[Result "0-1"]

{Notes by Siegfried Werthammer} {Manahan played the standard line in the QGD and up to the 15th move, we followed the book. I have often subjected this variation to close study and it is my opinion that with best play there is not more than a draw for either side. It is true that White had a pull and chances with a kingside attack. However, Black obtains play on the queen's file and may obtain an end-game advantage with his queenside majority.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. Nf3 O-O 6. e3 Nbd7 7. Rc1 c6 8.

Bxe6 fxe6 (18...Qxe6 also would be good enough) and MCO says a very "drawish" position is obtained. I chose, however,  16...b5 getting my queenside pawns rolling. In the following moves, White could have got the advantage with play the Queen's bishop file and systematic siege and pressure on the backward Black Queen bishop's pawn. White, however, pushed ahead at the Black king's wing and did not get through. Black Queen center file and a strong Queen-wing turned the trick for Black.} 16...b5 17. e5 Qe7 18. Bb3 Rd8 19.

{Notes by George Koltanowski(GK) and Siegfried Werthammer(SW)} 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4 d6 5. Nf3 {GK- Very strongly recommended here is 5. exd6 exd6 6. Nf3, etc.} 5...Nc6 6. Nbd2 {GK- White is playing it in a quiet and steady way which permits Black a good setup of his pieces} 6...Bg4 7. Be2 dxe5 8. dxe5 Qd7 9. b3 O-O-O 10. Bb2 e6 11. O-O Bb4 {GK- Black has pieces well posted; only his N on b6 is not active. SW- The opening has been correctly played by each side. White is somewhat restricted as Black controles the only open file. On the other hand, Black's queenwing is crowded, one knight is stalemated, and the KB may get into hot water. The fianchetto development of the white QB was especially good, making the White KP, which easily gets weak in this opening, a veritable "thorn in Black's flesh."} 12. Ne4 Qe7 13. Qc1 {GK- If 13. Qc2 Be4 nakes a nasty pin.} 13...Bxf3 14. Bxf3 Nd4 15. Qe3  {GK- This loses the exchange: 15. Bxd4 Rxd4 16. Qe3 Rhd8 17. Rfd1 was better. White can hope his two bishops will accomplish something--but what? SW- An oversight which loses the exchange, and should have lost the game. The correct procedure would have been 15. Rd1 Nxf3+ 16. gxf3 Rxd1+ 17. Qxd1 h6! with an even game and chances for both sides. On 18. a3 follows simply Bc5, because on 19. b4 Nxc4.} 15...Nc2 16. Qg5 Nxa1 17. Bxa1 Qxg5 18. Nxg5 Rd7 {SW- 18...Rdf8 would have prevented the ensuing complications, but Black did not suspect anything, and thought the game was in the bag already. White works up some nice, tough threats.} 19. Bh5 g6 20. Bg4! {SW- Threatens Nxe6 or Nxf7 with counterchances.} 20...Kd8 21. Bb2 Be7?? {GK- Surely not this. It's a shame--but all's fair both in love and war. 21...h6 was the move. SW- A terrible move losing the whole rook. Of course, 21...Bf8 would have been correct, and White's threats would have been exhausted. In the following play, Black tries to restrict the White King position as much as possible and later on brings the K over to h3 in order to construct a mating net, but this would have been effective only if White had relaxed, and overlooked something. But, so far as Liggett was concerned, overlooking was over, and he finished the game strongly, after an impeccable defense.} 22. Nxf7+ Ke8 23. Nxh8 Rd2 24. Bc1 Rxa2 25. Bxe6 Ra5 26. Nf7  {GK- Now that the n comes out into safety, White is an easy winner.} 26...Nd7 27. Bxd7+ Kxd7 28. f4 Bc5+ 29. Kh1 Ra2 30. g3 Ke7 31. Ng5 h6 32. Ne4 Bd4 33. Bd2 c5 34. Rd1 Ke6 35. Bc3 Kf5 36. Bxd4 cxd4 37. Rxd4 Kg4 38. Nd2 Kh3 39. Nf1 Rf2 40. Rd1 Re2 41. Rd2! {GK- At last; this settles it.} 41...Re1 42. Kg1 g5 43. Kf2 Re4 44. Re2 1-0

{Notes by Siegfried Werthammer} {One of the most exciting games of the tournament and great fighting chess throughout.

Nc3 Ne7 {To get away from the drawish position of the Slav Defense, Exchange Variation. The move intends after Ng6 to keep the P on K4 under observation and leave the KBP free to advance.} 6. Bf4 Ng6 7. Bg3 Be7 8. e3 a6 9. Bd3 Nc6 10. Rc1 O-O {Better would have 10...f5 at once.} 11. h4 {The first move of a dangerous attack which Black could have stopped with 11...h5 after playing 10...f5. 11...h5 after castling would decisively devalue the K-wing Ps.} 11...f5 12. h5 Nh8 13. Ne5 Bd7 14. f4 Nf7 15. Nxf7 Rxf7 16. Bf2 Be8 17. g4 {White's game gains momentum. Black is very much compressed and must defend with great care. There is only thing disturbing about White's setup-- his central K position. if Black can weathers the storm, he may take advantage of this weakness.} 17...g6 18. Qf3 Rg7 19. h6 {This dislocates the k-wing but takes a lot of pressure off Black. Better would have been, maintaining the tension, Ke2 and Rcg1.} 19...Rf7 20. gxf5 gxf5 21. Rg1+ Kh8 22. Qg2 Bd7 23. Qh3 Qb6 {White's attack has come to a standstill and Black is able to take advantage of Black's weak K position.} 24. Ke2 Qxb2+ 25. Kf3 Nb4 26. Bb1 Rg8 {Black's first rank is weak and before proceeding further decides to exchange a pair of Rs and bring his K to safety in the middle.} 27. Rxg8+ Kxg8 28. Qg3+ Kf8 29. Rg1 Bf6 30. Qg8+ Ke7 31. Ne2 {Sharper and leading to positions with many more possibilities would have been 31. Rg7! If 31...Bxg7 32. hxg7, followed by Bh4+ would win for White. If 31...Rxg7 32. hxg7 Qxc3 33. Qxh7 Bxg7 34. Qxg7+ Kd6 leads to a complicated positionin which Black is a P ahead and has at least as many attack chances as White. Best on 31. Rg7! seems to be 31...Be8 with adequate defense.} 31...Bb5 32. Ng3 Nd3 {Also good would be 32...Bd3} 33. Bxd3 Bxd3 34. Qc8 Qb6 35. Nh5 Be4+ 36. Kg3 Rf8 {Black finally succeeds in tolling off White's annoying Q and feels that White has to exchange Qs by 37. Qc5+, after which Black has an easily won endgame. However, it happens otherwise.} 37. Qxf8+!! {A magnificent conception that nearly saves the game.} 37...Kxf8 38. Nxf6 Qb2 {The only move if Black wants to win. 38...Qc7 39. Kh4 Qf7 40. Rg8+ Qxg8, etc., would lead only to a draw.} 39. Nxh7+ Ke7 {39...Kg8 would lose after 40. Nf6+, followed by Kh3.} 40. Ng5 Qe2 41. h7 Qg4+ 42. Kh2 Qh5+ 43. Kg3 b5!  {Black's Q and White's pieces are all tied to each other. the right procedure for Black, therefore, is to free a P on the Q-side.} 44.

White will seek to play on the queenside and against the weak pawn base at d5, meanwhile Black should use the space advantage generated by the pawn on e4 to build an attack on the White king. The outcome of such a position depends largely on whom achieves their objective first.} 14. a3! Rc8 15. b4 Ne8? 16. Qb3! {The knight could have gone to c4 via d6. Beside stopping this cold, White has been pursuing his objective as stated.} 16...Nf6 17. Rc2 g5 18. Rfc1 f4 {Black's attack does not stand much chance of success, yet this is still his best try for an initiative. Take the rook on c8 and the knight on c6-place them on f7 and g6 respectively. Now Black's attack looks like a winner. The difference is eight more points aimed at the White king.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 {White takes the positional approach to the Classical Defense to the gambit. One of the key ideas is pressure down the half-open f-file. The pawn on f4 is an obstruction to this pressure and its removal is one of White's aims in this opening. 4. h4 aims to remove one the f-pawns stalwart defenders, the g-pawn. 4th move alternatives allow Black to support the g-pawn with ...h6 and to maintain his kingside pawn formation temporarily. To wit: 4. d4 Bg7 5. h4 h6 6. Bc4 d6, The Philador Gambit of after 4. Bc4, Black can opt for the spectacular Muzio Gambit with 4...g4 5. O-O gxf3 6. Qxf3 with enormous complications.} 4...g4 5. Ne5 {The Allgaier Gambit with 5. Ng5 is interesting but it commits White to the sacrifice of the knight after 5...h6 6. Nxf7 Kxf7} 5...Nf6 {5...Bg7 is the chief alternative.} 6. d4 d6 7. Nd3 Nxe4 8. Bxf4 Qe7 9. Qe2 {White doesn't fear the exchange of queens.

