1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 3. e5 c5 4. d4 Nc6 5. Bb5 Bd7 6. Nc3 Nge7 7. Ng5	7. Ng5 ?, a free pawn here, and may be more as we shall see
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 09-Oct-07: 5. c3 protect a pawn with a pawn 6. c3 7. Bg5 or 7. 0-0 Don't move a piece twice in the opening.


7... cxd4 8. Qf3	8. Qf3? I cant stop thinking that the white underestimated the black side here, trying to finish the game so quickly while he is not prepared to ...
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 08-Oct-07: 8. 0-0 Don't bring the queen out early in the opening.


8... Nxe5	8. Nxe5 !, Nice and smooth, removing the threat, forcing the white queen to withdraw, and wining a free piece !
	2 comments fattouh (1200) on 09-Oct-07: But the knight IS a piece, i as talking about the knight not the pawn . ruachessnut2 (1200) on 09-Oct-07: 8. Nxe5 means white's move. 8...Nxe5 is correct.


9. Qe2 dxc3 10. Bd3 Nxd3+ 11. Qxd3 Nc6 12. bxc3 Qf6 13. Bd2 Ne5 14. Qd4 b6 15. O-O Bc5 16. Qh4 h6	16. ... - h6!, a good move, seems like the black can't take the Knight at g5 because the pin at h6, but that pin was (virtual) as the black can solve this problem with Ng6!
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 09-Oct-07: 12. b3 Why weaken your pawn structure?


17. Rab1	17. Ra-b1 ?, White still in shock from loosing a piece earlier, and putting himself in a bad position and facing the possibility of losing another piece !
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 08-Oct-07: 17. Qh3


17... Ng6	17. Ng6!, Brilliant ... another surprise for the white, now the black has to choose between his knight and his queen, moreover, the dangerous h file is now open for action !
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 09-Oct-07: I repeat 17. Ng6 is a white move. You mean 17...Ng6. & obvious.


18. Qh3 hxg5 19. Qd3 Bd6 20. Rfe1	20. Rf-e1, trying to prevent Qe5, but the black has another idea.



20... Bxh2+ 21. Kf1	From this point, i have put my eye on the position of the White's king and queen, a dangerous position and i tried to make the most of it.
	1 comment jotheblackqueen (1200) on 09-Oct-07: If the black queen bishop goes to b5 it is a pin not a skewer. However, supposing the White King was on d3 and the White Queen was on f1 then it would be a skewer because the king must move out of the way (if he can). The queen can only be saved if you can block the check or take the checking piece. If king must move, queen goes. In a skewer the higher value piece has to give way to the lower value piece. In a pin the lower value piece is pinned on the same line as the higher value piece. If the higher value piece is anything other than the king then the lower value piece can move in exceptional circumstances e.g. to give check. Nice plan fattouh - Joanne (jstevens1)


21... a6	The main idea is to get the black bishop to b5.



22. Rxb6 g4	Ambitious, and distracting the black at the same time
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 09-Oct-07: 23. Qxd5 wins a pawn & keeps control of the b file with his rook(s) maybe later & can block with c4 & attacks the rook.


23. Rxa6 Rb8	Black doesn't care much about material now, getting where i want is the main thing here.



24. c4 g3 25. f3 dxc4 26. Qxc4 Bb5	Mission accomplished !, after this move, my adversary sent me a message to admire it.
	1 comment oogiegork (1200) on 13-Oct-07: 24...g3? Gets black's rampant bishop stuck. Better would have been 24...dxc4 staight away!


27. Qxb5+ Rxb5 28. c3 Qf5 29. Re3	Preventing the white form threatening the white king at d3, but every problem has a solution.
	1 comment ruachessnut2 (1200) on 08-Oct-07: Why would white want to threaten the white king FORM d3? Spellcheck fails again. Oddly "spellcheck" fails spellcheck.


29... Qb1+ 30. Ke2 Nf4#
