🔸Round 5
⚪️Antipov,Mikhail Al (2593)
⚫️Vuckovic,Bojan (2588
🔸1-0

27.Ng5+!‚ The decisive, well-prepared move that puts a huge pressure over the enemy's king.

27...Kh8 Black could not take the knight for the reason below:

[27...hxg5?? 28.hxg5+ Kg7 29.Be5#]

28.b4! A restrictive move that removes the pressure from the e6–pawn.

28.Be5+! would be just as good.

28...Rg7 28...Nb7? 29.Be5+!‚ Rg7 30.Nf7+ Kg8 31.Qxh6 Qxe6 32.Ng5+–

29.bxc5 hxg5 30.hxg5+ 30.Be5!? △h×g5 30...g4 31.Qg5 Kg8 32.Bxg7 Bxg7 33.Qxe7+–

30...Kg8 31.Be5+– Black is completely helpless.

31...Rh7 32.Rxh7 Kxh7 33.Qf4 Bg7 34.Qh4+ Kg8 35.Bxg7 Kxg7 36.Re1 1–0
