Very interesting game! At first it was a bit positional later it became a mixture of tactics and strategy & mating patterns.... |
|
|
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. Be2
|
The classical approach |

|
| |
|
|
5... O-O 6. O-O c5
|
This turns out to be quite a good variation. Maybe time to check my openingsbook??? |

|
| |
|
|
7. dxc5 dxc5 8. Be3 b6 9. h3
|
theory.. |

|
| |
|
|
9... Bb7 10. e5
|
theory.. |

|
| |
|
|
10... Ne4
|
Now it seems like white can get some advantage. Again...maybe i should check my openingsbook, for at first i thought blacks set-up was OK, and now i do get a plus.... |

|
| |
|
|
11. Qxd8 Rxd8 12. Nxe4 Bxe4 13. Ng5 Bb7
|
if 13..Bxc2? then 14.Bf3 at least wins the exchange (14...Nd7 or 14...Na6 15. Bxa8 Rxa8) |

|
| |
|
|
14. e6
|
interesting play! |

|
| |
|
|
14... f5
|
Or 14...f6 15.Nf7. After ...f6 black has no pressure against b2/d4 |

|
| |
|
|
15. c3 Bf6 16. Rad1
|
16.Nf7!? |

|
| |
|
|
16... Nc6 17. Nf7 Rxd1 18. Rxd1 Kf8
|
What can black do?? His position is very cramped. |

|
| |
|
|
19. Bf3
|
Rd7 coming up! |

|
| |
|
|
19... Na5 20. Bxb7 Nxb7 21. Rd7
|
Bisshops exchanged, black still cramped... |

|
| |
|
|
21... Na5 22. Bh6+ Kg8
|
Look at this position! The black king is stalemated, white just needs a check and its mate...even without queens mating attacks occur! |

|
| |
|
|
23. g4
|
idea: gxf gxf Rd7-d3-g3 and mating |

|
| |
|
|
23... fxg4 24. hxg4 Nc6
|
now the g-file will stay closed but the black play is more and more limited.... He has only his knight to play with. |

|
| |
|
|
25. f4
|
e5 is mine! g5 is mine! f5 is mine! h5 is mine! d4 is mine! d5 is mine! e4 is mine! |

|
| |
|
|
25... a5
|
the black rook can move now, without losing the a-pawn |

|
| |
|
|
26. Rc7 Na7
|
only move, 26...Nd8 26.Nxd8 Rxd8 27.Rd7 and black has no counterplay at all |

|
| |
|
|
27. Kf2
|
simple strategy: black cannot improve his position, so meanwhile the white king can be activatedb before white actions take place |

|
| |
|
|
27... a4 28. a3 Nb5 29. Rd7 Bxc3
|
Despair....but helps to create a nice finish of the game |
