  al wazir: 26...Rxc1.

27. Bxd4 (27. Bxc1/Rxc1 Qxb3+ 28. Kd2 Nxf3+) Qxb3+ 28. Ke2 Qxd1+ 29. Kf2 Bxd4+ 30. Kg2 Qxf1+ 31. Ke3 Be5+.

The best white can do is draw by perpetual check: 27. Rxg7+ Kxg7 28. Qh6+ Kg8 29. Qg6+, Kf8 etc.

If instead 30. Rxc1, then 31...Qxb3+ 32. Kxd4 c5+ 33. Kd5 Qd3+ 34. Bd4 Qxd4#.

Mercedes broke through. Roela is broken.

Jul-16-19  AlicesKnight: To survive, Roela must use his Mercedes Cruz control.....
Jul-16-19  Nosnibor: <AlicesKnight> Roela is a lady not a man. !

Black can press the attack with <23...Na5.>. The threat is 24...Nxb3 25.Nxb3 Ra2+, and there's not a loot White can do about it: 24.Qd3 Ba4! or 24.Qe1 Nxb3! 25.Nxb3 Rxb3 26.Kxb3 Qa3+ 27.Kc2 Ba4+ 28.Kb1 Qb3+ 29.Ka1 B-anywhere and ...Ra8#.

After 23...Nb5, White might be best advised to go for the game line and try to get a perpetual check with Qh2, Rxh7, Rxg7+, etch.
