I start to add tension with...} Rab8 {... planning to double my rooks on the b-file and even add my queen on the b-file if needed. As a side note, 18...h5 is also good here, because 19.Qxh5 Bxd5 and there is even more tension on the b pawn from my black bishop} 18.Rab1 Rb6 19.Re3 Rcb8 20.Bc1 Be7 {Now because the b pawn is pinned to the rook, white thinks he has to do something about his a pawn. Seems logical, right? Well in reality, he really doesn't have anything to worry about because of the move Nxd5. This is a weird looking move that I didn't see until the computer analyzed it, and it definitely is a "computer move" in terms of complexity. The whole line goes as follows: 20...Be7 21.Rg3 g6 22.Bf4 R8b7 23.Bc1 Bxa3 24.Nxd5 exd5 25.Qxd7 Rxd7 26.Rxa3 and the position is equal. Very complex indeed and I'm not surprised neither of us saw it OTB. Anyway, simply adding enough tension caused him to crack and make a fatal mistake by pushing the b pawn.} 21.b3 cxb3 22.cxb3 Rxb3 23.Rxb3 Rxb3 24.Rg3 g6 25.Ne2 {Here I should have played Rb1 pinning the bishop to the king and generally putting pressure on white, and the rest of the game is simply exchanging into a winning endgame until my opponent blunders his bishop and resigns} Bxe2 26.Qxe2 Rxg3 27.fxg3 Qa4 28.Kh2 Bxa3 29.Bh6 Bf8 30.Qe5 Bxh6 31.g4 Bg7 32.Qb8+ Bf8 0-1
