OK, time to asses. This is a position that I would like for either side. But in my opinion,I like Black better because of the potential of a passed d pawn. White has slightly less active pieces....the K rook needs to get into the game and use the open lines. The computer like White to the tune of 1/2 pawn advantage. For some REALLY instructive games with this type of material imbalance,check out Fischer-Larsen, match game 5 1971, and Spassky-Tal, Tallin 1973. Incredible games! |

At first I thought this an ugly move,but it provides air for the King and protection for the p. |

My original plan was to move Rb2,but after Rc2 I thought that I would have to trade rooks. In my opinion,this type on position requires Black to keep the heavy pieces on. Q R B verses Q B B makes it easier for the side with the R. Comments? |

?! This allows a monster passed pawn. I think better is e3,guarding the d4 square and allowing the B to roam around and offset the Blk B on c4 |

Things are kind of forced around here. |

Qg5 does not help much. Everything that follows flows from getting a passer on d4. Maybe 27 e4 was the decisive mistake. |

Really bad. The computer "thinks" a move like Kg2 is better. I would of course take the R,but then there are opposite colored B's,and white covers the d3 square 2x.....very hard,if not impossible to win. |

A blunder by me! p takes is MUCH better. |

The final mistake. Qb1 would allow me to force a Q exchange,but the resulting B P ending is tough!
34. Qb1 Qc2 35.Bd3 Qxb1 36.Bxb1 Bc4 37. Kg2 g5 38.g4 (Analysis by Crafty) is a little better for Black |

White resigns. My first attempt at annotating. Again,comments are welcome. |
