43... Qd5+??
The young Georgian player was only one step away from a deserved victory:
43... Qb8! 44. h4 b1=Q 45. hxg5+ Kxg5 46. Qe3+ Qf4 -+
44.f3 Kh7 45. Qxb2 +/=

Thanks to his active pieces and queenside pawn majority, White has a better position.
39. c5!
Pouria exploits his advantage masterly.

A subtle technique to win the game.

37. Qxg4??
A blunder that costs White the game.

12...h5!
White hoped, after the natural 12...Nf6, to release his position with 13.f3. The move 12...h5 plays against this idea.
13.Nc3
In the case of 13.f3 h4 14.fxe4 hxg3 15.hxg3 Rh2, White is in trouble. That's the difference between playing 12...h5 and 12...Nf6. Now White has to abandon the idea of playing f2-f3.
If White tries to keep the h-file closed with 13.h4, his plan of f2-f3 will still be impossible, since the g-pawn hangs after ...Bd6.
13...Nf6 14.d3 h4 15.gxh4?! Rxh4

24.Qd1!!
White tries to eliminate his opponent's counterplay. What does Black have to do?
24...Rc4?!
This is the decisive moment of the game. Better is 24...Rb2.
25.Nxc5! dxc5?! 26.Qf3 Re7 27.Qf6 Rd4 28.Be3 Rd3 29.Rae1+/-.
