 The weakness at e4 makes itself felt.} Rxa1 27.Rxa1 Bxd5 {27...Nf5! 28.exf5 e4 29.Nxe4 Qxf5 30.Qa3 Bxa1 31.Qxa1 Qxe4 32.Bf1 Bxd5 Black's material advantage is decisive.} 28.Ra7 {28.exd5 e4 I win more material on the a1-h8 diagonal.} Be6 29.Rxc7 Qf6 30.Qe3 Nf7 31.Bc4 Bh6 32.Qe2 Bxd2 33.Bxe6 Qxe6 34.Qxd2 Qb3 {Not the most efficient move. Later I found a better plan. 34...Qg6 35.Qd3 Ng5 36.Qc4+ Qe6 37.Qxe6+ Nxe6 My control of the d4 square would be more important than the seventh rank.} 35.Kh1 {A good move, creating a home for the bishop.} Qb1+ 36.Bg1 Qxe4 37.Qc2 Qxc2 38.Rxc2 {One would think that White has some chances in this endgame, thanks to the passed pawn on the b-file. But it is an optical illusion. My protected passed pawn, though still at d6, is stronger.} d5 39.b5 d4 40.f3 g3 {Now the White king is trapped on the back rank.} 41.b6 Rd8 {This is the winning move. Rooks belong behind passed pawns. The win comes remarkably quickly.} 42.Rc6 Nd6 43.Rc7 {43.Rc5 Nb7 44.Rxe5 d3 45.Re1 d2 46.Rd1 Rd3 White is in zugzwang, where any move loses.} Rb8 44.Rc6 Nf5 45.Re6 Ne3 {Here Bareyev resigned, having calculated the rest.} 46.Rxe5 Rxb6 47.Re4 Rb1 48.Rxd4 Nd1 {And Nf2+ follows.} 0-1 [Event "Tilburg"] [Site "?"] [Date "1991.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Bareyev"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "96"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Be2 O-O 6.Nf3 e5 7.d5 a5 8.Be3 Ng4 9.Bg5 f6 10.Bh4 Na6 {The knight's future is on c5, which aims at White's center, especially e4.} 11.Nd2 h5 {This was a fairly new move at the time.} 12.a3 Bd7 13.h3 {13.O-O was more accurate.
