Rxf7 28 Rxf7 Nd5 29 Rxg7+ Kf8 30 Bxd5 cxd5 In fact, black could delay taking the e4 pawn to develop his rook first: 22.. Bg4 23 Rf2 b6 24 Ref1 Bh5 25 g4 Bg6 26 h4 Rad8 27 h5 Bxe4 28 Rxf7 Rxf7 29 Rxf7 Nd5 30 Rxg7+ Kf8 31 Bxd5 Rxd5 Again, I'm not sure how white will cash in his extra pawn.

Rf2 b6, then changing target to f7, 24. Ref1 Bh5 (24...Be6 25. Bex6, 26. Rxf8+ and 27. Rd1) 25. g4 Bg6 26. h4 Bxe4 (26...h5 27. gxh5 and Rg2; 26...h6 27. h5 and Rxf7) 27. Rxf7 should be crushing. But this has to be double checked. I should add that Keres and Botvinnik mentioned 22...Bg4 23. Rf4, just I liked Rf2 better. I think 22…Bg4 23. Rf2 b6, then changing target to f7, 24.

I should add that Keres and Botvinnik mentioned 22…Bg4 23. Rf4, just I liked Rf2 better.

After 23 Rf2 Black can reply 23 ..b6 freeing up the a-file rook to reply 24 Rd2 with 24 ..Rad8 I didn’t understand why 22 ..Bg4 is not a good line for black.
