1. d4
|
This game involves me playing a horrible opening and a terrific endgame. I have a habit of bizzare opening . But I like to experiment with new stuff. It sometimes throws off better players. Even playing white I am the underdog. |

|
1... d5 2. g3
|
Went with a hyper modern opening- controling the center with less pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
2... Nf6 3. Bg5
|
3.Bg5? Horrible move!!! |
|
| |
|
|
3... Ne4 4. Bd2 Nc6 5. e3
|
Now you see why... moving the same piece twice.... trapped on one side by pawns.... |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bf5 6. Bg2 e6 7. Nc3 Bd6
|
Good development by black, about to fix my bad opening. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nxe4 dxe4 9. f3 exf3 10. Bxf3
|
Now I got some room to work with. Need to finish the development. |
|
| |
|
|
10... Qe7
|
10......Qe7? Causes a double pawn. No good for black. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Bxc6+ bxc6 12. c4
|
Now the more traditional c4 to match the d4 pawn move... just the 12th move instead of the 2nd. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Be4 13. Nf3 Bb4 14. O-O
|
14.O-O! Brilliant. Got out of two pins in 1 move. Now to go on the offensive at last. |
|
| |
|
|
14... O-O 15. a3 Bxd2 16. Qxd2 Rab8 17. b4 Rfd8 18. c5
|
Notice that black controls two half rows- but is countered by my superior pawn structure. Do you see the three way fork? |
|
| |
|
|
18... h6 19. Ne5
|
19.Ne5! The c6 square is ohhh so dangerous for black. I will use that pressure to trap black's bishop - then do my dirty work. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Rdf8 20. Rf4 Bd5 21. e4
|
In this position he is forced to sacrifice to save the queen/rook. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Bxe4 22. Rxe4 Qe8 23. Rg4
|
Play on 24.Qh6 next move. |
|
| |
|
|
23... g5 24. h4 f6 25. hxg5
|
25. hxg5!! My best play of the game. Horse sacrifice to lead to mate in 9. I will be truthful and say that I didn't see the exact mate , but I knew opening the f-h files would lead to a mate, just not exactly how yet. |
|
| |
|
|
25... fxe5 26. gxh6+ Kh8 27. Rg7
|
This move sets up bringing in my queen then other rook to take advantage of the open rows and that critical h6 pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Rg8 28. Qg5 Qd8
|
I think 28.....Qf8 would be better... |
|
| |
|
|
29. Qxe5 Qf8 30. Rf1
|
The last straw . Blacks position is over!!! |
|
| |
|
|
30... Qxg7 31. hxg7+ Rxg7 32. Rf7
|
32.Rf7! Another good pin. |
|
| |
|
|
32... Rbg8 33. Qh5+ Rh7 34. Qxh7#
|
One of my best game endgames against a better player,
