1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ Bd7 4.Bxd7+ Qxd7 5.0-0 Nf6 6.Qe2 6.Re1 6.e5 alternatives 6...Nc6 7.c3 g6 7...e6 main 8.d4 cxd4 9.cxd4 Bg7 10.Nc3 0-0 11.h3 11.Rd1 11.d5 11...a6 12.d5 Nd8 splits the R connection
& gets in the way of other pieces ( the N never moves again in the rest of the
game) 12...Ne5 13.Nxe5 dxe5 obstructs the B on g7, but the other N does
get a good square on d6 12...Na5 is possible 13.Be3 13.b4 Rfc8 13...Nxe4 14.Qxe4 Bxc3 15.Rb1+- 14.Bd2 Nc4= 13...b5 14.b3 b4 15.Na4 Qb5 16.Qc2 Rac8 17.Qb1 Rfe8= Komodo10 13.a4 13.e5 dxe5 14.Nxe5 Qe8 15.Re1 e6 16.Qd1 Nd7 17.Bf4± Komodo10 13...Rc8 14.Be3 14.a5 Nh5 15.Na4 Qb5 16.Qxb5 axb5 17.Nb6 Rc2 18.Rb1 b4 18...f5 19.exf5 gxf5 20.Rd1 Re8 21.Bd2 Kf7 22.b4± 19.Re1 b3 20.g4 Nf6 21.Nd2 h5 22.f3±
Komodo10;Bl's pieces lack coordination 14...e5 aiming for a King's Indian
type position with a pawn storm against the Wh K 14...Rxc3 15.bxc3 Nxe4 16.Bd4 Nxc3 17.Qc4 Bxd4 18.Nxd4 Ne4 19.Rfe1 Nf6 20.Rab1 Re8 21.Ne2 Kg7 22.Nc3± Bl has 2 pawns for the exchange, but no space for his pieces 15.Nd2 15.a5 Komodo10, restrains the Bl Q side pawns 15...Ne8 16.Nc4 Qe7 16...Rc7 17.Nb6 17.Rac1 17...Rc7 18.Rac1 18.Qd2 f5 19.exf5 gxf5 20.f4± Komodo10 18...f5 19.f3 f4 19...Nf7 looks more flexible 20.a5 20.Qd2 Nf6 21.exf5 gxf5 22.Ne2 Kh8 23.Rxc7 Qxc7 24.Rc1 Qe7 20...Bh6 21.exf5 gxf5 22.Bxh6 Nxh6 23.Qd2 Qg7 24.f4± Komodo10 20.Bf2 g5 hoping to
break through with an eventual g4, but this takes time. Bl is restricted by
the inactivity of the d8 N & g7 B. The N can get to h6 to support g4 after h5,
but Wh has a very useful open c file and weak Bl Q side pawns 21.Na2 21.b4 alternative plan slightly preferred by Komodo10 h5 22.b5 g4 22...axb5 23.Nxb5+- 22...a5 23.Nc4+- 22...Nf7 23.bxa6 bxa6 24.Qxa6+- 23.bxa6 bxa6 24.Qxa6 gxf3 25.gxf3 Bf6 26.Kh2+- Komodo10; Wh has a winning a
pawn & more than enough protection for the K Bh4 27.Rg1+ Kh8 28.Qe2 21...Nf6 21...Nf7 22.Rxc7 Nxc7 23.Rc1 h5 24.Nb4 Nh6 25.Nd3 g4 26.hxg4 hxg4 27.fxg4 Bf6 28.Qc2 28.Nc5 dxc5 29.Bxc5 Qd8 30.Bxf8 Kxf8 31.g5 Bxg5 32.Qh5 Nf7 33.Qg4 Ne8 34.Nd7+ Kg7 35.Nc5 Qb6 36.Rc3 Ned6 37.Kh2 Qb4=
