1. Nf3 Nf6 2. d4 c5 3. Bg5!? Ne4 3...e6 is more usual here I think, but I was trying to steer the game into sharper territory 4. Be3 d5 5. c3?! Im not too sure about this move. I was expecting 5. dxc5 immediately, which would seem fit more with the Be3 idea. 5... Nc6 6. dxc5 e5 7. Qa4 Qc7 ( 7... Nxc5 8. Bxc5 Bxc5 9. Nxe5 I saw this far as wasnt too happy with the position, so avoided it. Although 9...Qb6 looks very strong and I totally missed this. ) 8. b4 Bd7 9. Qb3 Be6 10. Qb2!? Before Qb2 I thought I was just a pawn down for nothing, so was actually angling for a draw with a repetition of bishop moves. 10... Be7 11. g3 O-O 12. Bg2 f5 13. Bd2 Bf6 14. O-O Rad8 The computer has been suggesting I play ...b6 for the last few moves. It would certainly open lines and I think thats the right approach in this game. I need to forget about my pawn deficit and go after the king. 15. Rd1 d4 16. Rc1 I was quite happy to see the rook move for a second time, as I felt it had almost given me another move for free 16... Nxd2 17. Nfxd2 e4 18. Nb3 Bg5 19. Re1 And the rook moves again, while my bishop takes up a decent diagonal 19... d3 19...f4 was better I think, getting straight to the point. 20. exd3 Rxd3 21. Bf1 Ne5! I dont mind sacrificing the exchange here, as the knight will be a monster on d3. I think I was lucky that white didnt play b4-b5 earlier to push the knight to a bad square. 22. Be2 f4 23. Nd4 Bd5? ( 23... fxg3 24. fxg3 Qf7 is winning comfortably ) ( 23... fxg3 24. Nxe6 gxf2+ Would also be winning for Black ) 24. Rd1? According to the silicon beast, this is the final mistake. White had to play 24. Bxd3. ( 24. Bxd3 Nxd3 25. Qe2 fxg3 26. fxg3 Nxe1 27. Qxe1 e3 Black still has a big advantage here ) 24... fxg3 25. hxg3 Nc4 26. Qc2 Rxg3+! The breakthough. 27. fxg3 Qxg3+ 28. Kh1 Qh3+ ( 28... Rf2 Also works just as well ) 29. Kg1 Be3# 0-1
