When Best Play Is a Blunder


Around move 30 or so I played h5 as White. Looked for all the world like a win, because I pick up Black's e6 pawn mechanically. I thought that was clever. Superior chess knowledge! But ... well, the computer knows far better. Oh well.
fantastic, this is like those tactics you only find in books
Also interesting in how after 22.c5 material is pretty much mirrored, with only bishops and starting 16 pawns remaining - yet white's good white square bishop gives large advantage over black's bad white square bishop.

The position is almost like out of hypothetical - a honour shared with SF's 32... b6 drawing plan.
Quite beautiful this. A dance on the squares haha