{Notes by Chuck Schulien}
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 {Konnie noted after the game that he was just trying to play a drawish defense, which actually makes the Budapest Gambit a pretty good choice! Black creates no weaknesses, and manages to develop all of his pieces. White gains a space advantage factor and sometimes the bishop pair. The only unfortunate factor is that White had considerable experience in this opening.} 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Bf4 Nc6 5. Nf3 Bb4+ 6. Nbd2 {Yasser Seirawan is a firm believer in 6. Nc3, which holds the extra pawn. He gained a clear advantage in our game, but Black can improve, too with 12...Bg4 and 14...Ne6!?} 6...Qe7 7. e3 Ngxe5 8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. Be2 Bxd2+ {With this exchange, Black surrenders the bishop pair and gives White an extra tempo on the former main line, 7. a3. What else to do?} 10. Qxd2 d6 11. O-O Bd7 {Konnie gives me the opportunity to play c4-c5, opening the position for the bishops. Safer is 11...O-O, when I continue 12. Rac1 or 12. b4 with a normal White advantage.} 12. c5 Bc6 13. cxd6 {This simplification is superficially very attractive: Black is saddled with an isolated queen's pawn for the ending, and White already has the bishop pair. But exchanging at this moment allows Black to keep his king in the center, defending the isolated pawn and maintaining reasonable piece coordination. 13. Qc3 and 13. Rac1 are better choices.} Qxd6 14. Qxd6 cxd6 15. Rfd1 Ke7 16. Rd2 {I also considered 16. Rd4 and 16. b4, but decided to keep it simple with the text move.} 16...Rad8 17. Rad1 f6 18. f3 h5 {Black prefers expansion on the kindside to passive waiting, and I can't say that I blame him. The weaknesses may later be felt, but it prevents a general pawn advance, and gives me something to think about.} 19. e4 g5 20. Be3 a6 21. Bb6 Rd7 22. Kf2 Ke6 23. g3 d5 {At this moment, further kingside play is impossible: 23...h4 24. f4 wins the exchange via Bg4+ once the knight retreats. Black succeeds in liquidating the isolated pawn, but White maintains some advantage as the center is further opened, a factor which favors the bishop pair.} 24. exd5+ Rxd5 25. Ke3 Rxd2 26. Rxd2 Rh7 {The exchanging combination 26...Bxf3 27. Bxf3 Nc4+ 28. Ke2 Nxb6 29. Bxb7 favors White: with pawn majorities on opposite wings, the bishop is the much better minor piece. Konnie threatens Bxf3, and White defends the threat.} 27. b3 Rd7 {Black must choose between active counterplay and exchanging pieces to neutralize White's advantage. Dolgovskij would do better with 27...h4 and if 28. f4, then hxg3! 29. hxg3 gxf4 30. gxf4 Rh3+. The rook exchange at this point enhances White's chances, as the h5 pawn becomes a target.} 28. Rxd7 Nxd7 29. Bd8 {White could proceed with 29. Bd4. The point of the position is that Black must tie up a piece to defend the weak h-pawn, which may be all that White needs in order to win!} 29...Ne5 30. h3 Be8 {30...h4 31. f4! leads to trouble for Black; he chooses a secure kingside defense. White's plan consists of relocating the Bd8, advancing f3-f4 to evict Black's knight from the center, and then forcing the Black king from its good defensive post. I frankly don't see a reasonable way for Black to meet this concept.} 31. Ba5 Nc6 32. Bc3 Ne7 33. Bc4+ Kf5 34. Bb4 Nc6 35. Bd6 Ne5 {At this point, we can prove a forced win for White, but I cannot offer any good alternative for the defense.} 36. g4+ hxg4 37. hxg4+ Kg6 38. Bxe5 fxe5 39. Bd5 Bc6 {Konnie allows a winning king and pawn ending, but White has to trust his instincts: with 2 minutes remaining to make his move, there isn't time to calculate all variations. 39...b6 40. Bb7 a5 41. Ke4 Kf6 42. Kd5 is a decisive penetration: if 42...a4 43. b4 a3 44. Bd5 shuts Black out.} 40. Bxc6 bxc6 41. b4! {Now all is clear, but White spent 30 minutes checking eack line. If he attacks too quickly, Black may draw by counterattack. The point of 41. b4 is both to fix the Black queenside pawns and gain a tempo for queening races. If instead 41. Kd3 Kf6 42. Kc4 e4! 43. fxe4 Ke5 Black has good counterplay. 44. Kd3 Kf4 45. Kd4 Kxg4 and White must play for the draw, adn 44. Kc5 Kxe4 46. Kxc6 Kf4 47. b4 Kxg4 48. a4 Kf3 49. b5 axb5 50. axb5 g4 is a dead draw. In the latter variation, the queen ending resulting from 47. Kb6 Kxg4 48. Kxa6 Kf3 49. b4 g4, etc. should also be drawn.} 41...Kf6 42. Kd3 Ke7 {I considered 42...Ke6 43. Kc4 e4 44. fxe4 45. Kc5 Kxe4 46. Kxc6 Kf4 47. a4 Kxg4 48. b5 to be the main line, but now White wins the race, thanks to the inclusion of 41. b4.} 43. Kc4 Kd6 44. a4 Kc7 45. Kc5 Kb7 46. Kd6 Kb6 47. Kxe5 a5 48. bxa5+ Kxa5 49.

{Notes by Jim Gikas}
{After not playing chess for about a year (save for the torturous Limestone Invitational, a week prior), it was clear to me that a win in this last round against John would be the result of an error on his part rather than by any dynamic play of mine. In fact, about half my though time in this tournament was taken to insure that I held onto mt pieces and pawns. A we all know, when you are not in good chess shape, the pieces have a tendency to migrate back to original squares despite your best effort to mentallt move them in your head. Hence my choice to start the game with the truly insipid Torre System, which is not to be confused with the Botvinnik variation of the Slav. I will spare the reader lists of variations and stick to general comments. Please excuse John and I for the bubbling, effervescent play of the first 31 moves.} 1. d4 g6 2. Nf3 Bg7 3.

{Notes by Andy Katz}
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. exd5 exd5 5. Bb5+ Bd7 6. Bxd7+ Qxd7 {Based on the Informants that I was reading to prepare for this tournament, 6...Nxd7 is more common for Black. The idea seems to be to answer White's dxc5 with Nxc5, followed by Ne4 at some point.}
7. Ngf3 Nc6 8. O-O Bd6 9. dxc5 Bxc5 10. Nb3 Bd6 11. Nbd4 Nge7 12. c3 O-O 13. Qd3 {I put my queen on this square because it pressures d5, keeps his knight out of f5, and maybe can attack h7 or hop over to b5 if the position allows. This sounds good, but I'm not sure where she should go.}
13...Qg4 14. Bg5 f6! {White moved the bishop to g5 because it indirectly pressures the pawn on d5 by threatening, at the appropriate time, to take the knight on e7. By playing f6, Black blocks this idea. At the time I thought this was a mistake though because it puts a pawn of the same color as the bishop and it also seems to create a weakness on the e6 square that I can occupy with my knight. However, neither of these "weaknesses" to this move matter at all. In retrospect, this move was very good because it reinforces the e5 square, which will be occupied by Black's knight.}
15. Bh4 Ng6 16. Bg3 Bxg3 17. hxg3 Nge5 18. Qf5 Rfe8 {Black could have eliminated his weak d-pawn by playing 18...Qxf5 19. Nxf5 Nxf3+ 20. gxf3 g6 21. Ne3 d4 with an even game. I think Black did not go into this line because he was playing for a win.}
19. Qxg4 Nxg4 20. Rfe1 Nce5 21. Rad1 Rad8 22. Rd2 Nxf3+ 23. Nxf3 Rxe1+ 24. Nxe1 Ne5 25. Nf3 Nc4 26. Re2 Kf7 27. Kf1 Nd6 {Up until now, I think Black has played very well. Now he starts to drift. He wants to play Ne4, but the knight is better on c4. With Black's knight on c4, White will eventually have to play b3 in order to activate his rook, which is tied to defending his b-pawn. After White plays b3, White's c-pawn is as weak as Black's d-pawn and the game is even.}
28. Rd2 Ne4 29. Rd1 b5 {Black played this to prevent White from playing c4. However, the pawn at b5 becomes a target. I think better was simply 29...Ke7.}
30. Nd4 a6 31. Nc6 Rd6 32. Nb4 Ke6 33. Nd3 Ng5 {Black correctly saw that playing d4 to eliminate his weak d-pawn is impossible because of 33...d4? 34. Re1 wins the knight after either 34...Kd5 35. Nf4+ (or 35. Nb4+) or 34...Kf5 35. g4+ Kg5 36. Rxe4 dxc3 37. Re3 c2 (threatening Rxd3) 38. Nc1 Rd1+ 39. Re1. However, the knight is misplaced on the side of the board. Additionally, White's rook will be able to gain the 7th rank. I think Black should have played 33...g5 to prevent White's knight from going to f4.}
34. Nf4+ Ke5 35. Re1+ Kf5 36. Re7 g6 37. Ne2 h5 38. f3 {Hoping for a cheap checkmate by Nd4. However, these cheap tricks rarely work for anyone other than Konnie Dolgovskij, from whom I learned them. Konnie's presence was missed over the tournament weekend, especially by John Dailey, who usually beats Konnie like a raw egg (just kidding Konnie, you really were missed). The move actually serves a purpose besides the cheap trick: it denies the e4 square to Black's knight. Notice how over the next ten moves, all of the good squares will be taken from Black's knight and how neither of Black's pieces have any mobility at all.}
38...Ne6 39. Ra7 g5 40. Rh7 Kg6 41. Ra7 Nc5 42. b3 Nd7 43. Nd4 Ne5 44. Ke1 {I did not play 44. Ke2 because I would not be able to answer 44...Nc6 with 45. Rxa6, because Nxd4 is check with the king on e2.}
44...Rb6 45. Kd2 Rd6 46. f4 gxf4 47. gxf4 Nd7 48. Rc7 h4 {This makes the win easier for White because it will lead to the loss of the h-pawn. He should probably hold tight with Nb6, Nd7, etc, waiting for White to create a winning plan. I think it is dangerous for White to exchange rooks immediately under this scenario because Black's king has access to White's kingside through moves like h4 (a good move without rooks the board), Kh5 and Kg4. The only way I have found for White to improve his position is to play, at the appropriate times: Ke3, Rc8, f5+ and Kf4. with the improved position of White's king, he can then think about exchanging rooks at either c6 or e6. I have read somewhere that knight and pawn endings should be played like king and pawn endgames. Since I believe everything I read, I thought during the game that king position would be crucial before exchanging rooks.}
49. Rc8 Nb6 50. Rh8 Rd7 51. Rxh4 Nc8 52. Rg4+ Kh5 53. Rg8 Nd6 54. Kd3 Kh6 55. g4 Ne4 56. Nf5+! {I knew that I would lose the g-pawn, but this move forces the exchange of rooks in a very favorable position. Compare the position of the opposing kings.}
56...Kh7 57. Re8 Nf2+ 58. Kd4 Nxg4 59. Re7+ Rxe7 60. Nxe7 Nf2 61. Nxd5 Kg6 62. Kc5 Nd3+ 63. Kb6 Nc1 64. Kxa6 Nxa2 65. Kxb5 Kh5 66. Kc6 Kg4 67. b4 Nxc3 68. Nxc3 Kxf4 69. Nd5+ 1-0

