Qxb6 c4 {and the threat of trapping white's queen gives black full compensation.} ) 13.Rac1 Qb8 {Now there isn't a lot in it, but white's position is definitely easier to play.} 14.h3 Rc8 15.Rc2 Ne4 {Black forces exchanges to relieve the queenside pressure.} 16.Rfc1 Nxc3 17.Rxc3 Qd6 18. Rxc8+ Rxc8 19.Rxc8+ Bxc8 20.Qa4 Qd7 21.Qc2 f6 {This keeps the knight out of e5 (for the moment!) but creates white square weaknesses around black's king.} 22.e4 $6 {Maybe a bit premature.} 22...dxe4 23.Qxe4 Qd5 24.Qg6 Bd7 25.Bd3 {It looks like white's pieces are gathering threateningly around black's king, but it's difficult to see a killer blow.} 25...Kf8 26.Qh7 f5 27.Qh8+ Kf7 28.Ne5+ {Very tempting, but the best plan was 28.Qb8 aiming to harass the queenside pawns.} 28...Kf6 29.Qh7 $2 {Jack tries to attack, but his pieces aren't supported well enough and this just loses.} 29...Qxd4 30.Ng4+ fxg4 31.Qg6+ Ke5 32.Qxg7+ Bf6 {After the game, Jack said that he missed this move, which keeps black a piece up.} 33.Qg6 Bc6 34.Qh5+ Bg5 35.Qg6 Qd5 36.Qg7+ Bf6 37.Qc7+ Qd6 38.Qh7 Qd7 39.hxg4 {If} ( 39.Qg6 Qg7 { forces off the queens anyway.} ) 39...Qxh7 40.Bxh7 Kf4 {The endgame is an easy win for black.} 41.f3 Bxb2 42.Bg8 Bd5 43.a4 a6 44.Bf7 Bd4+ 45.Kh2 b5 46.Be8 b4 47.Bg6 Ba2 48.Bd3 a5 49.Be4 b3 50.g3+ Ke3 51.Kg2 b2 52.Kf1 b1=Q+ 53.Bxb1 Bxb1 {Jack resigns. Black will pick up the a-pawn and queen his own. A very good display from Jack - his attacking efforts deserved better.} 0-1
