19. Bd2 e5 20. Qc1 |
Breaks the pin. Note the point of e5 was to develop AND stop the B to f4 tempo check | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Bg4 |
Reapplying pressure to the pin | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Be3 |
I really wanted to get my bishop on that diagonal before him. I wanted to pressure F2 but now I have to retreat. Again, I don't feel as though I can trade down. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Bh3 22. Bd3 |
In two moves he's managed to back off both threatienng pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
22... Qf3 23. Qd1 Qf7 |
The threat of pawn to e4 is a bluff since it opens up too good a line to my king, plus he would win too many tempo. | ||||||

24. Qd2 |
e4 would lead to a Bf4 check....he's threatening Qc3 check as well. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Kb8 |
Trying to find anything that looks like safety. Not only am I losing, but he clearly has 3 well developed pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||

25. Qa5 b6 |
I had a hard time finding this move. All other moves seem to lose. | ||||||

I don't think I can take back because the white bishop and queen will be too coordinated for me to survive. Far too many variations for me to work out even in correspondence. | ||||||

26... Rxd3 |
With this sac I was already having dreams of figuring out how to fork the Queen and King with a bishop on b4. Also, this move weakens his dark squares which gives my bishop something to do....I think... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
27. cxd3 axb6 28. Qxe5+ |
This move surprised me. I thought he would take at b6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
28... Qc7 |
I think this is a poor move. Since his queen can't stay in front of the King, all I needed to do was find a way to manuever so that the bishop protected with tempo. Then I would be able to swing my rook into action. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
29. Qxc7+ Kxc7 |
Going into an end game down 2 points but up 3 pieces to 2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
30. Rc1+ Kb7 31. a3 Bg4 |
I was worried about moves like g4 and then rook to Rg3 threatening to win the bishop. I really wanted to FINALLY develop my dark square bishop but here we are on move 31 and STILL I have two pieces that haven't moved. That certainly can't be opening theory, can it? | ||||||

32. Kd2 Bc5 |
Trying to pressure F2 while finding an outpost for my bishop | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
33. Rge1 Rf8 |
I felt like I had to develop. Winning the pawn at f2 only opens me to a check at e7 and then his other rook can link up at c7 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
34. f4 g5 |
I think if I can crack this file open I might have some chances, right? | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
35. b4 Bd4 36. Re7+ Ka6 37. a4 gxf4 |
This should have been the fatal error. | ||||||

38. b5+ Ka5 39. Ra7+ Kb4 40. Rc4+ Kb3 41. gxf4 |
I have no idea why he took the pawn and NOT the hanging bishop. Maybe he was afraid of the far passer but in every variation I looked at, he could defend it. Having been given a second life, I don't waste the opportunity. Note: I already see the pawn a4 push for white | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
41... Bc5 42. a5 |
I thought about checking at b4 but the problem is that white could sac back the exchange and then his advanced pawns would be free to roam. Therefore.... | ||||||
