R-B now, Black is in trouble.} 12. Re1 $2 b6 { Now things are as they should be.} 13. cxd5 Nxd5 14. Qa4 Bb7 15. Rad1 Rac8 16. Nc4 h6 17. Nce5 a6 18. Nxc6 Rxc6 19. Ne5 Rc7 20. Qb3 b5 {It is becoming evident that Black will use his Q4 square as a pivot to gain space on the Q side. If White can restrain Black's attack on the QB file by trading off pieces, Black will march his K to Q4 for an endgame advantage. White tries a K-side attack, which is doomed to failure due to Black's ability to travel through the center with his pawns.} 21. Bh3 Kh8 22. Qd3 Nb6 23. Ng6+ fxg6 24. Rxe6 Qd7 25. Qxg6 Qd5 $1 26. f3 Qxf3 27. Rf1 Qh1+ 28. Kf2 Qxh2+ 29. Ke3 Nd5+ { This game illustrates the concept of over-protection of one of the center squares.} {#R} 0-1
