⚫️Kriebel,T (2515)
🔸0-1

32.f6? [White should not be in a rush to advance his kingside pawns. The text move makes the e6–square weak. He could have obtained a huge advantage with the following continuation:]

[32.Qc4!‚ Rxg3 (32...Qd8 33.Bf4! △Q×a4 33...d3 34.Qxa4 Rb5 35.Kh1!+–) 33.hxg3 Qxe5 34.f6! △Qf7 34...gxf6 35.Qf7+ Bg7 36.Qd7!±]

32...Qe8 [¹32...Qe6! 33.Qc4 d3 34.Rd2 Qxc4 35.Rxc4 Ne6!µ]

33.Qc4 Ne6? [33...Qe6!³ △d3 would be correct.]

34.Qxa4 Re3 35.Qb5? [35.Rf3 Rxe4 36.Qb5! Qg6 37.Qxb7 Nxe5™ 38.fxg7 Bxg7 39.Rf6! Nd8™ 40.Rxg6 Nxb7 41.Rxg7+ Kxg7 42.Bxe5+ Rxe5 43.Rc7+ Kg6 44.Rxb7±]

35...d3!=