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be2 e5 7. Nb3 Be7 8. a4 Be6 9. Be3 Nbd7 10. O-O O-O 11. f3 {White has several different possible plans in this position, most of which were developed by Karpov: a) a quick Nd5 and after Black takes on d5, White takes with the e-pawn and tries to use his four on three queenside majority; b) maneuver the knight on b3 to c1, a2, b4 and d5 in order to maintain piece control over the d5 square; c) play f4 and (i) if Black takes, attempt to pressure the d-pawn and (ii) if Black does not take, play f5 and attempt to keep piece control of d5. Against all these plans, Black tries to: a) open the b-file with b5 or b6 and pressure White's b- and c-pawns and b) either play d5 if this proves possible, or, if not, put pressure on White's e-pawn. The system Pat is using was played by Smyslov and Geller (among others) in the 1950's. From watching his games, I think Pat likes to play this by putting his Q on f2, playing a5 and maintaining a bind on the dark squares on Black's queenside. He gets a lot of good games that way.}
11...Qc7 12. a5 {I think White should have played 12. Nd5 with play like in a) in the notes after White's 11th move. After this move, Black gets the initiative on the queenside.}
12...Rfc8 13. Qd2 Bc4 {Of course, not the immediate 13...b5 because 14. axb6 e.p. Nxb6 15. Bxa6 wins the a-pawn.}  14. Rfc1 b5 {In these type of positions, Black sometimes plays b6 instead of b5 in order to try to force White to play axb6, opening up the b-file. However, here it is a bad mistake because after 14...b6, White can play 15. Bxc4! and he wins the b-pawn. Note that Pat's next move is probably a mistake because it gives Black what he wants-an open b-file.}
15. axb6 Nxb6 16. Na5 Bxe2 17. Qxe2 d5 18. exd5 Nbxd5 19. Nxd5 Nxd5 20. Bd2? {Black was threatening Nxe3 followed by Bc5, so White was right to move the bishop, but he should have played 20. Bf2. I think Black is slightly better after 20...Bb4 21. Nb3 a5 with good chances for growing pressure on the queenside, but White is still doing OK.}
20...Qb6+ 21. Kh1 Qxb2 22. Nc4 Qb5 23. Ra5! Qxc4 24. Qxc4 Rxc4 25. Rxd5 f6 {Black emerges a clear pawn up, which should win. Another move I could have made besides f6 is 25...Bf6, with the idea of playing e4 after either Ra1, or more likely c3 at a point when White's inevitable Ra1 allows me to exchange the e-pawn for White's c-pawn. My plan was to push the a-pawn down the board, which would tie up one of White's rooks to keep the pawn from queening.}
26. c3 a5 27. Rb1 a4 28. Rd7 Bf8 {I saw that I could play 28...a3 29. Rxe7 a2 30. Ra1 Rb8! 31. Rxe8 (forced) Rxe8 32. Rxa2, but I thought this ending would be harder to win than the one I had. Note also that White can refrain from taking the bishop and play 29. Rdb7 with play as in the game. }
29. g4 a3 30. Rdb7! Rd8 31. Be1 Ra4 32. Kg2 a2? {A terrible move, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. My only 'excuse' is that I had less than three minutes for my last eight moves, but the time pressure is really never an excuse. Time management is part of the game. The idea that I had in the game was good: to win White's c-pawn by playing Rd3 and then Re3, which forces White's bishop to give up its protection of the c-pawn because of the threat of Rxe1, as in the game. Once, Black has won the c-pawn, he can put his bishop on the d4-a1 diagonal and force White to give up material to stop the a-pawn from queening. A possible variation showing a correct execution of Black's idea may be 32...Rd3 33. Kf2 Bc5+ 34. Kg2 (34. Ke2 Re3+ is strong) Re3 (threatening a2, followed by Rxe1) 35. Bg3 Rxc3. White can try to stop this plan by playing 33. Rc7 instead of 33. Kf2 above and answering 33...Re3 with 34. Kf2. In this scenario, I think Black still wins by playing 33...Bd6 34. Rd7 Ra6! followed by the above-discussed plan or 34. Rc8+ Kf7 and walking the king over to the queenside to help out.}
33. Ra1 Rd3 34. Rb2 Re3 35. h4? {Pat will see this combination 99 times out of 100. I am just lucky this was game 100. After 35. Bf2 (I think this is safer than 35. Bd2 Re2+, which is irritating for White), Black wins the c-pawn, but there is no real winning chance for Black.}
35...Rxe1 36. Rxe1 a1=Q 37. Rxa1 Rxa1 38. Rc2 Ra6 39. Kf2 Rc6 40. c4 Kf7 41. Ke3 g6 42. Ke4 Ke6 43. Kd3 Bc5 44. Ra2 Rd6+ 45. Kc3 f5 46. g5 e4 47. fxe4 fxe4 48. Ra5 e3 49. Ra8 Rd7 50. Ra6+ Kf5 0-1

{Notes by David Gundlach}
{This is a particularly instructive game because of the specific lessons that appear in it. Please note: 1) the detrimental effect of playing "automatic" and "reasonable" moves, 2) the importance of playing thematically and avoiding dissipating one's forces through unthematic sorties, 3) the resilience that is inherent in a reasonably sound position, 4) the simple truth that the logic of chess can be unforgiving, and 5) the essential fact that opportunities missed rarely return, so it is crucial to seize them as soon as they appear.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 
{This is the Paulsen Variation of the Sicilian. White often aims at a kingside attack and seeks a long-term initiative by avoiding direct and immediate confrontation that could result in the exchange of pieces and a consequent reduction in the potency of the attack.}
5...Nc6 6. Nb3 Nf6 7. Nc3 Qc7 {Although this a standard move in this position, serious consideration should also be given to pushing the pawn to d5. Since White has chosen to disengage in the center in order to retain long-term kingside options, engagement in the center by Black is a logical response. While a player who must win at all costs might avoid immediate central engagement in order to enhance the imbalance of the position, this may risk defeat unnecessarily in a situation in which a draw could be considered an acceptable result.}
8. Qe2 Be7 {This is an entirely reasonable response. Yet, we have to ask if it takes the fullest advantage of every opportunity in the position. Perhaps, 8..Bb4 would set more problems for White. White's proposed strategy would then be in jeopardy as Black would participate more actively in deciding the strategic course of the game. If allowed, Black would seize the opportunity to initiate central action with an early d5 that would tend to squelch White's hope for : 1) central restriction and 2) kingside action.}
9. Be3 O-O 10. f4 d6 {Since White has launched his assault before castling, Black still has the chance to counter strongly in the center. A more active alternative to the text move that is certainly worthy of attention is 10...d5 (or a combination of Bb4 and d5). After 11. exd5 exd5, the center has opened so that White's kingside effort stalls while the action shifts to the center. Yes, it is true that Black will have an isolated queen pawn. However, before the endgame, God has placed the middlegame. The stymieing of White's initiative toward the kingside and the generation of active piece play for Black should offer a favorable alternative to the more passive and personally dangerous continuation Black chose in the actual game. If White would elect to try to retain greater chances for attacking the Black monarch by playing 11. e5, this would likely work to Black's advantage after 11...Nd7. His defensive resources appear fully adequate, and his counterattacking possibilities are at least as dangerous as White's offensive potential. This is all Black could ask from the opening, and it should cause him to weigh 10...d5 very seriously.}
11. g4 b5 12. g5 Ne8 {While this move enables the knight to participate in the direct defense of Black's king. I prefer 12...Nd7 by a wide margin. It would permit much more active counterplay and would allow the king rook to move if the Black monarch should turn out to need an escape route.}
13. a3 {The game is rapidly reaching the critical phase in which a single tempo could spell the difference between victory and defeat. Consequently, this move--which fails to offer any real restraint, fails to get White's king to safety or to connect his rooks, and fails to advance White's attack--must be elevated as an unnecessary loss of time. More to the point would be 13. Rg1.}
13...Bb7 14. Rg1 g6 {Although Black's desire to restrain White's advancing assault on his king is understandable, Black needs desperately to open the position and trade off as many of White's pieces as possible that might easily participate in any effort to overrun the Black king. If he can endanger the position of White's king in the process, that would offer an additional incentive. Since the text meets none of these goals, it cannot be the best in the position if any option that does not meet these criteria is available. Therefore, a move like 14...b4 commends itself to one's attention. After 15. axb4 Nxb4, the process of accomplishing these goals would have begun. A try like 15. Na4 would decentralize White's knight and allow 15...bxa3 under conditions favorable to Black.
After 14...b4, White might look to direct, sacrificial attack as his best hope, as in the following lines. Yet, the final variation seems to refute that decisively as a viable option. One example of the attack might be: 15. Qh5 bxc3 16.Rg3 cxb2 17. Rb1 g6 18. Qh6 Ng7 19. Rh3 Nh5 20. Rxh5 gxh5 21. e5 f5 22. gxf6 e.p. Bxf6 23. exf6 Rf7 24. Ke2 Raf8 (much better is 24...Kh8) 25. Rg1+ Kh8 26. Bxh7 and White wins handily. A variant of this line that fares no better is: 17...f5 18. exf5 Nd1 19. f6 Rxf6 20. Qxh7+ Kf8 21. Qh8+ Kf7 22. g6+ Rxg6 23. Bxg6+ Kf6 24. Qh4 mate (or, in this line, 19...Nxf6 20. gxf6 Qc3+ 21. Bd2 Qxf6 22. Bxf7+ Kh8 23. Bg6+ Kg8 24. Qh7 mate ). However, Black appears to have fully adequate defensive resources and a won game after 15...f6 16. e5 f5 (not 16...g6 17. Bxg6 winning) 17. Bc4 Nd8 18. Rg3 g6 19. Qh6 Qxc4 20. Rh3 Rf7 21. exd6 Bxd6 22. Bd4 (threatening Qxg6+ and Rh8 mate) 22...e5 23. fxe5 Bf8 24. Qh4 bxc3 25. Rxc3 Qe6 and White's attack has stalled in a hopeless position. Finally, if Black prefers to try to maintain the balance as much as possible by responding directly to the threats around his king, 14...f6 appears to be another acceptable approach (although it, too, leads to sharply two-edged play).}

