Black sacrificed a pawn for which he has compensation - he has the bishops and Black's king seems to be safer. However, Black's next move is a blunder that gives White a clear advantage. 18...Nb4?! Not the best. A better try was 18...Bxf5 19.exf5 Kf8 20.Re1 Rd8 though Black has to work to prove adequate compensation for the pawn. 19.Qe5!
Threatening mate with 20.Qe8 and to win the queen with 20.Ne7+. 19...Bxf5 20.exf5 Qd8 20...Nxa2? 21.c3 traps the knight. but 20...Rd8± might have been better. 21.Qe4 Nxd3 22.Nxd3 c6 23.Re1
White consolidated and is clearly better. 23...Bd4 24.c3 Bf6 25.Kc2 g6 26.Nc5 White's knight is much better than Black's bishop. Qa5 27.Nxb7 Qxa2 28.Qxc6 Kg7 29.fxg6 hxg6
White is two pawns up and his king is not really in danger - White is winning! 30.Re8 Rxe8 31.Qxe8 a5 32.Nc5 Qd5 33.Ne4 Bd8 34.Nd2 f5 35.Qe3 Bf6 36.f4 Kh6 37.Qd3 Qc6 38.Qc4 Qb7 39.Qe6 Kg7 40.Nc4 a4 41.Nd6 Qg2+ 42.Kb1 1–0
