Nisch vs Woog Finish

Nisch - Woog

Result: 1-0

Site: Leipzig

Date: 1934

[...] 1.♗xf6 This move wins easily. Going after the P on d3 would be a mistake. (1.♖xd3 bxa4 2.♖d4 ♗c6 and black has full equality.) 1...♗xf6 (1...gxf6 also loses after 2.♕h6 ♗f8 3.♕xf6 ♗g7 4.♕xf7+ ♔h8) 2.♖xf6 If white does not find this move black would stand better! This move accomplishes two purposes: it removes a defender and it breaches the K's wall of Ps.
2.♖xd3 bxa4 black's piece activity assures him of an advantage. 3.♖xd6 ♕c5 4.♖d1 ♖ab8
2...gxf6 Black is now completely lost. 3.♕h6 There is no satisfactory way to meet the threat of Nh5. 3...♖c5 After this black can meet 4.Nh5 with 4...Rxh5! after which it's black who would be winning. 4.♗d5 this brilliant move blocks the R and there is no defense against Nh5. White has a mate in 5. (4.♗d5 ♖xc3 5.♘h5 ♕xf2+ 6.♔xf2 ♖c2+ 7.♔f3 ♖f2+ 8.♔xf2 exd5 9.♕g7#)
4.♘h5 ♖xh5 5.♕xh5 bxa4 6.♕f3 ♗c6 7.♖b1 (7.♕xd3 ♕xb2 Black is winning.) 7...♕b7 8.♕xf6 ♗xe4 with a won ending.
