1. e4 |
annotations by sf115. I'm proud of this game because I convincingly beat someone rated over 350 above me. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Ne5 |
a unusual variation of the scotch. Probably bad | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Nc3 Nf6 6. Bg5 Bc5 7. f4 Ng6 8. e5 |
A bit messy for black. Perhaps 8. Nf5 is better | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... h6 |
The only way to save the piece | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. exf6 hxg5 10. fxg7 Rg8 11. fxg5 Qxg5 12. Qe2+ Kd8 |
12...Ne7 was better. After that black could take the pawn on g7 and try to castle queenside. White would still have a big advantage. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Nf3 Qh6 14. Qd2 |
Not the best move. After 14...Re8 15. Be2 Be3 White's big advantage has dis-appeared. Thankfully for me though black didn't play this. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Qxd2+ 15. Nxd2 Re8+ |
Not a great move. 15...Bd4 would put more pressure on white and it would be about equal. The pawn on g7 can now be used as a decoy | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Be2 Bd4 17. g8=Q |
17. Rf1 would have been much better. After 17...Bxg7 18. Rxf7 Re7 white has an advantage. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Rxg8 18. O-O-O f5 19. Rhf1 d6 20. Nb5 |
not great | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Be3 21. Kb1 a6 22. Nc4 |
good counter attack | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Bg5 |
This is bad because it loses controll of the d4 square. White gets the advantage again | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Nd4 f4 24. Bf3 Bd7 |
This blunders a pawn. Probably the decisive mistake. | ||||
| | |||||
|
25. Bxb7 Ra7 26. Bc6 Bg4 27. Rde1 |
All the white pieces are very active | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Ne7 28. a3 Bd7 |
black wants to swap off. Better if 28...Bf6 | ||||
| | |||||
|
29. Bxd7 Kxd7 30. g3 Bf6 |
Another pawn blundered. The game is lost for black completely now | ||||
| | |||||
|
31. Rxf4 Bxd4 32. Rxd4 Nc6 33. Rdd1 Raa8 34. Ne5+ |
A clever swap off using a pin. | ||||
| | |||||
|
34... Nxe5 35. Rxe5 Raf8 36. Re2 |
Defending all the white pawns | ||||
| | |||||
|
36... Rf5 37. Rh1 Rf3 38. Ka2 Rf5 39. Rg2 Rh5 40. h4 |
A wrong move 40. g4 is better | ||||
| | |||||
|
40... Rg4 41. c3 c5 42. Rf1 |
White looks for play elsewhere | ||||

42... Kc6 |
43...Rxf4 doesn't draw. 43...Rxf4 44. gxh4 Rxg2 45. Rh1 Rg6 46. h5 Rh6 47. b4 white has a winning advantage. | ||||
