11. h3 |
This seemed a reasonable move, gaining the two bishops in an open board. Fritz likes Nb3 or Qe2. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
11... Bxf3 |
He is forced to take. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12. Qxf3 |
This seemed to me to be the best way of taking back. Fritz prefers taking with the knight at first, but later corrects to taking with the queen. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12... Qe7 13. Rae1 |
It seemed best to me to continue my mobilisation, although Fritz likes a3 or Nb3. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... Rae8 |
He copies me. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14. a3 |
Fritz likes this move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14... Bc5 |
He drops back - probably best. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15. b4 |
I already had the pawn sac continuation in the game in mind, but bearing in mind that was probably a mistake, the Fritz move of Nb1 (presumably with the idea of Nc3 and maybe Nd5) is probably better. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Bxe3+ |
So he takes - which way would you recapture dear reader? | |||||||

Fritz agrees this is best. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16... f5 |
He attacks my centre. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. b5 |
Fritz likes Nf3 with equality. Unfortunately I go for a risky pawn grab which should have lost. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Nd8 |
So the knight drops back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18. Qxa7 |
I take the poisoned pawn. OK stop and work out black's best move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18... Nc5 |
Did you find it? Black blocks my queen retreat and attacks my bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. Bc2 |
So the bishop drops back. What should black play now? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19... Nc6 |
At the time, I thought this was a brilliant move, but in fact Fritz prefers Nde6 or Qh4 with approximate equality. My queen has no escape squares, my reply is forced. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20. bxc6 Rea8 |
And now my queen is lost. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21. Qxa8 |
So it is best to get the rook for it. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... Rxa8 |
And he takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
