Rad1 Rfd8 18. Qf3 Nf6 19. Qg3 c5 20. Nf3 Rac8 21. Qh2 $6 b5 {my only way to have winning chances is to evoke the minority attack.} 22. dxc5 Qxc5 23. Rd4 Rxd4 24. Nxd4 Nd5 { here I thought for 15 min. on b4 - I knew it's a good move, but didn't see anything concrete. my intuition betrayed me.} (24... b4 25. Nb3 Qc4 26. cxb4 Qxb4 {and black is slightly better, due to the weak b pawn.}) 25. Qe5 Qe7 $4 {why it always happens to me??} 26. Nb3 $4 {miracle.} Nf6 27. Rd1 Rd8 28. Rxd8+ Qxd8 29.

Nd4 b4 35. a3 bxa3 36. bxa3 {very dangerous practical endgame, with the outside passed pawn. as Botvinnik said - knight endgames are pawn endgames.} Nb6 37. f4 {Kf1. better not to advance the pawns so they'll be less vulnerable and it'll be hard to exchange them.} Kf8 38. Kf2 Ke8 39. g4 Kd7 40. Kf3 Kd6 41. Ke4 {the drawing theme is basically to prevent his king from invasion.} Kc5 42. Nf3 f6 43. h4 Nc4 44. Nd4 Nd6+ 45. Kd3 Kd5 46. a4 e5 {Nb7 was better.} 47. fxe5 fxe5 $2 {I was scared, in time trouble, to make the correct Kxe5.} 48. Nf5 {I thought that I'm lost - but found drawing idea.} e4+ 49. Ke2 Ne8 $1 50. Ke3 $2 {a5 would caused me more problems.} (50. a5 Nf6 51. g5 hxg5 52. hxg5 Kc6 $1) 50... Nf6 51. Kf4 g5+ 52. hxg5 hxg5+ 53. Kxg5 Nxg4 $1 54. Kxg4 Kc4 { and he is one tempo short to come to b2 or c3. protecting the pawn from the front is a draw, as I would just harass the knight. draw agreed.} 1/2-1/2
