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, Jeremy Ross