15. f5 {To be able to properly evaluate this move, we must begin by assessing the thematic elements of the position. Black has dark square weaknesses around his king that are not protected by his dark-squared bishop. White exercises considerable restriction throughout the center and kingside. He also has excellent prospects down the king rook file. Overall, his position is favorable--although not as overwhelming as it might appear at first glance. Black's position is resilient, and White remains uncastled in a situation where the center is still fluid. He cannot afford to do anything that compromises his central influence unless it leads to an immediate net gain. The text is clearly too committal in light of these considerations. It reduces the restrictive influence of White's central pawns and minor pieces and allows Black's knight to occupy far too important a square. This would only offer a viable option if the net gain were greater than the loss. It clearly is not.
Three better avenues for maintaining the initiative begin with the moves h4, Rg3, or Nd4. The point of 15. h4 is clearly to play h5 and pry open the king rook file. White would only exchange at g6 after doubling his queen and rook on the h-file so Black would have no time to defend with Rf7. White would have options to play his rook to the center or down the king rook file in the line beginning with 15. Rg3. The third variation, 15. Nd4, would be aimed at eliminating Black's knight at c6 so that White could exercise control of the dark squares around Black's king with his dark-squared bishop. It would also prevent Black from occupying e5 with his knight when the pawn push to f5 becomes appropriate because of the impetus it lends to White's kingside assault.}
15...exf5 16. Nd5 Qd8 17. O-O-O Ne5 18. Bb6 {Since White's hope lie on the kingside, this dissipation to the queenside cannot ultimately serve him well unless he can gain a tangible advantage from it. There is a military principle that one's forces should be concentrated to maximize their effectiveness and increase the chance for success. This is equally true in chess. Scattering the pieces by forays to insignificant sectors of the board is just a step down the slippery slope to a loss.}
18...Qd7 19. Rdf1 {This is a serious error. He is trying to prevent the penetration of Black's light-squared bishop to f3 after White exchanges his knight for Black's dark-squared bishop and captures the pawn at f5. However, having overextended his forces previously, it is now time for White to try to consolidate and enter a position in which he should be able to preserve some drawing chances. The line could involve retreating his bishop to d4 and maintaining an active central control in partial compensation for the pawn. For White to "go for broke" at this point is to make Black's game far easier than it has to be. This is the type of situation in which attitude can play a greater role than the actual position on the board.}
19...Bxd5 20. exd5 Qb7 21. Bd4 {It's too late now. It is instructive how unforgiving the cold logic of chess can be. The opportunity missed rarely returns. The game that was close a scant half dozen moves ago is now fully lost.}
21...Qxd5 22. Bxf5 {White would rather use what resources remain to him in the hope of a swindle than lie down passively for the coup de gras. This is undoubtedly the proper choice in circumstances this critical--although reaching this point was only accomplished by improper choices earlier. Black's play through the rest of the game provides a clear demonstration of the fundamental unsoundness of White's final effort (despite the pitfalls White offers for Black along the way).}
22...gxf5 23. Rxf5 Ng7 24. Rf6 Ng6 25. Rxg6 fxg6 26. Qxe7 Nf5 27. Qe2 Nxd4 28. Nxd4 Qxd4 29. Qe6+ Rf7 30. Rd1 Qe5 31. Qh3 Re8 32. Kb1 Qxg5 33. Rxd6 Qf5 34. Qc3 Qf1+ {The remaining moves (if there were any) were not recorded on the score sheet to which I had access, but the game resulted in a Black victory. Even the errors in this game contained instructive lessons. Black's passive play in the early stages led him to the brink of defeat, but his stubborn and resourceful defense enables him to capitalize on the situation when White dissipated his advantage. White was unable to muster the tenacity that Black displayed in difficult positions. The final result was as least as much a matter of psychology as chess-playing skill. This game is also notable for missed opportunities. Remember (as I stated in the chess workshop in Parkersburg this past summer): It is crucial to evaluate what the theme of any position is and play according to its requirements. We must play the position before us. Preconceptions contain the seeds of defeat.} 0-1

{Notes by Andy Katz}
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3 {This is played to prevent Black's Ng4, which was impossible on the previous move because of Bb5+. The system White is playing is called the "Yugoslav Attack" (An interesting name; considering there no longer a "Yugoslavia", perhaps this should be called the "Serbian Attack" - a name sure to strike fear into the hearts of any chess-playing Bosnian. Anyway, I digress.). My willingness to go into this wild line even though I only needed a draw to win the tournament should not be taken for bravery. Quite frankly, I have no clue how to play for a draw. My thinking has always been to play the best I can and hope it's good enough to prevent a loss. This is especially true when playing someone as good as Donald. For future reference, however, anyone who would like to share a good drawing line for White, please feel free to write me at 1424 Kanawha Blvd. East, Charleston, WV 25301.}
7...O-O 8. Qd2 Nc6 9. Bc4 Bd7 10. O-O-O Rc8 11. Bb3 Ne5 12. h4 {Fischer once described White's plan when playing the Yugoslav Attack as "pry open the h-file, sac, sac, mate." Unfortunately, he never really said what White should be doing when Black is sacrificing on the c-file and playing for mate, too.}
12...Nc4 13. Bxc4 Rxc4 14. h5 Nxh5 15. g4 Nf6 16. Kb1? {This is way too slow. Realizing that I only needed a draw, I am trying to play this very aggressive line "solidly". Wrong idea. Once I decided to play this line, I became committed to putting caution aside. I am lucky I wasn't mated. Much better is an immediate 16. Bh6.}
16...Qc7 {Usually Black plays 16...Qa5. Donald has a new idea here. Luckily for me, it wasn't a good one (see the note to Black's move 20).}
17. Bh6 Bxh6 {Planning the wrong sacrifice of the exchange. After the game we looked at 17...Nxe4!, followed by 18...Bxd4. Bob Bukovac who knows this line very well, said that this is normally the "book" idea when White has not wasted a tempo as I have by playing Kb1. This is a very complicated position with many possible variables, however, considering White's waste of time, Black is probably better.}
18.Qxh6 Rxc3 19. bxc3 Rc8 {At the time, I thought Black's sacrifice was a little premature, but this is probably a matter of style. Also, I am not sure why Donald did not play 19...Qxc3. My next move was to protect the pawn at c3 in hopes that it would shield the more vital pawn at c2.}
20. Rd3 a5 {This is Donald's idea that I was referring to in the note after Black's 16th move. Donald's idea is well grounded in the positional factors of the game: White's weakened queenside makes a3 devastating if Black has the time to get the a-pawn that far. Luckily for me, he does not. His idea is much too slow. Much better is 20...Qa5. However, after 21. Ne2, with the idea of playing g5 and Nf4, White is probably better. One line I have analyzed is cool: (after 21. Ne2) 21...Bb5 22. Rd5 e6 (Obviously not 22...Nxd5, because 23. Qxh7+ mates the next move.) 23. g5! Nh5 (if 23...Nxd5 24. Qxh7+ Kf8 25. exd5 Bxe2 26. dxe6! and now (a) 26...Qb5+ 27. Kc1 Qe8 28. Qh8+ Ke7 29. Qf6 mate; (b) 26...Q(or R)c7 27. Qh8+ Ke7 28. Qf6+ Ke8 29. Rh8 mate; (c) 26...fxe6 27. Qh8+ Ke7 28. Rh7 mate.) 24. Nf4! Nxf4! (if 24...exd5 25. Nxd5 looks crushing. The only way to stop the threat of 26. Rxh5 and 27. Nf6 is for Black to play 25...f5, but after 26. gxf6 e.p. Rc7 (again the threat is Rxh5 and now Qg7 mate.) 27. Ne7+ Rxe7 28. fxe7 is winning). 25. Qh7+ Kf8 26. Qh8+ Ke7 27. Qf6+ Kd7 28. Qxf7+ Kc6 29. Qxf4 exd5 30. dxe5+ Kc7 31. Rh7+ Kb8 32. Qxd6+ Ka8 33. Qe7 Ba6 34. d6 Qxc3 35. Qe4! After all of this stuff, is White winning? I think so, but who knows. At any rate, I give these variations, which are so full of holes I'm sure, only to show some of the wild tactics that can develop in these type of positions.}
21. g5 Nh5 22. f4 Qd8 23. Rxh5 gxh5 24. Nf5 {Again, not the best. My idea is to create a mating net with pawn's around the Black king, but I wasn't sufficiently paying attention to what Black can do. The knight needed to help defend the queenside. Much better is 25. f5! with the idea of playing the rook to the g-file and playing g6.}
24...Bxf5 25. exf5 Qf8 {Much better is Qb6+, looking for counterplay on the queenside. If Black had done this, the game would probably end in a perpetual check.}
26. Qxh5 Qg7 27. f6 exf6 {It probably is slightly better to keep the g-file closed and play 27...Qg6, but White should be winning here anyway. }
28. gxf6 Qg6 {Of course not 28...Qxf6 because 29. Qg4+. The variation I was hoping for over the board was 28...Qg1+ 29. Rd1 Qc5 30. f5 Kh8 (or 30...Kf8 31. Re1 is also a win.) 31. Qh6 Rg8 21. Qxh7+!! Stiffer resistance than in the game would have been offered by 28...Qg1+ 29. Rd1 Qg6 30. Qh3 Re8 (if 30...Rd8 31. Rxd6!) but 31. Qd7 is still winning for White.}
29. Qh3 {Now there is a forced win for White. The immediate threats are Qxc8 and Rg3.}
29...Qg1+ 30. Kb2 Qb6+ 31. Kc1 Qg1+ 32. Rd1 Qc5 33. Re1! {Cutting off Black's escape route.}
33...Kh8 34. Rh1 {A prettier win was 34. Qg4 Rg8 35. Re8!}
34...h5 35. f5 Qa3+ 36. Kb1 1-0

