Qd2?! { White misjudges the position. Black wants ...c6-c5 to undermine the center, but White would have more activity with queens off the board. } (32. Rh1 c5 33. dxc5 Qxc5 34. Qxc5+ Bxc5 35. Ng5) 32... c5 33. dxc5 Qxc5 34. Ng5 { With queens still on the board, ...Nf6-e4 kills White's plan on Black's weakest pawn. } 34... Ne4 35. Nxe4 dxe4 { An instructive position: Black's pawn structure is damaged, but all of White's pieces are passive. As a result, Black can think of using the bishop to coordinate attacks on the dark squares, essentially leaving him piece-up for practical purposes. } 36. Qd1 Rd8 37. Qb3 Qc1 { Black's pieces are entering the building! } 38. Qc4 Rd1 39. Qxc1 Rxc1 40. Rh1 Bf6 { Even without queens, Black's pieces pose a number of practical issues. } 41. g4 hxg3 42. Rh6 Rf7 43. Bg2 Rc2 44. Bxe4 Rxb2+ 45. Ka1 Rf2+ 46. Rxf6 { There are no cheapos here, even after } 46... Rxf6 47. Rh7 Kb6 48. Rxb7+ { and White resigns after } 48... Ka5 49. Rg7 Rh6 50. Rxg3 Rhh2 51. Bb1 Rh1 52.
