1. f4 |
Greetings, this represents my 10th game against freddy (easy19) and his last game in this tourney. While, as I expected, I did not win, I was able to make freddy work a bit in this game. The action begins at move 8. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... d5 2. Nf3 g6 3. e4 dxe4 4. Ng5 Nf6 5. Bc4 Bg4 6. Bxf7+ Kd7 7. Qxg4+ Nxg4 8. Be6+ Ke8 9. Bf7+ |
I did not want freddy to hide his King away. I wanted it out in the open. I was relatively certain he wouldn't allow a 3-fold repetition. | ||||

9... Kd7 10. Be6+ Kc6 11. Bxg4 Bg7 12. Ne6 Qg8 |
All standard moves in this tourney. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. d4 exd3 e.p. 14. cxd3 h5 15. Bh3 |
Rather than 15. Bh3, I think it may have been better to move Bf3+ (something I did in a later game with some success). This could have been followed by 16. Bd5, threatening the Queen. | ||||

|
15... b6 16. Nc3 Kb7 |
Black is moving his King to safety. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. O-O |
White does the same. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... c5 18. Be3 Nc6 |
Development on both sides. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Bf2 |
I think my thought here was to move Rfe1, but I'm not certain of this. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Rd8 20. Rad1 Rd6 21. Rfe1 Nd4 |
Black begins to encroach into White's position but the Q and Ra1 are still constricted. | ||||
| | |||||
|
22. Ng5 Qf8 23. Nce4 |
23. Nec4 threatens Rd6 and 'links' the Knights. | ||||

23... Rd8 |
23. Rd8--Hooray! I drive freddy back. (I take victories where I can). | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. g3 |
23. g3 I want to make room for my Bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... h4 25. Bg2 Kb8 |
Black moves his King off the diagonal of the White Bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
26. gxh4 Rd7 27. Bh3 Rc7 28. Kh1 |
I wanted to move my King from a potential pin by Black's DSB. I work hard to keep my B-pair as White in this tourney. | ||||

|
28... Qg8 29. b3 |
29. b3 Just trying to keep Black's Queen constricted. | ||||
| | |||||
|
29... Nf5 |
29. Nf5 I fully expect Black's next move to be 30. Bd4, thereby exchanging my DSB. As I've noted, I work very hard to keep my B-pair when playing White. Right now, there is no safe square for White's DSB after 30. Bd4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
30. Re2 |
Therefore, I create a safe square. | ||||
| | |||||
|
30... Bd4 31. Be1 Qd5 |
31. Qd5 White's N is pinned, Black is freeing up his pieces, and gray clouds are forming. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32. Bg2 |
White breaks the pin. | ||||
| | |||||
|
32... Ne3 |
32. Ne3 - A variety of threats are present. Black's N threatens Rd1 and Bg2. | ||||
