Greetings, this represents my 10th game against freddy (easy19) and his last game in this tourney. While, as I expected, I did not win, I was able to make freddy work a bit in this game. The action begins at move 8. |

|
I did not want freddy to hide his King away. I wanted it out in the open. I was relatively certain he wouldn't allow a 3-fold repetition. |

13. d4 exd3 e.p. 14. cxd3 h5 15. Bh3
|
Rather than 15. Bh3, I think it may have been better to move Bf3+ (something I did in a later game with some success). This could have been followed by 16. Bd5, threatening the Queen. |

Black is moving his King to safety. |
|

17. O-O
|
White does the same. |
|

|
17... c5 18. Be3 Nc6
|
Development on both sides. |
|

19. Bf2

I think my thought here was to move Rfe1, but I'm not certain of this. |

19... Rd8 20. Rad1 Rd6 21. Rfe1 Nd4

Black begins to encroach into White's position but the Q and Ra1 are still constricted. |

22. Ng5 Qf8 23. Nce4

23. Nec4 threatens Rd6 and 'links' the Knights. |

23. Rd8--Hooray! I drive freddy back. (I take victories where I can). |

24. g3
|
23. g3 I want to make room for my Bishop. |

Black moves his King off the diagonal of the White Bishop. |

I wanted to move my King from a potential pin by Black's DSB. I work hard to keep my B-pair as White in this tourney. |

29. b3 Just trying to keep Black's Queen constricted. |
|

29... Nf5

29. Nf5 I fully expect Black's next move to be 30. Bd4, thereby exchanging my DSB. As I've noted, I work very hard to keep my B-pair when playing White. Right now, there is no safe square for White's DSB after 30. Bd4 |
|
| |
|
|
30. Re2
|
Therefore, I create a safe square. |
|

30... Bd4 31. Be1 Qd5
|
31. Qd5 White's N is pinned, Black is freeing up his pieces, and gray clouds are forming. |
|
| |
|
|
32. Bg2
|
White breaks the pin. |
|
| |
|
|
32... Ne3
|
32. Ne3 - A variety of threats are present. Black's N threatens Rd1 and Bg2. |
