I Annotate this game for two reasons: 1: I won for the first time over a 2110 rated guy 2: I kinda feel like Mikhail Tal and all of those grand masters who sacrifice in this game. you will see what I mean later on. |

1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5
|
So it's a Ruy Lopez. |

3... a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6
|
Once black plays d6 it is a classical variation. I know some players who are as high rated as this guy who don't like to play black in this position because they feel like a target to white. But this position has been played by the best players in the world so it's nothing wrong with this position for black. |

This is the chigorin's variation. Nb8 is Keres i think. |

He played Qc7. It is a playable move. There are other moves in this position as well. |

11. h3
|
Just preventing the Bishop to come to g4 pinning the knight and putting pressure on d4. |
|

11... O-O 12. Nbd2
|
Well here i wasn't sure how to play so i decided Nd2. I have seen games where white tries to put the b-knight all the way to g3 in this position so that's pretty much what i did. |

12... g6
|
this is a common way to play with black in this position: g6,Re8,Bf8,Bg7. |
|

|

13. Nf1
|
Just preparing to move my knight to g3. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Re8 14. Ng3
|
I believe I played wrong here since i changed my mind afterwards. i wanted to play g4 instead so i was thinking to move the knight,play g4 and then move the knight back. But that would loose time. However,then again i dont see any flaws with Ng3,it's not a bad move. |

14... Bf8 15. d5
|
Here i decided to push on with the pawn and block his Light squared bishop. I was thinking that to much pressure was on d4 since i was planning to ignore that pawn so pushing on lets me concentrate on other stuff,like how to proceed a king side attack or something. |

15... Bg7 16. Bd2
|
well as you see this move looses time... |
|
| |
|
|
16... Nc4 17. Bc1 Nb6 18. Bd2
|
I decided that i really wanted to develop the bishop somehow even if it cost me putting his knight on a better square. I was really thinking on moving the queen to c1 and have controll over the c1-h6 diagonal. |
|

|
|
18... h6
|
He probably knew that i was planning to move my queen behind my bishop and play Bh6 which could be dangerous for him. |
|
| |
|
|
19. Qc1
|
And i did it. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Kh7
|
this was the point of h6. now two pieces protects h6 and if he feels threaten, Ng8 for more protection. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Ne2
|
Here,like i said earlier, i decided to withdraw my knight,play g4 and then play it back again to g3. it can be dangerous for black. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Nc4
|
he moves back his knight. Now he wins my dark squared bishop. I didn't see that move coming and exchanging a rather passive knight for a potential dangerous dark squared bishop is a good thing i believe. Even tho black mostly plays something like Nbd7,c4,Nc5. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Kh2
|
well i couldn't do anything about Nxd2 so i decided to prepare g4. if i play g4 immediately then h5 and the h3 pawn would be hanging. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Nxd2 22. Qxd2 Bd7
|
This move connect his rooks. |
