This is the first of two games vs payam_eagle and I'm sure he is as upset as I am about this game. However, I've learned quite a bit from reviewing this game. My hope is that you will take something out of this game as well. By the time this game ended in a draw I had 3-0 for my tourney this makes my score a 3.5 which is pretty good. If you would like to look at the other 3 wins which are pretty neat you can view them here: http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=14099627&rnd=0.2591759961626843 features an opening trap; http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=14100315&fb=1&rnd=0.9084254376000573 A poisoned pawn; http://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=14099101&rnd=0.7170149447687891 and a discovered attack on the queen. | |||||

Typical queen pawn opening. | |||||

2. e3 |
After reading a few annotations from Freddy's The stone wall project I decide to try a game with a similar set up. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... e6 |
Mirroring my movements c5 would probably be blacks best try creating a QGD structure for white. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nd2 Nf6 4. Bd3 c5 5. c3 Nc6 6. f4 |
We've reached the stone wall position here. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Be7 7. Qf3 |
I was looking at a few games in the db in the previous position and thought I would try this one out. The game in the db with this structure ends in a draw. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... a6 8. Ne2 Qc7 9. O-O O-O 10. g4 |
I figured I would start with this aggressive idea, I planed to play g5 or f5 if needed after black defends from mating threats. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... e5 |
?! at first I thought this was a wonderful move but now that I've been able to look at with the add of some technology this move was not all that good. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. fxe5 Bxg4 |
The best move in the situation. though it does have a very big down side of leading to a minor exchange sac two pawns for a Knight. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. Qg2 Bxe2 |
?? best according to the computer and what I had expected in the games was Nxe5 dxe5 Qxe5 this just loses a piece and I didn't notice at the time because I was distracted by my rook being under fire. This shows the importance of checking out all the possibilities. Here exf6 wins the knight because of the mate on g7. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13. Qxe2 Nd7 14. Rf3 |
My threat is Bxh7+ Kxh7 Rh3+ Kg8 Qh5 leaving black with little chances. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14... g6 |
Blocks the threat. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15. e4 |
? this move gives black the chance to break open the center which is very bad for my weakened king position here Bc2 or Nf1 would have been better. | |||||

15... cxd4 |
taking back with cxd4?? Nxd4 and white is in big trouble but white is still playable in this position. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16. exd5 |
Forcing the c6 knight to e5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16... Ncxe5 17. Rg3 Nxd3 |
Here I thought oh look at that I can win the e7 bishop. However this was a poor choice the best was probably either Rxd3 which I like or Qxd3. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18. Qxe7 |
?? I was thinking black would play Nxc1 here but after I played this move I was like oh no what have I done. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18... Rae8 |
Now white must deal with the attack on the queen. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
19. Qh4 Re1+ 20. Nf1 Nxc1 |
?? This turns out to be a mistake for black. I had seen a way to win a pawn and took it but it turns out threatening mate is devastating. Rh3!! Black must now deal with the double threat of Qxh7# and Qxe1. The computers best line for this was 21. Rh3 Ne2+ 22. Kf2 Rxf1+ 23. Kxf1 Qf4+ 24. Kxe2 leaving white with an exposed king but a material advantage and an unclear position slightly favoring white just a bit. | |||||

21. Rxg6+ |
Winning the pawn. | |||||
