Yours Truly vs Kuala Krai ChampionThis position arose from the Reti Opening after a middle-game mistake from me which cost me a pawn. Playing against a good opponent who recently won at Kuala Krai, I had to take risks in order to counter his pawn majority on the Queen-side. However, it was not easy, as his Rook was attacking my Knight. After a little while, I moved ...
28.axb5
It was not the best move, but I reckoned 'What the heck'...
28... Rxc3
He obviously wanted me to prove the soundness of my sacrifice.
29.bxa6 Rc8
The champ moved it hastily without thinking that the Rook was in the same line with his King which allowed some tactical chances. 29... Rc7 was a better try.
30.a7
The point. If the Rook was on c7 this move was not possible. Now the passed pawn guaranteed me at least a Knight.
30... Na5?
A gross blunder. In his try to save his Knight, he forgot that he did not have time to take the menacing passed pawn.