Bg5, which would prompt Black to play 8...e6 and shut in the c8 Bishop.} 8...e6?! {Pinning the knight by 8...Bg4 is stronger for Black.} 9. Rd1 Be7 10. Bg5 {CS: 10. e5 is a threat, and Black failed to address that threat/ I suspect that you would have considered it if Tom had been playing at a slower pace.} 10...h6 11. Bxf6 {JA: So as not to lose a tempo, but 11. Bf4 is probably a better move.} {CS: Correct, and now Black's control over the dark squares, including e5, is troublesome. White soon reaches good development yet few prospects!} 11...Bxf6 12. Rac1 O-O {JA: Tom played his opening moves with confidence, which was a little unnerving. Now I had to come up with a plan.} 13. Qd2 {JA: Questionable. It may have been more prudent to play 13. Bb3 in anticipation of ...b5 by Black and wait to see what happens.} {CS: What happens is that once Black plays ...b5, Bb7, and Rac8, the game is decided.} 13...Ne5 {JA: An unexpected, but nice move.} 14. Nxe5 Bxe5 15. Bb3 {JA: I'm still a pawn down without much to show for it.} 15...b5 16. a3 {JA: Wished I could have thought of something better. I was afraid that 16. f4 would be loosening.} {CS: 16. f4 deserves consideration, as played later in the game. Why not now? 16. f4 Qb6+ 17. Kh1 Bxc3 18. Rxc3 Rd8 19. Rd3 Bb7 20. e5 d5 21. Rg3 with ideas of f5 and Bc2/Qd3.} 16...Qb6 {JA: Tom continues to play well. It was at this point I thought things were becoming critical. If I didn't come up with something quickly, I could kiss it goodbye. Then I got an idea.} 17. Kh1 {JA: I noted it might be possible to swing my pieces over to the kingside quicker than Tom could defend. I wanted to prepare f4 to get a nice pawn duo on the fourth rank.} 17...Rd8 {JA: Hmmm. Tom just removed another piece from the vicinity of his king.} {CS: Right, 17...Bb7 is stronger.} 18. f4 {JA: I was beginning to like my position.} 18...Bf6 {CS: 18...Bxc3?! saves time: 19:Rxc3 Bb7 20. Bc2 Rac8 and Black is better; 20. f5!? is interesting.} 19. Rf1 {JA: With an eye on the eventual pawn push to f5.} 19...Bb7 {JA: Threatens to win the pawn push after Bxc3. What to do about it? I decided to defend with the Queen, but what square? I had trouble making this decision and was conscious of the clock ticking away the minutes.} 20. Qe2 {JA: Removing the quue off the same file of Black's rook with the idea of going eventually to g4 of h5.} 20...Qd4 {JA: Tom had touched his queen, intending to move her to c6, when he suddenly realized that White would be left with the discovered attack on Black's misplaced queen. He thought thing over for a while before finally playing the text move.} 21. f5 {CS: It's already difficult for Black! 20...Rac8 21. f5 and White has chances; for example: 21...Bg5 22. fxe6!? Bxc1 23. e7?! or 23. exf7+ with unclear play. Even 22. Rcd1 leaves White with compensation for the pawn.} 21...e5 22. Bd5 Bxd5 23. Nxd5 {JA: The eternal knight.} 23...Bg5 24. Rcd1 Qa7 25. Qg4 Rac8 26. h4 Be3 27. Rf3 Bc5 28. f6 {JA: This combination jumped out at me.} 28...g6 29. Ne7+ Kh7 30. Nxc8 Rxc8 31. Qxc8 1-0

1. Nf3 d5 2. g3 c5 3. c4 d4 4. Bg2 Nc6 5. O-O e5 6. d3 f6 7. e3 {Since Black is taking the time to make pawn moves in preparation for a possible attack on the White king, White correctly chooses to diffuse the coming storm and generate counterplay.} 7...Be6 8. exd4 cxd4 {Forced, but good.} 9. Nbd2 Qd7 {Although this move appears to clear the queenside for castling, the main purposes are to support the white-squared bishop for the invasion of the kingside and, especially at this point in the game, preemptive defense of the light squares of the queenside so White will not have counterplay at a critical moment.} 10. a3 {Good! Preparing immediate play in the area where White has a preponderance of pawns. This, of course, serves to prevent Black from castling on that side, as well, and necessitates that Black deploy his pieces and get his king to safety expeditiously.} 10...a5 11. Qa4 Ra6 {Turning the apparent pin on Black's a-pawn into a restrictive force that prevents White's queenside advance. Apart from this, Black would face great obstacles to getting his pieces out on a timely basis.} 12. Ne4 {If White tries 12. Qb5, then 12... Nge7 13. Ne4 Nc8 (threatening 14, then N817) 14. Nc5 Bxc5 15. Qxc5 N8a7 (threatening to win the queen with 16...b6) 16. a4 Nb4 and White must sacrifice his knight and leave Black with a won game in order to rescue his queen.} 12...Bd6 13. Bd2 Nge7 14. Rfc1 {Since Black has almost completed his development and will likely play down the e and f-files, White decides to support his force on the queenside and make his bid there before Black can generate an attack on the other wing. While this is certainly a reasonable plan, the placement of White's forces suggests he might do better to engage Black on the e and f-files with 14. Nh4 and a quick pawn thrust to f4.} 14...O-O 15. Qd1 {Necessary before White can commence his action on the queenside because of Black's excellently posted rook at a6.} 15...h6 {This apparently quiet move signals that the Black kingside is about to surge forward. The g5 square will be unavailable to the White pieces, so the strong 16...f5 now looms large. White, despite his fine effort so far, will be forced to play very actively and carefully to avoid being overrun on the kingside.} 16. Nxd6 {Although this is consistent with White's plan to roll his queenside pawns before Black storms his king, his centralized knight is clearly too valuable to trade for Black's bad bishop. For better or worse, White must initiate his queenside action without hesitation. A likely line would run 16. b4 axb4 17. axb4 Rxa1 18. Rxa1 f5 with both sides observing the thematic requirements of the game and a serious fight yet in store.} 16...Qxd6 17. c5 Qd7 18. b4 b5 {Apart from this move, White's strategy would be largely successful. This sharp response exposes the weaknesses in the White camp, however.} 19. Be1 {Trying to bring the knight to a more effective post, but it is already too late.} 19...axb4 20. axb4 Rfa8 21. Rcb1 {Preparing to trade one set of rooks and then play his knight to d2 because the b-pawn will be held by the remaining rook.} 21...Nd5 {What was merely a knight at e7 becomes a monster at d5. This also prevents White from continuing with his idea because of the threatened fork at c3.} 22. Bd2 Ra2 {The domination of the a-file becomes domination of the second rank, as well.} 23. Rxa2 Rxa2 24. Qe1 {Stopping the invasion of c3, but Black's position is already overwhelming.} 24...Bf5 {The initial move of a subtle maneuver that nets two tempi and, ultimately the game.} 25. Rb3 {More or less forced. If 25. Bf1 then White is reduced to utter passivity after Black plays g5 and invades either the queenside or kingside with his queen.} 25...Nce7 {Black supports his splendid knight at d5 against discovered attacks so that his queen is free to move away from support of that piece and engage White more fully elsewhere.} 26. Nh4 Be6 27. Rb1 {Necessary because of the potential discovered attack on the rook.} 27...g5 28. Nf3 Bf5 {Now the logic of Black's deployment is seen. The return of the bishop to f5 presents White with insurmountable difficulties. If 29. Rb3, then 29...Qe6 stretches White's defense beyond its limit because of the threatened discovered attack on the White rook. If 29. Bf1, then 29...Bg4 places White under extreme pressure. For instance, 30. Kg2? Bxf3+ 31. Kxf3 Qc6 32. Kg4 (32. Ke2?? Nc3++) 32...f5+ 33. Kh3 Ne3 34. Bxe3 g4+ 35. Kh4 Qf6+36. Kh5 Qf7+ 37. Kh4 Ng6+ 38. Kh5 Nf4+ 39. Kxh6 Qg6++ or 30. Be2 Qf5 31. Kg2 when either 31...Bxf3+ 32. Bxf3 Qxd3 or 31...Nc3 32. Bxc3 dxc3 should quickly deliver Black the full point.} 29. Nxe5 {Admittedly, this move was sheer desperation, but White was down to five minutes at this point. His position was strategically lost, and he was being presented with problems of increasing difficulty on every turn. Although this choice is not correct, it does offer Black a couple of ways to go wrong and is a reasonable possibility when the practical realities of the situation are considered.} 29...fxe5 30. Qxe5 Rxd2 31. Bxd5+ {Hoping to provide a getaway square for his king at g2 in the event that his rook would be needed in the coming fray. Although better, 31. Re1 was also entirely hopeless.} 31...Nxd5 32. Re1 Nxb4 33. Qb8+ Kg7 {Required to avoid justifying White's sacrifices. If the Black king moved to f7, then White's queen could invade h8 with unnecessary play. If, instead, the Black king played to h7, then White's queen would have access to f8 and more tactics. Finally, if Black played 33...Qc8, then 34. Qxb5 creates multiple serious threats.} 34. Qe5+ Kg6 35. Qd6+ Qxd6 36. cxd6 Nxd3 37. Kg2 {Yes, this is an error, but White simply had no moves.} 37...Rxf2+ {Of course, 37...Nxe1+ must also mate shortly. Black chose the text to take over the second rank and force mate in another way.} 38. Kg1 Bh3 {White resigns. If 39. d7, then 39...Rg2+ 40. Kf1 Rd2 (or c2, b2, or a2)+ 41. Kg1 Nxe1 42. d8=Q Nf3+ 43. Kh1 Rxh2 mate.} 0-1

