29.Bd1!
Black's problems are obvious. His two knights β both the 'bad' one and the 'good' one β are in a kind of impasse.
29...Ra3?!
The final oversight in a very difficult position.
30.g3 Nh5 31.Qb2 Qa8
Alas, the control of the a-file is of no importance.
32.Bxh5 Bxe3 33.Rxe3 gxh5 34.Kg2
The exchange of a couple of pairs of minor pieces has not brought Black any relief. To his 'bad' knight has been added a catastrophic weakening of the pawns covering his king.

15.a4
Playing for a bind and to restrict the opponent's possibilities. White is threatening also to play h2-h3, and so Browne tries to improve the placing of his minor pieces, before he becomes too cramped.
15...Ng4 16.Nb5 Bb7 17.e4 a6 18.Na3!
With the intention of creating a striking force with Nc4 and Bc3, exploiting the fact that the black bishop is not on the long diagonal. White's advantage is becoming increasingly obvious β in the words of Nikitin, 'he has succeeded in consistently accumulating small positional pluses'.

πΈJune's Titled Tuesday was a fantastic success for Iranian players.
πΈAs evidenced by their success in the 2016 Olympiad and the emergence of prodigies like GM Alireza Firouzja, Iran is becoming quite a strong chess country.
πΈ With two trips (top male and top female) to the Chess.com Isle of Man International up for grabs, Iranians took home both. GM Pouria Darini and WGM Mitra Hejazipour were the victors.
