Keeping the tension looked better to me, now White has less problems.} 14.dxe4 f4 15.Bb3 {trying to exchange Black's good piece} Qd7 16.Bxe6+ Qxe6 17.b3 Rfd8 18.Qe2 (18.Qc2) (18.Ba3) 18...Bf6 19.Ba3 Rd7 20.Rad1 Rad8 21.Nb1 (21.Nc4 {This is of course more active but after b5 Black gets the initiative and it wasn't clear where the knight will finally go to.} b5 22.Nb2 Rxd1 23.Rxd1 Rxd1+ 24.Qxd1) 21...g5 22.Nh2 (22.Rd2 g4 23.hxg4 Qxg4 {hmm, the computer thinks there is nothing wrong with it but the open file must be much better for Black?!} 24.Rfd1 Rxd2 25.Rxd2) 22...Nc8 23.Ng4 Bg7 24.Rd2 Rxd2 25.Nxd2 Qd7 26.Nb1 {looks ugly, I know, but Black will play Qd3 so White has to do something.} Qd3 27.Qxd3 Rxd3 28.f3 Kf7 29.Nf2 Rd7 30.Rd1 Rxd1+ 31.Nxd1 Bf8 32.Bxf8 Kxf8 33.Nf2 Kf7 34.Ng4 h5 35.Nf2 Nd6 36.Kf1 Ke6 37.Ke2 Ne7 38.Nd3 b6 39.Kd2 (39.c4 {this was tempting all the time but Black will get the d4 square for the knight. On the other hand White has nothing if I don't push any of the pawns.}) 39...g4 40.hxg4 hxg4 41.fxg4?? {I have completely overlooked that the e-pawn is now hanging. } (41.Ke1) (41.Ke2) (41.Nf2 g3 42.Nd3) 41...Nxe4+ 42.Ke2 Nf6 43.Nd2 (43.Nf2 {hmm, why did I think that this doesn't work?}) 43...Nxg4 44.g3 fxg3 45.Kf3 Nf2 46.Nxf2 gxf2 47.Kxf2 Kf5 48.Kf3 Nd5 49.Ne4 Nf6 50.Ng3+ Ke6 51.Ne2 b5 52.Ng3 Kd5 53.Nf1 Kc5 54.Nd2 b4 55.cxb4+ Kxb4 (55...Kd4) 56.Nc4 e4+ 57.Kf4 Nd5+ 58.Kxe4 Nc3+ 59.Kd3 Nxa2 60.Kc2 Nc3 61.Nb2 Nb5 62.Nd3+ Ka3 63.Nc5 {This is a draw now.} a5 64.Ne6 (64.Na6 Nd4+ 65.Kc3) 64...Ka2 65.Nc5 c6 66.Ne6 Ka3 67.Nc5 Kb4 68.Nd3+ Ka3 69.Nc5 Nd4+ 70.Kc3 Nb5+ 71.Kc2 {And soon the draw was agreed.