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 b6 {Although the player of the Black pieces has enjoyed some success with this move, the weakening of the light squares and leisurely approach to development must run afoul of opening principles and suffer swift retribution against accurate play.} 4. d4 Nd7 {Although not pleasant, the concession of the center by 4...exd4 was necessary. This, in turn, would only advance White's development and bring Black's light squares under greater pressure.} 5. dxe5 Qe7 {The recapture, 5...dxe5 loses a rook after 6. Qd5, and the alternative 5...Nxe5, also leaves Black in a dreadful position after 6. Nxe5 dxe5 7. Bxf7+ Ke7 8. Qxd8+ Kxd8. Nonetheless, this latter variation offers more hope than the game continuation since material would be reduced and mating fears eliminated.} 6. Bd5 Rb8 7.

He feels justifiable concern about the threat in the preceding note, but 9...Bg4 to restrict White slightly is likely better. This, of course, would not alleviate many of Black's difficulties after 10. c4} 10.

Bxf6 {White eliminates Black's best defender to enhance the proportionate influence of his pieces around the Black monarch. White, of course, could have taken the knight first and then offered check, but the move order in the game gives Black more to think about and more opportunity to err.} 13...gxf6 14. Nd4 Rg8 15.

Qb3 Bb4+?! {After the game, Markle and Stephen sat down with Bob Bukovac and took a good look at this position. Bob felt that Black had a lot more in this position and played through numerous lines to see the other options. The group, along with Robert Canary, finally centered on lines starting with 10...Nb4. The idea of allowing 9...Qxa1 is to trap the Black queen. If the queen manages to escape, White has little compensation for the material deficit. Here is an example of such a line for Black: 10...Nb4 11.Bb5+ Bd7 12. Bxd7+ Kxd7 13. a4 a5 14. O-O Qa2. Thus, it would seem that 8. Bxh6 is not the best move.} 11. Kf1 Bc3 12. Bb5 Bb2 13. Ke2 O-O 14.

Ke2 c3 {Facing a central passed pawn in a king and pawn ending with his only compensation being a queenside majority. Black pulls off a crafty ending based on precise timing. The defense of 46. b3 only leads to a prolonged queening variation where the white king must chase down the black c-pawn on c1. Thereafter, the black king takes the g-pawn and queens with check. White must either submit to further losses or to the swapping of the new queens. In either scenario, the black king maintains the needed opposition to win the critical e-pawn and the game. His early resignation indicates that White may not have seen 46...b3 as a possible defense, or that he saw it all. A nice ending. White resigned.} 0-1

{Notes by Bob Bukovac.  After missing a clean equalizer, 10...Bg5, Black continued aimlessly. A rejuvenated White then engineered attacking possibilities sufficient enough to strip Black of a pawn and force him to submit to a bad ending. White elected to continue carefully (26. Qf1) as opposed to 26. a4 and then eventually drifted into a passive and untenable position.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 Nf6 4. Nc3 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Nc6 6. f3 e5 7. Nb3 Be6 8. Bg5 Be7 9. Bxf6 Bxf6 10.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be2 e5 7. Nb3 Be7 8. O-O {8. Be3 is the older variation Karpov popularized. White threatens invasion at b6 and often would use a2-a4-a5 to secure it. White would fight for control of d5 and attempt to apply pressure, eventually, to Pd6.} 8...O-O 9. f4 {This newer approach allows for e5xf4 when White can recapture in one move with Bc1, rather than Rf1xf4.} 9...exf4?! {9...b5 Possibly best is to pressure Pe4 by Bc8-b7.} 10. Bxf4 Be6 11. Qe1 {With Bf4 already bearing down on Pd6 it's only natural to place Qg3 and Rd1 to add more pressure. With Qg3 White can also contemplate attacks at g7.} 11...Nc6 12. Qg3 Ne5 {This blocks the direct threat and offers a pawn (perhaps poison).} 13. Rad1 {I briefly looked at Bxe5 and declined to become immersed in any complications related to that. I made this decision more on principle than on review of concrete variations.} 13...Qc7 14. Kh1 {Preparing Nb3-d4 while avoiding problems stemming from Qc7-b6.} 14...Rfd8 {After this he's ready to play Ne5-g6 to chase Bf4 away.} 15. Nd4 Rac8? {15...Ng6 or 15...Bc4 16. Bxc4 Qxc4 17. Nf5 Bf8 18. Bg5.} 16. Nxe6 fxe6 17. Qh3 {Now Black has no convenient way to defend Pe6.} 17...Nc4 {17...Qd7?? 18. Bxe5+-. 17...Kf7 is simply scary to contemplate; despite there being no immediate forced win in sight.} 18. Qxe6+ Kh8 19. Bxc4 {White chooses to simplify to an endgame. Nc4 is quite good and there isn't any other direct attack on Kh8 which is forceful enough to distract Black from his queen-side probing.} 19...Qxc4 20. Qxc4 Rxc4 21. e5 {21. Rfe1? Ng4 and Black gets his pieces very well organized.} 21...dxe5 22. Rxd8+ Bxd8 23. Bxe5 {This is the position I envisioned when I proceeded with 19. Bxc4. White's bishop is better than Bd8 and White has an extra pawn.} 23...Kg8 24. Rd1 Be7 25. h3 {The beginning of a plan to keep Nf6 restrained, if not to chase it to worse squares. It also gives Kh1 air.} 25...Rc6 {This is the correct decision. Black must wait without weakening his position further.} 26. g4 Re6 27. Bd4 Ne8 28. Kg2 Nd6 29. Kf3 {White can now consider b2-b3, Rd1-d2-e2 to simplify further.} 29...Bg5 30. b3 Rh6 31. Kg3 Bh4+ 32. Kg2 Re6 33. Rd2 Re8 34. Re2 Rd8 35. Be5 {White's bishop isn't doing much immediately, but it maintains the best diagonal and restrains Black while White marshals all his forces.} 35...Nf7 36. Bf4 {Black has finally chased the bishop out of the center, but in so doing has Bh4 & Nf7 oddly placed. White is still well in control.} 36...g6 {36...Bf6 37. Ne4 Be7 38. Rd2.} 37. Ne4 Rd4 38. c3 Rd8 {38...Rd7 39. Nc5 doesn't help much.} 39. c4 Kf8 40. Nc5 {+-} 40...Rd1 41. Nxb7 Rd4 42. Nc5 Nd8 {42...Rxf4 43. Ne6+} 43. Bc7 {It's always a bit odd when one seeks to trade a bishop for knight, but in this situation I felt further simplification was called for and it was easier than fighting through his pieces (to advance pawns).} 43...Kf7 44. Bxd8 Rxd8 45. Nxa6 Rd3 46. Nc5 Rg3+ 47. Kh2 Rc3 48. Ne4 Rc1 49. c5 Be7 50. b4 Rc4 51. a3 Rc1 52. Kg3 {Who'd have guessed White could march his king (on the dark squares no less) all the way to e5 uncontested.} 52...Ke6 53. Kf4 Kd7 54. Ke5 Kc6 55. a4 Rc4 56. b5+ Kc7 57. Kd5 Rxa4?? {There is no perfect defense, but this move overlooks a tactic which hastens the end.} 58. Nc3 {Threatening both Ra4 & Be7!} 58...Rb4 {58...Ra3 59. Rxe7+ Kd8 60. Re3} 59. Rxe7+ {Black resigns.} 1-0

