1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 |
Signalling Black's intention to play the Accelerated Dragon |
| | |
|
3. Bc4 Bg7 4. c3 Nc6 5. d4 cxd4 6. cxd4 a6 7. O-O b5 8. Bb3 Bb7 9. e5 e6 |
Not only supports the d5 square but also closes down the diagonal for White's light squared Bishop |
| | |
|
10. Be3 Nge7 |
Eyeing both f5 and d5 |
| | |
|
11. Nbd2 Nf5 |
I took the decision to win the Bishop pair |
| | |
|
12. Re1 Nxe3 13. Rxe3 Qb6 |
Putting pressure on White's centre. The d-pawn cannot advance with hanging the e-pawn |
| | |
|
14. Nf1 O-O 15. Ng3 Ne7 16. Rc1 Rac8 17. Rec3 Nd5 18. Bxd5 Rxc3 |
Clearly not 18. Bxd5?? losing to Rxc8 |
| | |
|
19. Rxc3 Bxd5 20. a3 |
Not really necessary |
| | |
|
20... Qb7 |
Allowing the Rook to come to c8 and perhaps some potential for play along the a8-h1 diagonal |
| | |
|
21. Ne2 Rc8 22. Nf4 Rxc3 23. bxc3 Bxf3 24. Qxf3 Qxf3 25. gxf3 |
Exchanging into an endgame with the better minor piece; with play on both sides of the board the Bishop should be able to outplay the Knight |
| | |
|
25... Bf8 |
Pushing the a-pawn and thereby allowing Black to capture it is an unstoppable passed pawn that will eventually Queen |
| | |
|
26. Nh5 |
?? but I missed it! |
| | |
|
26... Bxa3 27. Nf6+ Kg7 28. Nxd7 Bb2 29. Nc5 Bxc3 30. Nxa6 |
The position is now easily won for Black |
| | |
|
30... Bxd4 31. f4 Bc3 32. Kg2 b4 33. Nc5 Kf8 34. Kf3 Ke8 35. Ke4 Kd8 36. Kd3 Kc7 |
A better plan for White may have been to create counter-play on the kingside |
| | |
|
37. Kc4 Bd2 38. Nd3 Kc6 39. Nxb4+ |
The last mistake after which White could have resigned |
| | |
|
39... Bxb4 40. Kxb4 Kd5 41. f3 Kd4 42. h4 Ke3 43. Kc5 Kxf3 44. Kd6 Kxf4 45. Ke7 Kxe5 46. Kxf7 Kf5 47. Kg7 e5 48. Kxh7 e4 |
White resigns |
