White to move
Imprisoning three black pieces on a6, a8 and b8.
1...Bb7 2.Qd3 Re8 3.Rfd1
Overprotecting the crucial d6-pawn.
3...Re6 4.Ne1! Qg6 5.Qg3!
Very clever. It is worth a pawn to swap off Black's active pieces, so that he is left with only bad ones.
5...Qxg3
5...Qxe4? 6.Bf3 +-
6.hxg3 Bxe4 7.Bf3! Bxf3 8.gxf3 e4 9.f4
Despite his minus pawn, White is winning.
9...bxa3 10.bxa3 f5 11.Nc2 Kf7 12.Ne3 g6 13.g4!
Opening a new front on the kingside.
13...fxg4 14.Nxg4 h5 15.Ne5+ Ke8 16.Kh2 g5 17.Kg3 gxf4+ 18.Kxf4 Rf6+ 19.Kxe4 Rxf2 20.Rg1 Bxd6 21.Nxd6+ Kf8 22.Raf1
White soon won.