1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 d5 3. Bg2 c6 {White will think twice before playing c2-c4, not knowing whether White's d5xc4 is possible. In any event Black intends to control the light squares solidly, to blunt Bg2. Black plays this quite like a Torre Attack Reversed.} 4. d3 Bg4 5. Nbd2 e6 {5...Nbd7 to prevent Nf3-e5, was also considered.} 6. O-O Nbd7 7. c4 Be7 {7...Bd6 isn't preferred because it would only aim at Pg3 (granite). From e7, it might transfer later to f6, hitting White's queen-side. A cost of  Be7 is that in some cases that's a better square for Black's queen.} 8. Rb1 a5 9. b3 {Slightly dubious since he's already spent a tempo on Ra1-b1. After 9. a3, Black probably wouldn't play 9...a4?!. Preferable would be 9...O-O 10. b4 axb4, when Be7 guards square b4, forcing White to either gambit the pawn or recapture with 11. axb4 leaving Black on the open a-file and the b-file still blocked (though White can play b4-b5 to pry open some light squares). In light of 10. b4! , since 10...axb3 11. Rxb3 still gives White good play against Pb7, while Pa3 is pretty secure.} 9...O-O 10. Bb2 Qc7 {Preparing Rf8-b8, b7-b5, a5-a4 to fight where White has left himself a little awkward. I already had the germ of an idea to play Rf8-b8, Qc7-d8-f8, Be7-a3 attempting to trade-off White's better bishop.} 11. Qc2 Rfc8 {Leaving open the question of whether Qc7 will have to move. I also liked the idea of aligning Rc8 with his Qc2; especially since he had so few alternative squares for his queen.} 12. Rfe1 b5 13. e4 Qd8 {13...a4} 14. e5? {In my opinion this is very bad. It blocks Bb2 and takes pressure off the light squares, so Bg2 will remain blocked. Better is 14. Ne5 Nxe5 15. Bxe5 Nd7 16. Bb2 dxc4 17. dxc4 Nc5 18. f3 Bh5 19. Rbd1.} 14...Ne8 {The knight is definitely awkward at e8, but the position has "slowed" and that means Black has time to reorganize.} 15. Nf1 Bf5 16. Ne3 Bg6 17. cxd5 cxd5 18. Qe2 Nc5 {18...a4} 19. Rbd1 b4 {Both securing c3 for a piece to occupy and blocking Pb3, so that a5-a4xb3 will make Pb3 a target as well as helping ensure the a-file opens for a rook. 19...a4 20. b4} 20. h4 {20. d4 Ne4} 20...a4 21. Nd4 {Uncovering the threat to play h4-h5, winning Bg6.} 21...axb3 22. Nxb3 {22. axb3 Ra2 -/+} 22...h6 {Since Pa2 is already exposed to attack there's no rush to capture it. Black gives his bishop an escape square first. 22...Rxa2?? 23. Nc1 securing Pd3 and threatening (chasing away) Ra2, so h4-h5 would be a hammer blow.} 23. h5 Bh7 24. Nxc5 Rxc5 25. Bd4 Rca5 26. Rd2 Nc7 {Probably best was to bring the queen to the a-file first. I was concerned, however, that the position was becoming "faster" and that Ne8 might be a problem piece. 26...Qc8.} 27. Bb6 {More or less forcing Ra5 off the 5th rank, where it supported Pd5, as well as attacked Pa2.} 27...R5a6 28. Bxc7 Qxc7 {Now White has a chance to "blast open" the position to gain some piece activity.} 29. Nxd5 exd5 30. Bxd5 Rd8 {Black has to change direction quickly. Pa2 is defended sufficiently and Pd3 might become a threat to advance.} 31. Bc4 Rc6 {Holding up the advance of Pd3.} 32. Rc2 {Possibly planning Bc4xf7+ and Qe2-f3+ to win Rc6.} 32...Bc5 33. Rec1 {Now the tactics are a bit murkier, but Black has to hold back Pd3 and White tries to "unleash" his pieces in a furious attack.} 33...Qe7 {Seeing no way to prevent White from forcing events I move to a defensive and slightly counter-attacking posture.} 34. Qf3 {34. Bxf7+ Qxf7 35. Rxc5 Rxc5 36. Rxc5 Bxd3.} 34...Rc7 35. Re2? {More or less capitulation because Black uses the time to improve Bh7 and put a halt to all of White's offensive possibilities. 35. Bxf7+ Qxf7 36. Qxf7+ Kxf7 37. Rxc5 Rxc5 38. Rxc5 Bxd3 39. Rc7+ Kf8 40. Rb7.} 35...Qg5 36. Rce1 Bf5 37. e6 {Now or never.} 37...fxe6 {Simply 37...Bxe6 makes it easy for Black. However, I was hoping to threaten Bf5-g4xh5 and didn't want to offer a bishop trade so soon.} 38. Re5! {Out of the blue there's this great tactical shot and I have to squirm more than I'd expected. Fortunately there's a defense.} 38...Rf8 39. Rxf5 Qxf5 40. Bxe6+ Qxe6 41. Qxf8+ Bxf8 42. Rxe6 Rc1+ {I hoped to confuse my opponent into letting me win Pa2, rather than just Pf2. Simplest is 42...Rc2 43. Ra6 Bc5.} 43. Kg2 Rd1 44. Kf3 {I'd hoped to persuade my opponent to defend Pd3 by 44. Re3 when 44...Rd2 allows me to win Pa2. 44. Rd6? Bxd6 -+. Instead he just gives me Pd3 (as he had to do).} 44...Rxd3+ 45. Ke4?? {And then, when he does blunder... 45. Kg2 is safer.} 45...Rd2? {I passed by the opportunity and go back after Pa2 the wrong way. His Ke4 got in the way of Re6-e2, but I didn't quite grasp that. Instead I was looking at Rd2 as threatening two pawns and the Rd2-e2+. It was nonsense. Rd3-a3 was much better. 45...Ra3!} 46. Ke3?? {And, to make matters worse, he blunders again and lets me have Pa2 after all. 46. Ra6.} 46...Rxa2 47. Re8 Ra7 {Threatening Ra7-e7+.} 48. Rb8 Kf7 49. f4 Ra3+ 50. Kf2 Rc3 51. g4 Be7 {In some time pressure my play became much worse. Be7 doesn't prevent g4-g5 because it must continue defending Pb4. 51...Bd6 52. Rb7+ Rc7 53. Rb5 Bc5+ 54. Ke2 Ke6 55. Kd3 Kd5 56. Rb8 Rf7 57. f5 Ra7 58. Rd8+ Bd6 59. Kc2 Ra3. 51...b3 frees Bf8 to move as needed 51...Rc4.} 52. g5 hxg5 53. fxg5 b3 54. g6+ Kf6 {White's position is desperate. If he allows Kf6-g5 and Be7-f6 he won't get his pawns past the dark squares.} 55. h6 gxh6 56. Rb6+ Kg7 {Rc3 has the duty of defending Pb3, so the king goes back. That's not to say this is the only way to win. Black could preserve his bishop and trade Pb3 for Pg6, winning by advancing Ph6, eventually. However, the dark square bishop doesn't help to advance the pawn to h1, so there's some risk of White holding a draw. Best, in my opinion, was to give the bishop for Pg6, simplifying to an ending with two pawns which could advance. This is nearly always a winning situation.} 57. Rb7 Kxg6 58. Rxe7 b2 59. Rb7 Rc2+ {White's rook is almost completely bound to the b-file. After this my thoughts become organized and I carry out the winning plan quickly.} 60. Kg3 {60. Ke3 h5 61. Kd3 Rh2 62. Kc3 h4 63. Rb6+ ( 63. Rb3 hoping for Kc3-b4-a3-a2, freeing Rb3 to fight Black's king, doesn't work. 63...Rh3+ 64. Kxb2 Rxb3+ 65. Kxb3 h3) 63...Kg5 64. Rb8 Rf2 65. Rg8+ Kf4 66. Rf8+ Kg3 67. Rg8+ Kf3 68.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. d3 {I have used this for several years, to avoid both the Open Variation and the Marshall Gambit. It produces a slow maneuvering game where Black isn't in much danger if he knows how to play such positions.} 5...b5 6. Bb3 d6 7. c3 {After Black has defended Pe5 he threatens Nc6-a5xb3, so I give Bb3 room to retreat, and it might help prepare d3-d4 for some later time.} 7...Be7 8. Nbd2 Be6 {I hadn't faced this against a human opponent. It's quite effective.} 9. Nf1 O-O 10. Ng3 Na5 11. Bxe6 {11. Bc2} 11...fxe6 12. O-O {White hopes for Nf3-g5 and f2-f4 to begin opening lines toward Kg8. Black isn't prepared to counterattack in the center, so he must defend a bit first.} 12...h6! {12...c5 planning Na5-c6 (to defend Pe5) and d6-d5. 13. d4 exd4 14. cxd4 cxd4 15. e5 Nd5 16. Nxd4 might favor White, though Nd5 is very good at restricting Bc1.} 13. d4 {Forcing another way for Pf2 to be uncovered (made mobile). 13. Nh4 Nxe4 14. Ng6 Nxg3 15. Nxf8 Nxf1 16. Nxe6 Qd7 17. Qxf1 (17. Nc5? dxc5 18. Qxf1 Rd8) 17...Qxe6.} 13...exd4 14. Nxd4 Qd7 15. f4 Nc6 16. f5 Nxd4 17. Qxd4 {In retrospect it might have been better to keep Qd1 on the path to g4 & h5. 17. cxd4 exf5 18. exf5 c5 but, I wanted to keep my pawns back further from his. This would mean he'd have to advance further (using time) before being able to force any gain on the queen-side.} 17...e5 18. Qd1 c6 19. Qe2 Rfe8 20. Nh5 {It's unfortunate I had to help him free Be7, but I saw no better approach. Perhaps just to wait with 20. Bd2 would have given him the opportunity to go wrong with Be7-f8, but that wasn't so likely. He could have easily aimed for 20...d5 21. Rad1 Bc5+ 22. Kh1 a5.} 20...d5 21. Nxf6+ Bxf6 {Still, Bf6 is blocked by Pe5; and White isn't going to play e4xd5 to "help" him open lines further.} 22. Qg4 Qa7+ {22...d4 23. Bxh6 dxc3 24. bxc3 Qa7+ 25. Kh1 Rad8.} 23. Kh1 Kh8 24. Qg6 {Threatening Bxh6.} 24...Rf8 {He's suddenly playing very passive, so White has a slight initiative, if only psychological. This could change quickly.} 25. Bd2 {I didn't want to use Rf1-f3-h3 because that would leave f2 weak for a possible Black counter-attack. I intended Ra1-e1-e3-h3, with Bd2 holding together the queen-side.} 25...Qf7 26. Qg4 Rad8 {After this move it appeared he might play d5-d4, taking away square e3 from my rook, so I changed directions a bit - trying to bring Ra1 into play another way.} 27. a4 dxe4 28. Be3 Qc4 29. axb5 axb5 30. Rfe1 {This very passive looking move seemed necessary to stem Black's counter-attack possibilities. I was worried I had misjudged the position, and that I might be losing. But, there were enough intangibles to make it unclear.} 30...Ra8 {A cautious move, but not unwarranted. 30...Qb3 is safe enough, but if Qb3xb2 then the queen is two moves from returning to defend Kh8.} 31. Rad1 Rfd8 32. Qh5 {Now that Black has ventured away from his purely defensive stance I can renew the threat of Bxh6!.} 32...Rxd1 33. Rxd1 Rf8 34. h3 Qb3 35. Rd7 Kg8 36. Bxh6 Rf7 {Again he plays a solid defensive move. However, in the simplification it allows White should be better, since Black has doubled e-file pawns.} 37. Rxf7 Qxf7 38. Qxf7+ Kxf7 39. Be3 Bh4 40. Kg1 {40. g4? Kf6 and Black blockades the dark squares. 41. Kg2 Be1=.} 40...Bg3 {40...Kf6 41. g4 Bg3 42. b3 Be1 ( 42...Bf4? 43. Bb6 Ke7 44. Kf2 +/= ) 43. c4 Bc3 44. Kf1 Bd4 =.} 41. Bg5 {Draw agreed. White is better here, but it's not so easy to win when both players are in time pressure. He had planned 41...Bf4 and I was considering 42. h4, preventing Bf4-c1 (or d2) and keeping Black's king at bay. If I could have forced a favorable bishop trade it would be a win. Unfortunately, I didn't have sufficient time to work out all the subtleties. This game came back to haunt me (in a way), as my opponent survived to tie for first (with David Saville and me) and then go on to beat me in the final tie-break speed chess games, to win the title.} 1/2-1/2

