(3) Johansson,J - Scarff,S [C00]
Midwinter Open 2001


1.e4 e6 2.d3 c6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nbd2 Nf6 5.g3 Be7 6.Bg2 0-0 7.0-0 b5 8.b3 Qb6 9.Qe2 d4 10.Bb2 c5 11.a4 bxa4 12.Rxa4 Nc6 13.Nc4 Qc7 14.Rfa1 Bb7 15.Na5 Nxa5 16.Rxa5 a6 17.Nd2 e5 18.Nc4 Nd7 19.Bf1 f6 20.Qg4 Kh8 21.Qe6 Nb8 22.Nb6 Ra7 23.Nd5 Bxd5 24.Qxd5 Bd8? 25.Rxc5 Qe7 26.Ba3 Qd7 27.Qc4 Rf7 28.Rd5 Qe8 29.Bd6 Bc7 30.Bc5 Rb7 31.Bh3 Bb6 32.Bxb6 Rxb6

Now 33.Rc5 wins the a-pawn because of the weakness of Black's backrank, e.g. 33.Rc5 Nc6 34.Rxa6 etc. 1-0
