1. e4 c5 |
Sicilian Defense. |
| | |
|
2. Bc4 e6 3. d4 d5 |
cxd4 is pretty decent for black. |
| | |
|
4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. Bxd7+ Qxd7 6. e5 Nc6 7. dxc5 Bxc5 8. Nf3 f6 9. exf6 Nxf6 10. O-O O-O 11. Ng5 h6 12. Nf3 Ne4 13. Be3 Bxe3 14. fxe3 Rad8 15. Nc3 Nxc3 |
I like this exchange just because it breaks up and doubles white's pawns. |
| | |
|
16. bxc3 Qe7 17. Nd4 Rxf1+ 18. Qxf1 Rf8 19. Qe2 e5 20. c4 exd4 21. cxd5 Ne5 22. Rf1 Rxf1+ 23. Kxf1 Qf6+ |
Black, up two points, is wise to make all the even trades he can. |
| | |
|
24. Ke1 Qb6 25. Qh5 Qb1+ 26. Kd2 Qb4+ 27. Kd1 Qd6 |
Black moved here to protect the knight. I think Nc4 might be better, possibly. |
| | |
|
28. Qe8+ Kh7 29. exd4 Nd7 30. h4 Nf6 31. Qe6 Qb6 |
I definately like Qxd5 here better. Three pawns are threatened, strongly encouraging white to swap queens. |
| | |
|
32. d6 Qxd4+ |
But Qb6 worked out. |
| | |
|
33. Kc1 Qg1+ 34. Kb2 Qxg2 35. h5 Qc6 |
Black must worry about white's d pawn. |
| | |
|
36. c4 Nd7 37. Kc3 a5 |
This pawn is not protected. Moving a6 might have been better, or perhaps Nc5. White moves the queen, black plays Ne4+ followed by Nxd6. Threat eliminated. Except... 37. ...Ne5 38. Qf5+. White might set up perpetual check. So there is this--b5. White cannot move the c pawn, but still Qf5+. That doesn't look bad. |
| | |
|
38. Qf5+ Kg8 39. Qxa5 Qxd6 40. Qa8+ Nf8 41. Qxb7 Qa3+ 42. Qb3 Qd6 43. a4 Kh8 |
I didn't understand this move. I know it looks like white could play c5+, but black interposes with Qe6. On the other hand, white trades queens and might beat black with the pawn promotion--I would have to play this out to see. |
| | |
|
44. a5 Nd7 45. Qb5 Qa3+ 46. Kd4 Qd6+ 47. Kc3 Nc5 48. Qe8+ Kh7 49. Kb4 Na6+ 50. Kb3 Qb4+ 51. Kc2 Qxc4+ 52. Kd2 Qb4+ 53. Ke3 |
White blunders. Never line the king up with an undefended piece like Qe8. Qe1+ and the white queen falls to perdition. |
| | |
|
53... Qxa5 |
That pawn wasn't going anywhere. White can now play perpetual check, drawing the game. |
| | |
|
54. Qe4+ Kh8 55. Qe8+ Kh7 56. Qe4+ Kg8 57. Qe8+ Kh7 58. Qg6+ Kg8 59. Qe8+ Kh7 60. Qe4+ Kh8 61. Qe8+ Kh7 |
55, 57, and 61 are identical board positions for the 3 move stalemate. 44+50 = 94 for the 50 move stalemate (50 moves the last pawn move). |

|
62. Qg6+ Kh8 63. Qe8+ Kh7 64. Qg6+ Kg8 65. Qe8+ Kh7 66. Qe4+ Kg8 67. Qe8+ Kh7 68. Qe4+ Kh8 69. Qe8+ Kh7 70. Qg6+ Kh8 71. Qe8+ Kh7 72. Qe4+ Kg8 73. Qe8+ Kh7 74. Qg6+ |