{Notes by Mark Hathaway.} 
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 c6 {I've been experimenting with various ways to play against 2. Nf3. This unusual second move controls d5, but doesn't promote piece development. One of it's main aims is to free Qd8 to move off whichever diagonal Bc1 occupies. It avoids pin problems. There are many very good ways to meet 2. Nf3 and there are also some attractive, but very bad ways.} 3. e3 {Blocking-in Bc1 frees Black a bit to play more aggressively. At the time of this game I had been playing a very provocative system which I now essayed. It might not be best against this conservative White opening, but it did create some interesting positions.} 3...g6 4. Bd3 {4. Be2 or 4. c4} 4...Bg7 5. e4 {White's first "concession" is to spend this extra tempo, especially since he hasn't completed his other "normal" development.} 5...d6 6. h3 {6. Nc3 would be a Pirc Defense where Bd3 isn't the most common placement (though not unknown).} 6...Na6 7. c3 {7. Bxa6 Qa5+ and Black avoids doubled pawns, while gaining bishop for knight.} 7...Nc7 8. g4 {Against this Black has to be quite cautious. If he castles without any way to counter-attack in the center, then he may be doomed. White can attack on the g- and h-files quite quickly. 8. Bg5.} 8...b5 9. Bf4 Ne6 10. Be3 Bb7 11. a4 a6 12. b4?! {Where is White's king going to find shelter?} 12...O-O 13. a5 Nd7 14. Qd2 c5 15. Bc2 cxd4 16. cxd4 d5 {This will leave Bb7 blocked, but it forces a line opening somewhere (on the d-file or f-file), which Black has to use to attack Ke1.} 17. e5 f6 18. exf6 Rxf6 {Now it becomes something of a slugfest, where I think Black's king is a bit safer.} 19. Ng5 Nxg5 20. Bxg5 Re6+ 21. Kf1 Rc8 {This c-file activity comes to nothing. It only serves to deter White from playing Bg5-h6. 21...Nf6.} 22. Ra3 Rc4?! {Not seeing White's rejoinder.} 23. Bd3 Rc8 24. f4 {Further weakens Kf1. 24. h4.} 24...Nf6 25. f5 Ne4 26. Qe3 Qf8 27. Bf4 {Clearly better is something like 27. Kg2 gxf5 28. Rf1 Nxg5 29. Qxg5 Rf6 30. Rxf5 e6 31. Rxf6 Qxf6 32. Qe3 Rf8 33. Nd2 Qxd4 ( 33...e5 34. dxe5?? d4+ ) 34. Qxe6+ Kh8} 27...gxf5 28. g5 {Crumbling.} 28...Nxg5 29. Bxg5 Rxe3 30. Bxe3 {After that exchange play takes on a decidedly forced nature.} 30...f4 31. Bf2 Rc1+ 32. Be1 Bxd4 33. Nd2 {Here I had to think a while. It's not entirely clear how to bring the queen & Bb7 to more forceful positions. White threatens Nd2-b3, so Black has to either avoid that or find something very strong.} 33...e6 {This subtle move appears to block Bb7 worse than before, but it frees Qf8 to attack White's queen-side.} 34. Nb3 Rxe1+ {White resigns. This is a neat tactical finish. The likely continuation would have been 35. Kxe1 Qxb4+ 36. Ke2 f3+! ( forcing him away from Bd3 ) 37. Kxf3 Qxa3 38. Nxd4 Qxd3 easily winning.} 0-1

{Notes by Mark Hathaway.} 1. Nf3 {My intent was to secure a draw to at least tie for first in the tournament. Anything more than that would be gravy.} 1...Nf6 2. c4 c6 {I'd seen a couple of his earlier games (he played well) and he preferred a Pirc set-up. I decided to expand into the center with pawns, not really expecting 3. Nc3 d5 (Slav Defense).} 3. Nc3 g6 4. d4 Bg7 {4...d5 Slav Gruenfeld is good too.} 5. e4 {Now he is limited. One should also note that in a King's Indian Defense it's often better to have an option of Nb8-c6. So, I aimed to limit his Bc8 to leave him two queen-side minor pieces to sort out.} 5...d6 {5...d5 6. cxd5 cxd5 7. e5 is probably very good for White.} 6. h3 O-O 7. Be3 Qc7 8. Qd2 Re8 9. Bd3 {Aimed against an eventual e7-e5, d4-d5 and Black's f7-f5 counterplay. White has a very nice space advantage.} 9...Nbd7 10. O-O e5 11. d5 c5 12. a3 {+/- White has no desire to expand on the king-side, and Black isn't well situated to play there either. Bc8 is blocked and Re8 doesn't promote the f7-f5 "break".} 12...a6 13. b4 b6 14. Rfb1 {Drawn. White aims to double or triple on the b-file and then bring knights to a4 & possibly a5 to invade. But, Black offers a draw and that seals the tournament victory, so I accepted.} 1/2-1/2

It seemed that I am getting plenty of activity for my pieces and in this game it felt right psychologically for me to be the aggressor. I also considered 15 f5 here, which has its merits...it opens the f-file, but it also has the disadvantage of "clogging" the center a bit and depriving the Nc3 of a natural square and the Bd3 of a good diagonal.

{Notes by Ben Good}
1. e4 c6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Nf3 Bg4 {The Two Knight's variation of the Caro-Kann Defense.  This had some popularity through the 1940s.  After it was shown that 4...Bxf3 and 4...Bh5 both led to Black being at least equal, the variation lost its popularity.} 4. h3 Bh5 5. exd5 cxd5 6. d4 e6 7. Bb5+ Nc6 8. g4 Bg6 9. Ne5 Rc8 10. h4 {The main alternative is 10. Qe2, when Black usually plays a line involving a possible sacrifice of the  light-squared bishop.  10. Qe2 Bb4 11. h4 Ne7 12. h5 Be4 13. f3 O-O.  Most of the games I've seen have worked out well for Black.} 10...f6 11. Nxg6 hxg6 12. Qd3 Kf7 13. h5 gxh5 14. gxh5 f5 {Perhaps better is 14...Ne7 with the idea of placing the knight on f5.  I was worried about not being able to develop the dark-squared bishop.} 15. Bxc6 Rxc6 16. Qg3 Bd6!? {I would like to be able to claim that I knew I was going to lose two pawns and still be equal, but this is not the truth.  I simply overlooked that the e6 pawn was no longer guarded.} 17. Qg6+ Kf8 18. Qxe6 Bb4 19. Qxf5+ Nf6 {By this point, I realized this was no ordinary two-pawns-down position.  Black will exchange bishop for knight, and the Black knight will be much better than the White bishop.  Furthermore, the pawn on h5 is weak, and there is a possibility of winning a pawn on c3.} 20. Bd2 Qe8+ {An important move in that it eyes the h5 pawn, and aims to force a queen trade on e4.  Without the queens, Black's will have an easier time at regaining the pawns.} 21. Kf1 Bxc3 22. bxc3 Qe4 {Forcing the queen trade and winning the first pawn back on c3.} 23. Qxe4 Nxe4 24. Be1 Nxc3 25. Kg2 Ne4 {Perhaps even better is 25...Ne2, threatening most of White's pawns with one move.  26. Rb1 b6 27. c3 Rxh5 (27...Nxc3 28. Rc1 +-) 28. Rxh5 Nf4+ 29. Kf3 Nxh5 may be a little better for Black, but I doubt there is enough to play for a win.} 26. Rc1 Nf6 27. Bb4+ Kf7 28. Rhe1 Rc7 29. Re5 Rxh5 30. Rce1?! Rxe5? {For some reason, both of us ignored the c2 pawn.  I suppose we were both
over-rating the effect of a White rook going to e7.  30...Rxc2! 31. Re7+ Kg6 when 32. Rxb7? Rg5+ 33. Kf1 Ng4 34. Bd6 (to stop ...Nh2#) 34...Rxf2+
35. Kg1 Rxa2 is -+.  31. Re7+ Kg6 32. R1e6 Rf5 33. Be1 Rxa2 is somewhat better for Black.  Better moves for White are 30. f3, 30. Rxh5, and 30. c3.}
31. dxe5 Rc4 {31...Ne4 leads to complications after 32. e6+ Kxe6 33. f3 Rxc2+.  I chose the text move, seeing the position was a likely draw, and wanting to avoid further complications.  I didn't want to push my luck after surviving being two pawns down.  If White chooses to play on, one possible variation would be 32. exf6 Rxb4 33. fxg7 Kxg7 34. Re5 Ra4 35. Rxd5 Rxa2 36. Rd7+ Kf6 37. Rxb7 Rxc2 38. Rxa7 with a drawn R+P vs. R ending.  Another possible variation is 32. c3 Ne4 33. e6+ Ke8 34. Rh1 Nc5.} 1/2-1/2
