Kf2 Bxd2 21.Rxb1 dxc5 Here I am winning because White's king is misplaced and I can attack his isolate pawns.} Rxb1+ 19.Kf2 {19.Nxb1 Qxe4 I am winning this position because I attack White's unprotected pieces on d4, h1 and b1.} Rb2 {I don't want to stop attacking.

After White takes my rook, material will be equal but White won't be able to defend all his isolated pawns.} 24.Kxc3 dxc5 25.Bd3 Bb7 26.Re1 Re5 {Now White can't advance his e-pawn to a square where my bishop can't attack it.} 27.a4 f5 28.Rb1 Bxe4 29.Rb6 f4 30.Rxa6 f3 31.Bf1 Bf5 32.Ra7+ Kh6 33.Kd2 f2 34.Be2 Bg4 35.Bd3 Re1 36.Rf7 Bf5 37.a5 Bxd3 38.Rxf2 Rf1 {White resigned because I will save my extra piece. If he had played on the game might have continued: 39.Rxf1 Bxf1 40.Kc3 Kg7 41.a6 Kf6 42.a7 Bg2 and my king will capture several White pawns and escort one of my own pawns to its promotion square.} 0-1 [Event "Tbilisi"] [Site "?"] [Date "1976.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Lputian"] [Black "Kasparov"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "76"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 Nc6 {White is playing to set up a solid pawn center, so I'd like to provoke him to push forward by 6.d5, when I would have a target on d5 to play against.} 6.Be3 a6 7.Qd2 Rb8 8.Rb1 O-O 9.b4 e5 {White is a long way from getting his king out of the center, so I think it's time to open things up there.} 10.d5 Nd4 {Do you see why White can't just win a pawn by taking twice on d4?} 11.Nge2 c5 {Now I'm willing to sacrifice a pawn because to win it White must give me a few open files onto his own king.} 12.dxc6 bxc6 13.Nxd4 exd4 14.Bxd4 Re8 15.Be2 {15.Bd3 d5 I want to open up the whole center before White castles.} c5 {Now I can take advantage of my rook on the b-file to open still more lines in the center.} 16.bxc5 Nxe4 17.fxe4 Qh4+ 18.g3 {18.Bf2 Bxc3 19.Bxh4 Rxb1+ 20.
