...28.P takes Kt

Black would have done better not to take the Knight, but to play 28. ... Kt to Kt sq.

29.Kt takes P29.Kt to K sq. (!)

(As pointed out above, if Black had made what seems to be the obvious move, viz., to defend the R P with 29.... Kt to Kt sq., White would win with 30. Q to Kt 3 and mate to follow at Kt 7 with the Queen.)

30.Q takes P: ch.30.K to Kt sq.
31.Q to Kt 5: ch.31.K to R 2

And the game is drawn by White giving "Perpetual check." That is the utmost he can hope, being a piece minus.

Second Variation.

First three moves as before.
