Move of the Day!

Very methodical move order under pressure by this young prodigy, named Artemiev. In this end game he had 1 pawn + bishop and 1 Rook; his opponent 1 pawn and 1 Rook. How to convert this bishop's up advantage into a win?
Here's the answer...

GM Artemiev vs GM Matlakov (endgame)

🔸Tournament of Peace 2018
🔸Round 8
⚪️Kozul,Z (2612)
⚫️Zelcic,R (2508)
🔸0-1

19.Nf5?! [Thanks to the opponent's weak king and his uncoordinated pieces White is still better, but the following continuation would be much better:]

[19.Qd1! Qd8™ (19...a6? 20.Nc3! Qd6 21.Qg4+ Kh8 22.Nf5 Qe6 23.Nxd5‚) 20.Nxa7! △Nac6 20...Rc4 21.Nac6 Rxa1™ (21...Qe8? 22.Qg4+ Kh8 23.Rxa8 Qxa8 24.Qxd7+–) 22.Nxd8 Rxb1 23.Qxb1 Rxd4 24.exd5±]

19...Rab8! [19...Rcb8? 20.Qd1! Qd8 21.Qxd5 Ne5 22.Qxd8 Rxd8 23.Nc7 Rab8 24.Nd5!±]

20.Qxd5 Ne5! [△Qc5]

21.Qa2 Qc5=
