A priority for Black is to control e5. He has just played ... Rh6-e6, with the idea of driving the White Knight from its advanced post. Instead of reacting logically with Pf4 White suddently begins to play timidly} 25. Nd3 (25. f4 { Logically securing e5}) 25... Ba6 26. Rb1 $2 (26. Nf4 Bxf4 27. gxf4 Bc4 28. b4 {The White Bishop pair will become formidable}) 26... Bc4 27. Nc1 $2 { Clearly played to keep the Black pieces out of b3; but after the game Janowsky himself did not know why he had not played Pb4 or Nf4instead} 27... Be5 28. Bxe5 Rxe5 { Despite White's sequence of time moves his position is still good for a draw} 29. b3 $2 (29. Nd3) (29. Bf1) 29... a5 $1 30. a4 Kf8 31. Nd3 {At last} 31... Bxd3 32. Rxd3 c4 33. Rc3 $2 (33. Rdd1 {not played in fear of ... cb or ... Pc3} 33... cxb3 (33... c3 34. Rdc1 Rc8 35. Kf1 { The c-pawn is more of a liability than an asset}) 34. Rd3 Rb4 35. Rdxb3 Rxa4 36. Rb8+ Kf7 37. Ra8 {White soons wins the a-pawn}) 33... Re6 $1 34. Rbc1 (34. -- Reb6) 34... Rxb3 35. Rxb3 cxb3 36. Rb1 Rb6 37. Bf1 Rb4 (37... -- 38. Bb5) 38. Bb5 Nc8 39. Kf1 Nd6 40. Bd3 Nc4 41.
