1. d4 d5
|
A double queen-pawn opening |

|
| |
|
|
2. Nc3
|
Unusual second move |

|
| |
|
|
2... c6 3. Bg5
|
Very unusual third move |

|
| |
|
|
3... Qb6
|
Probably out of the opening book already |

|
| |
|
|
4. Rb1 Bf5 5. f3 f6 6. Bh4 e5 7. e3 Bb4 8. Bd3 Ne7 9. g4 exd4

10. Bxf5 dxc3 11. Kf2 Nxf5 12. gxf5
|
Already, Black has a significant advantage. |

|

|
|
12... Bc5 13. Qd3 cxb2 14. Ne2 O-O 15. Bg3 Re8 16. Bf4 Na6 17. c3 Re7 18. Qd2 Rae8 19. Nd4 Ba3 20. Ne6
|
I should have sac-ed the exchange here. |

|
| |
|
|
20... Nc5 21. Nd4 Na4 22. Ne6 Re7xe6
|
This works also. |

|
| |
|
|
23. fxe6 Rxe6 24. c4 dxc4 25. Qd7 Re7 26. Qc8+
|
Bad move (Monkey sees check, Monkey gives check) |

|
| |
|
|
26... Kf7 27. Qg4 Nc3 28. Qh5+
|
Here we go again ... |

|
| |
|
|
28... Kg8 29. Rhg1 Nxb1 30. Rxb1 c3 31. Qf5 Qc5 32. Qc8+
|
What's up with these impotent checks? |

|
| |
|
|
32... Kf7 33. Rd1 Qc4 34. Rd8 Qe6
|
Now the white Queen is cut off. |

|
| |
|
|
35. Rf8+ Kg6
|
Finally ... no more annoying checks. |

|
| |
|
|
36. Qd8 b1=Q 37. e4
|
In this position, I should have played Qh3! and it's all over for white. During the game, I didn't realize that the rook on e7 was defended by the Bishop on a3. |

|
| |
|
|
37... Qc2+ 38. Kg3 Qe2 39. h4
|
Here, I should have played Qf1 and white can't prevent mate (either Qeh3# or Qfg1#). |

|
| |
|
|
39... c2
|
Instead, I go for 3 Queens on the board. |

The rook sac is in vain. |

|

41... gxf6 42. Bxc1 Bxc1
|
White ran out of time. He would have been mated shortly. |
