“My dad sacrificed many things in life for me. He abandoned a very promising and lucrative career of an army officer just so that he could continue helping me with my chess and accompanying me to tournaments.”

⚪️Theodorou,Nikolas (2539)
⚫️Perelshteyn,E (2493)
🔸1-0

27...Nd6?? [Perelshteyn has completely neglected the opponent's next move. He could have obtained a winning position by taking the bishop on f4.]

[27...exf4! 28.Bb1 △Qd3 28...Qc3! 29.Rb3 Qd4 30.Rd3 (30.Qc2? Rfe8 31.Qxh7+ Kf8–+) 30...Qa1 31.Ra2 Qe5 32.gxf4 Qxf4 33.Rg3+ Kh8 34.Qc2 Qh6 35.Qxc4 Rg8! 36.Qe4 Qxh5–+ △R×d5]

28.Bb1! Qc3 [28...Nxb7?? 29.Qc2+–]

29.Rb3 Qc4™ 30.Rxe5?! [White unnecessarily complicates the game.]

[¹30.Bxe5! Bxe5 31.Rxe5±]

30...Bxe5 31.Bxe5 Rfe8? [31...f5!= △Qg4]

32.Bf6!+–

21.Ng5! [A typical maneuver to transfer the knight to the c5–square, putting more pressure on Black's position.]

[21.Ra4 Re8 22.Rb4 Bc8 23.Qe5 Re6 24.Qf4 Rxe1+ 25.Nxe1 f6 26.Nd3±; 21.Nd2 Rd7 22.b3 Rc7 23.Qf4 Rd7 24.Nf3 Rb8 (24...Bxb3 25.Ne5 Rd6 26.Rab1 Bd5 27.c4 f6 28.Nxg6 hxg6 29.cxd5+–) 25.Ne5 Rd6 26.b4 Rc8 27.Re3 b6 28.h4 f6 29.Nd3±]

21...Re8 22.Ne4 Rdd8 23.Nc5 Bc8 24.Qg3 Rd6 25.Re3± [If Black is forced to push his e-pawn to e6, the bishop on c8 will get even worse.]

½–½
