11... Ng4 |
This is a blunder. I was thinking that he can't take my bishop on f5 as I reply with Nf with check. Of course, after doing the move I realised that that 12. Bxf5 Nf2+ 13. Rxf2 Bxf2 14. Bd3 and white has bishop and knight for rook, and a clear advantage. It was at this point, after I played Ng4, I pressed my clock and realised that my clock had not stopped and was ticking away alongside his. I had to drive a couple of miles back to Malpas to borrow a friend's clock. | |||||||

13. Ned4 |
He continues with his plan. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... Qb6 |
I hit his knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14. c3 |
He protects it. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14... O-O-O |
I castle queen-side. I thought that I have positional weaknesses. My d pawn is isolated, my f pawns are doubled. My only chance is to go for a tactical melee, where positional factors are less important. What is your view dear reader? | |||||||

15. h3 |
He hits my knight | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... h5 |
Instead of retreating, I try this. Of course, if he takes the knight, I take back with the h pawn and he loses his Nf3. Unfortunately he doesn't have to take. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. b4 |
He throws up his queen-side pawns, which is usually the best course of action if players have castled on opposite sides. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16... Be7 |
So I retreat my bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. a4 |
