I blundered in the endgame, and somewhere else. Still, it is worth considering some tricky position in the middlegame. As I start to do as a rule, I withdraw the player's name because I didn't ask for permission to annotate the game. |

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5
|
The dangerous Budapest. I am exploring it, but I am still not convinced. |

3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Nf3

You can trhow the check in now, but it doesn' make much difference. Still, it is better to do it inmediately, to stop the white queen's excursion to d4 or d5. |

4... Nc6 5. Bf4 Bb4+ 6. Nbd2 Qe7
|
This bishop is doomed, but it can always take the knight. |
|
| |
|
|
7. e3 Ncxe5
|
No need to take BxN at once, unless white wastes a move forcing me. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. Be2
|
Now, I have to state that all this was for something. I am still far from castling... queenside! |
|

|
9... d6 10. O-O g5
|
The fisrt shot. |

pawn or queen? The queen in e5 is very well placed, and threats b2 (the bishop can be saved after Qxb2, Rb1, Qc6, etc... or so I thought). |
|
| |
|
|
11... Qxe5
|
Taking with the pawn would have provided a nice d open column, but probably I couldn't have used it for castling anymore, and... my kingside is to attack. |

At least. I could have retired the bishop, but I didn't want to provide so much space to white pursuing it with the pawns. |

|
12... Bxd2 13. Qxd2 h5
|
Just throwing it there. |

Good for him AND for me... interesting. |
|

|
|
14... gxf4 15. exf4 Qc5+
|
This check would be absolutely correct, and without it, I would have lost sooner. |

Maybe wiser Bf5. Definitely. |
|

17. f5
|
the right one. |
|
| |
|
|
17... Bxf5
|

Uh-oh... look at the only place for the queen... |
|

|
|
18... Qe5
|
A lot of tactic here... wait. |

White thinks it is so easy to throw a rook on e1 and win... but... |
|
| |
|
|
19... Qd4
|
Now, if Re1+, Be6. But white went... |
