It's necessary to remove the bishop from c4. 22... h5f3 [%c_effect f3;square;f3;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 23. d1f3  23... b4c2  24. e3c2  24... c7c4  25. c2e3  25... c4d4  26. e1d1  26... d4c5 [%c_effect c5;square;c5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 27. e3f5 White is winning now. 27... e7g5  28. h2h4  28... g5f6  29. a3c3  29... c5a5  30. g2g3  30... f4d5 A desperate attempt to complicate the game. 31. c3a3  31... a5c5  32. d1c1  32... c5b6  33. e4d5 White is a piece up, and the rest is simple. 33... b6b2
