I am usually not in the habit of giving full annotations, of games by others: this is by special request; for a friend... |

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6

3. d4
|
the best way to go: contest c5... |

|
|
|
3... cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6
|
I understand this: but this move, does not belong in this system... |

6. Be3
|
maybe a bit early: Ng4 can contest this Bishop... |

6... e5 7. Nb3
|
bold: Nf3 seems sounder... |

|
|
|
7... Be7 8. f3
|
cautious: although f4, was already an option... |

|
|
|
8... Be6 9. Qd2 O-O 10. O-O-O
|
probably best... |

|
|
|
10... Qc7 11. g4
|
the White Kings' wing is on the move... |

|
|
|
11... b5 12. g5 Nfd7
|
weak: b4 might have been an option... |

13. Qf2 Nc6 14. Kb1 b4
|
as was to be expected... |

|
|
|
15. Nd5 Bxd5 16. exd5 Ncb8 17. h4
|
not mocking around... |

|
|
|
17... Nc5
|
why not a5? |

|
|
|
18. Bc4
|
best Nxc5... |

|
|
|
18... Nxb3 19. Bxb3
|
everything under control... |

|
|
|
19... Nd7 20. h5 a5 21. Ba4 Nc5 22. Bc6
|
of course... |

|
|
|
22... Rab8 23. g6 fxg6
|
not good: this will open up Black Kings' wing... |

|
|
|
24. hxg6 hxg6
|
asking for trouble... |

|
|
|
25. Rdg1
|
right... |

|
|
|
25... e4
|
a blunder: Rf6 was life saving... |

|
|
|
26. f4
|
no sweat: but Qh2 was much stronger here... |
