Grunfeld Exchange[D85]
2nd UNAM Open Section I 2012 Mexico City MEX (9.6), 25.11.2012
White played enterprising chess and gambited his e-pawn early for compensation. Eventually black consolidated.

Critical Position
White has just played 34.fg. Things look bleak for white. How should black close out the game?