Komodo10 28...Ne8 29.Qc8 Bg5 30.Nd7 Rf7 31.Rc7 Qd8 32.Qxd8 Bxd8 33.Rxb7 Nxg4 34.b4± Komodo10 22.Rxc7 Qxc7 23.Rc1 Qe7 24.Nc8 24.b4 Nf7 25.b5 axb5 26.Qxb5 Rb8 27.Qe2 h5 28.Rc4 g4 29.Bh4± Komodo10 gxh3 30.gxh3 Kh8 31.Qc2 24...Qd7 25.Qc4 Rf7 26.Nb6 26.Qb4 Bf8 27.Nb6 Qe8 28.Rc8± 26...Qe7 27.Qb4 the trouble with positions like this is that Wh is
clearly superior,but its a question of deciding which of several options of
further invasion is the right one. Komodo10 offers various suggestions ,
occassionally shading over into a claim for a Wh win, but offers nothing at
all clearcut 27.Qc8 Ne8 28.Nb4 Bf6 29.Be1 h5 30.Nd3 Rg7 31.Nf2 Kh7 32.Ba5 Kh6 Komodo10 claims a win , but it looks as if a Bl collapse is still a
long way off 27...Qe8 anticipating Nc8 & hoping to get a bit of extra
space for his pieces, but the passed pawn on d5 could be very powerful 27...Bf8 28.Rc8 h5 29.Nc1 g4 30.Bh4± 28.Qxd6 Bf8 29.Qb8 Nd7 30.Nxd7 Rxd7 30...Qxd7 31.Bb6 31.Rc8 Be7 32.d6 Bf6 33.Bb6 Rf8 34.Nc3+- 31...Qxa4 32.Qxd8 Qxa2 33.Qxg5+ Rg7 34.Qxe5+- Wh has 2 running centre pawns 31.Rc8 Bd6 drives the Q away from the e5 pawn 32.Qa8 Kf7 32...Bc7 33.Nb4 Kf7 34.Nd3 Qe7 35.Nc5 Rd6 36.b4 and Wh can pick up the Q side pawns at leisure Rg6 37.a5 37.Nxb7 Nxb7 38.Qxb7 Bd6 39.Qxa6 Bxb4 40.Qc4 Bd6 41.a5 37...h6 38.Nd3 Rg8 39.Bc5 Qd7 40.Rxc7 Qxc7 41.d6 Ne6 42.Nxe5+ Kg7 43.Qxg8+ Kxg8 44.dxc7 Komodo10 33.Bb6 Be7 34.Nc1 Bf6 35.Nd3 Qe7 36.Nc5 Rd6
time for a longish think, as there are now several forcing continuations (a
dangerous positionas its easy to miscalculate when there are these several
possibilities) 37.Bc7 not the best as Wh had overlooked the reply ( missing
that the B interferes with the protection of the N) 37.Bxd8 Rxd8 38.Rxd8 38.Nxb7! Komodo10 Rxc8 39.Qxc8 Qf8 39...Qb4 40.Kh2 Qe1 looks like a
perpetual, but Komodo10 has a mate prepared 41.Nd6+ 41.Qg4 also ends the
perpetual as Kg6 42.Nd6 h5 43.Qf5+ Kg7 44.Qd7+ and Komodo10 now has a
mate in 10 Kh8 45.Qe8+ Kh7 46.Qxh5+ Kg7 47.Qf7+ Kh8 48.Qxf6+ Kh7 49.Qf7+ Kh8 50.Qh5+ Kg7 51.Nf5+ Kf6 52.Qh6+ Kf7 53.Qg7+ Ke8 54.Qe7# Komodo10 41...Kg7 42.Nf5+ Kf7 42...Kg6 43.Qe8# 43.Qe6+ Kf8 44.Qxf6+ Kg8 45.Nh6# 45.Ne7# 45.Qg7# 40.Qe6++- Komodo10 40.Qxf8+ Kxf8 41.b4 looks
much simpler 38...Qxd8 38...Qxc5+ Komodo10, gives better survival
chances 39.Kh2 Bxd8 40.Qxd8 b6 41.d6 though the d pawn should win Qf2 42.Qd7+ Kg8 43.Qe8+ Kg7 44.Qxe5+ Kh6 45.Qe6+ Kg7 46.Qd7+ Kg8 47.Qg4+- 39.Qxd8 39.Qxb7+ pm analysis also must be winning Be7 40.Nd7 Ke8 41.Nxe5+- 39...Bxd8 40.Nxb7 seen , as a simple 2 extra pawn ending 37.a5
