1. d4 Nf6 2. d5 d6
|
Off book. The c6 pawn puts pressure on the d-file. |

3. c4 c6 4. Nc3 e5 5. e4 Nbd7 6. Nf3 Be7 7. Be2 O-O 8. O-O c5
|
Probably better to trade d5. Break up white’s domination of the board. |

9. Qa4 Nb6 10. Qb3 a6 11. Na4 Nxa4 12. Qxa4 Bd7
|
Nxe4 was a free pawn. Qc2 defends. |
|

|
|
13. Qc2 b5 14. b3 b4 15. a3 a5 16. a4
|
axb4 was probably better. |

|
Maybe Kh7? Opening the king’s castle pawns could be problematic, especially with the white queen in the field. This move withdraws support for g5. |

|
Bxg5, free pawn! Or, Nxd4. I guess it’s a fair trade, except the black pawns get split and the king’s file is opened. |

19... g4 20. hxg4 hxg4 21. Bxg4 Bxg4 22. Nxg4 Nxg4 23. Qg3 Qd7 24. f3 f5 25. Bh6 Rf7
|
Rf6 would have been better. |

Blunder. Better kh8.
