Paulics,P(1765)-Yip,M(1993)

I contributed a win on board 2.

The opening was a closed Sicilian which started nicely for me but I later completely misplayed. White chances to kill me but did not capitalize. Later, with some forcing play white made a big kingside push but did not get anywhere. Late in the game white allowed a counterattack in time trouble and I was able to win with command of the long a8-h1 diagonal and the bishop pair in a direct attack.

After 49.Bh4(diagram) white’s king was fully exposed.

After 49.Bh4 Paulic-Yip

I continued with 49..Bc6+ and on 50.Kg1 Qd5 white could not resist on the long diagonal.

Later in the attack phase, after 56.Bxf5(diagram), black’s Q+BB were too strong against white’s Q+BB.

. After 56.Bxf5 Paulic-Yip

Black found the forced mate starting with 56..Qg2+! 57.Ke1 Qd2+ 58.Kf1 Bg2+ 0-1(59.Kg1 Be3#)
