17.Kf1 Again, an almost forced move. If White wouldn't have released his Bishop, Black could have captured it by attacking it once more with Qe7, and White cannot manage to protect it from a secure position. 17.Qe7 18.Qd1 Rac8 19.Bd3 Bc6 20.Qd2 Bd5 21.f3 Until now, both sides have rearranged their pieces. Actually, Black has occupied the two opened files "e" and "c", the Bishop from d5 has an excellent position, obstructing the pawn "d4" and if White wouldn't move, let's say, Black would advance his "a" and "b" pawns, in order to obtain a free pawn on the queenside. To establish a connection between his rooks (another big "minus" in white's position) and to put his King under protection, White had to make a "window" by moving "f3". Otherwise he would have been blocked, with all of his pieces on defending positions. 21.Qh4 Here, far more stronger would have been 21.Qe3 for example 22.Qxe3 Rxe3 23.Rd1 Rxd3!! 24.Rxd3 Rc2! and White is lost! I must admit that I omitted this move, but anyway my move is strong too. The main target is to make the opponent's King much weaker. For example, if White plays 22.g3, then 22.Qh3+ 23.Qg2 Qh6, with the idea Re8-e3-f3 22.Qf2 Qf4 White blocked the refuge "f2" for his King, so Black can retreat, taking under control the filed for the white queen,"d2". White is more and more jammed. Hey, I forgot to mention a very important thing: When you have such a position, be patient!!! You have been active for 20 moves; it is time to play positional and preventive. The opponent's single chance is to complicate the position. The proper plan is to jam his pieces as much as possible, and to determine other weaknesses too, or if the opponent manages to defend himself, begin to attack on the opposite side (on the queenside are 2 black pawns against an only white one). 23.Re1 White is overwhelmed. In a bad position, he makes a mistake. 23.Rxe1 24.Qxe1 Bxd4 The pawn "d4" is not so important. More important is that the defender of the field "c1" is diverted. Black has a forced win, because his major pieces get in the opponent's position.
