Pawn sacrifice and active king

Pawn sacrifice and active king

In round 8 I played my 3rd game against the 12 years old Greek talent Antonios Gkavardinas. 

He made a new move compared to our 1st game. He played c6 instead of Nh5 to catch my f4 bishop. I used the similar b4-b5 pawn sacrifice theme like in my other 2 games in the tourney:  

Queens gambit victory against Gkavardinas Antonios

The middlegame was very sharp, but after a few mistakes I got a much better endgame. I had a centralized king and a c7 passed pawn. He also had 2 passed pawns so it was not clear how good my position is. I found the way to activate my king even more: 

 

In the morning I ran in the forest. I was so peaceful and beautiful. I suggest you to join me next time!
