11. a4 |
I really don't understand this move, he needs to be developing his queen side pieces pronto. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
11... Be7 |
The bishop is played here, with thoughts of supporting king side pawn advances such as g7-g5 and/or h7-h5-h4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. e3 |
He solidifies his pawn formation, but againhe should be developing. I want to play my knight into e4, but I don't want him playing Ng5xf3 so I hit his knight first | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... h6 |
Like this | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Nf3 |
Knight retreats | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13... Ne4 |
Mine advances | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. Ne5 |
So does his, but the difference is I can easily drive his back. PMCA gives it as a mistake and favors 14. Ba3 Bxa3 15. Rxa3 Qg4 16. Qe1 h5 17. Rh1 O-O-O 18. Nbd2 Qf5 19. a5 Ndf6 20. a6 Rd7 21. Nxe4 Nxe4 22. axb7+ Rxb7 but black still has a big advantage | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... f6 |
So I hit the knight. PMCA says this is a mistake and gives Nxe5 15. fxe5 Qg6 16. Qf3 O-O 17. Qf4 f6 18. Ba3 fxe5 19. Qxe5 Rxf1 20. Kxf1 Qf7+ 21. Qf4 Nxg3+ 22. Kg2 Qxf4 23. exf4 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Nxd7 |
So he takes | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Kxd7 |
I take back. My king is quite safe in the center of the board, as the centre is closed and unlikely to be opened quickly. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. g4 |
This is a dreadful move, opening up his king side position. PMCA gives 16. c4 h5 17. Nd2 h4 18. g4 Qg6 19. cxd5 cxd5 20. Nxe4 Qxe4+ 21. Kh3 f5 22. Qf3 Qxf3+ 23. Rxf3 fxg4+ 24. Kxg4, but i think white needs to be developing his queen side pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Qg6 |
So my queen retreats. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Rg1 |
A necessary re-enforcement of the g4 pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... h5 |
Now he has problems defending g4 and he can hardly advance it, it will be lost. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Kf3 |
Bringing the king up, and into more trouble. Kf1 was best. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... hxg4+ |
So I take. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Rxg4 |
This natural recapture is a mistake and should have led to a mate in 7 starting with Rh2. I miss the mate, but finish him off quickly. Just accepting that he is 2 pawns down with Kg2 was relatively best. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Qh5 |
I completely missed Rh2, the line I did look at was Rh3+ 20. Kg2 Rg3+ 21. Rxg3 Qxg3 winning, but Qh5 seemed to be winning too. | ||||||

|
20. Qg1 |
So he gives his rook greater protection | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... f5 |
But it is pinned and lost | ||||||
| | |||||||
