Another wild game, with a final thrust of good chessistic thinking, maybe sound enough to deserve an annotation. |

1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nf6 3. Nf3 e6 4. Nbd2 Bd6 5. Ne5 O-O 6. e3 c5 7. c3
|
I know, you'll say that c4 was better... but this is just the way I play. |
 
|
| |
|
|
7... c4 8. g4 Nbd7
|
This move allows the tricky Nxf7. Black has to retake, the Q is threatened, and then BxBd6, winning a pawn. BUT it opens the f column for his R, and I am not sure I have a winning attack after that. So... |
|
| |
|
|
9. g5 Ne8
|
Now the Nxf7 threat is no more. |
|
| |
|
|
10. h4
|
Solidifying my pawn. He should play f6 now, I will have to go Ng4, then hold e5... no I have no real edge. |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bxe5 11. dxe5 g6
|
It makes my work a little more difficult. Anyway... |
|
| |
|
|
12. h5 Kg7
|
The plain hxg6 is answered with fxg6, and I have nothing really. I have to build some more. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Bh3
|
? I threat now hxg6 and if fxg6, Bxe6. But this is a mistake, since it gives him a very nice counterplay. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Rh8
|
Nc5, threatening the annoying Nd3+. He prefers to help the h column, but this gives me a tempo. |
|
| |
|
|
14. hxg6 fxg6
|
hxg6 would have been better, IMO, since after it I couldn't have swapped the e6 pawn. It was poisoned, nevertheless! |
|
| |
|
|
15. Bxe6 Nc5
|
Yesssss. The only good move for black. Now, I don't have any choice but to hold the countergame. I thought about Nxc4, avoiding the check, but black could have gone for NxB, and my piece sac won't give me anything solid (16. Nxc4, NxB or BxB, my N has to move, and 17. Nd6 just allows NxN, exN. After this move, thoug, I have Ne5 as a nice threat. Still, I wasn't sure about all this during the game. ) |

|
|
16. Bxc8 Nd3+ 17. Ke2 Qxc8 18. Qg1
|
Preventing Qg4+, followed by NxB, exN, Qxf4, and I'm almost lost. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Qf5
|
I expected NxB here. He is planning Nxb2, then get the Q to d3 with check. The point is: can I afford that, or there is a tactic that kills me? I bet there was none. |
|
| |
|
|
19. Qh2 Nxb2 20. Qh6+ Kg8 21. Nf3
|
This may be a losing move, but let's see if and how he takes advantage of it. |
|
| |
|
|
21... Qd3+ 22. Ke1 Qxc3+ 23. Kf1 Qd3+ 24. Kg2 Qe4
|
Pinning my N is a mild downside for such a terrible incursion. Now, his best chance were the c and d pawns, and I think that aftr d4 I am in very serious trouble. |

25... Nd3

Wise! Now he shields e5. I can't afford to lose my lsb and a pawn. |
|

26. Bg3
|
Necessary! |

26... Qxe6 27. Rab1
|
? A bad one. He can defend too easily. Of course, he can't allow Rxb7! |

27... b6 28. Rbd1
|
Well... let's see now what happens. I telegraphed my idea, but there is few he can do about that! |
|
| |
|
|
28... Nd6
|
Even better! This move leaves the black diagonal to h8 free after... |
