15... Nb7 16.Nf1 Ne8!?

a useful, waiting move

( a5 17.g4 ( 17.Ng3!? 17... Bd8 18.Bd2 Ra6 19.Qe2 Rba8 20.a4 bxa4 21.Ra3 Bb5 22.Rea1 g6 23.Be3 Nd7 24.Nf1 Nb6 25.N1h2 h5 26.Nf1 axb4 27.cxb4 Qd7 28.Bc1 Rc8 29.Ne3 Qe8 30.Nd1 Bd7 31.Be3 f5 32.exf5 gxf5 33.Nc3 Qe7 34.h4 Qg7 35.Ng5 Qg6 36.b5 1-0 36 Lueddeckens,H 2279-Malyshev,V 2132 ICCF email 2011)17...

17.Be3 a5 18.a3 Ra6 19.Qc1 Rba8 20.N3h2 Nd8 21.g4 g6 22.Ng3 f6!

a typical regrouping move for Black

23.Kg2 Nf7 24.Ra2 Qb8 ( axb4 25.cxb4 Bd8 26.Ne2 Qb8 27.Nc3 Bb6 =/+ )

25.Bb1 Bd8! 26.Rae2 Bb6 27.Bd2 axb4 28.axb4 Ra1 29.Qc2

now Black slowly brings his pieces to the kingside.

29... Ng7 30.Bc1 Qc8! 31.Bb2 R1a7 32.Qd1 Kh8 ( h5!? 33.Rc2 hxg4 ( h4 34.Ngf1 f5) 34.hxg4 Ng5! 35.f3 f5 36.exf5 gxf5 37.Rd2 Qf8)

33.Rd2 Qd8 ( h5 34.Rh1 h4 35.Ngf1 f5)

34.Rh1 Qe7 35.Nhf1 Rg8 36.Rh2 h5!

the time is ripe for a breakthrough!

( f5 37.exf5 gxf5 38.Kh1 Qh4)

37.gxh5 ( 37.Kh1 h4 38.Ne2 f5! )

37... gxh5 38.Kh1 h4 39.Nf5 ( 39.Ne2 Ng5 40.Ng1 Qf7 41.Bc1 Nh5 42.Rb2 Nxh3 43.Nxh3 Bg4! 44.f3 Bxh3 45.Rxh3 Rg1+ 46.Kh2 Qg6 -+ )

39... Nxf5 40.exf5 Ng5 41.Rg2 Qh7! attacking the weak f5 pawn.

42.Qg4 Be8! with the deadly threat of Be8-h5 then Bf3!   

43.Nh2 Rag7 44.f4 Bh5 45.fxg5 Bxg4 46.g6 Bxh3 47.gxh7 Bxg2+ 48.Rxg2 Rxg2 49.hxg8=R+ Rxg8 50.Nf3 Rg3 51.Be4 Rg4 52.Bc2 e4 53.Nd4 Bxd4 54.cxd4 e3

White's king is cut off while his bishops are helpless against the Black's passed pawns & the rook, so White resigned.
