8/10/2024 – In the diagram position it was Black to move and he played 25...Rc4!, which creates a powerful threat. However, curiously, in the game Black took his time before he executed the threat. Enjoy and relax!

However, curiously, in the game Black took his time before he executed the threat. Enjoy and relax! Rc4! The rook enters the fourth rank, full of zest for action ... 26.Qe1 A nice interplay of Black's queen and rook can be seen after 26.g3 Nxg3 27.hxg3 Qxg3+ 28.Bg2 and now Rg4! 29.Qf1 Rh4! 30.Qd1 Qh2+ 31.Kf1 Rg4!-+ 26...g5 There was absolutely nothing wrong with making the next black move from the game here ... :-) 27.Kh1
Crown the game for Black!
