📘 62...Rd3!

The right decision! Black should keep the rooks in the game otherwise he won't be able to make any improvement in his position. After the trade of the rooks, White will play gxh4 and then keep his bishop on the h2-b8 diagonal and the game would be a draw even if Black manages to play h4.

📘 Although the engine gives the advantage to Black, this position is drawn. Aryan tried his best chance by getting the g1-a7 diagonal from White's bishop.
97.Bc1?? And finally Hammer made his blunder!
97...Ke2! -+
The best square for the king and now Rxg3 is coming.
98.Bf4 Rf3 (h4) 99.Kg1 R5×f4 100.g×f4 g3 0-1

On move 97, White had to stop Ke2 with 97.Ra1! and now if Ke2 98.Ra2+
And the game was draw.

With the idea of trading the bad bishop with the good bishop.

📘 White didn't manage to create a good attack in the kingside, and he ended up having his pieces close to each other with no harmony. On the other hand, Black's progress in the queenside was excellent, and now he is activating his last piece and ready to enter to the Black's camp.
23...Rc8! With the idea of Rc2.

1.Nd1! The knight is a great blockading piece, and is heading to e3. In general, White has a really long-term idea, to play g4!
It would open the position of his own king, so it needs huge preparation. However we will see in the game how
effective it can be if White pushes it at the right moment.

2.b4! White fixes the Black pawn on b5, which will become a target very soon and will cause a lot of trouble for Black.