keeps Bl tied up, eg Kg6 38.Rc7 Qf8 39.Nxb7 39.Nd7 Qh8 40.Bc5 Rxd7 41.Rxd7 Kh6 42.Bb6 39...Rxb6 40.axb6 Qb4 41.Qxa6 Qe1+ 42.Qf1+- Komodo10 37.Rc7 wins the Q, but may give Bl some piece activity, though this is
indeed the best Rxb6 38.Qxd8 eventually found by Iolo; Komodo10 concurs ( &
missed in Rudy's calculations) 38.Rxe7+ Bxe7 39.Qc8 must be winning,
though Wh didnt want to give Bl the counterplay from what was a position where
all of Bl's pieces are sitting in a huddle Rd6 39...Rxb2 40.Ne6 Nxe6 41.Qxe6+ Kf8 42.d6 and the d pawn decides 40.Qf5+ 40.Nxb7 40...Bf6 40...Ke8 41.Qxh7 41.Qxe5 41.Nd7 both variations are quite conclusive though 38...Rb4 39.Ne6! mating soon, Komodo10 37...Rxd5! Bl's best chance
of getting some activity 38.exd5 38.Bxd8 had to be played to keep a Wh
advantage Rxd8 39.Rxd8 39.Nxb7? Rd1+ 40.Kh2 g4 41.fxg4 Bh4-+
Komodo10 39...Qxc5+ 40.Kh2 Bxd8 41.Qxd8 Qe7 41...Qf2 42.Qxg5 Qxb2 43.Qh6 Kg8 44.Qe6+ Kf8 45.Qf5+ Kg7 46.Qd7+ Kg6 47.h4 Qd4 48.Qe8+ Kg7 49.Qe7+ Kg6 50.Qxb7 Qxa4 51.Qb6+ Kg7 52.Qc7+ Kf6 53.Qd6+ Kf7 54.Qxe5+-
But too complex for a human to foresee ( Komodo10) 38...Qxc5+ according
to Komodo10, its now a forced draw 39.Kh1? 39.Kf1 Qc1+ Wh now saw as a
perpetual, though Komodo10 gives Bl a definite advantage 40.Ke2 40.Kf2? g4-+ 40...Qxb2+ 40...Qc2+ 41.Ke1 Qc1+ perpetual 41.Kd1 41.Kd3? e4+ mating 42.fxe4 42.Kxe4 Qc2# 42.Kc4 Qc3# 42...Qc3+ 43.Ke2 Qc2+ 44.Ke1 Bc3+ 45.Kf1 Qd1+ 46.Kf2 Bd4# 41...Qa1+ 42.Ke2 42.Kc2 Qxa4+ 42...Qa2+ 43.Kf1 Qc4+ 44.Ke1 e4 45.Bxf4 Qd4 46.Rxd8 Qg1+ 47.Kd2 Qxg2+ 48.Ke1 Qg1+ 49.Kd2 Qf2+ 50.Kc1 Qe1+ 51.Kc2 Qc3+ 52.Kd1 Qxf3+ 53.Kc2 Qc3+ 54.Kd1 Qb3+ 55.Ke1 Qb1+ but this variation is going on too long- Komodo10 keeps
checking & finding that Bl is well ahead, eventually coming up with a Q check
that picks up the R on d8 39.Kh2 Qf2 40.Rxd8 Qg3+ 41.Kg1 Qe1+ perpetual
is correct 39...Qf2 39...Qc1+! 40.Kh2 g4 41.hxg4 Bh4 42.g5 Bg3+ 43.Kh3 Qh1+ 44.Kg4 Kg6 and theWh K gets mated with all his pices huddled
helplessly on the Q side 40.Ba5? & this 'saving' move , should actually
lose! 40.Rxd8 Qg3 41.Kg1 Qe1+ perpetual is best 40...Qf1+ 40...g4
also strong, Komodo10 initial choice 41.Bb6 41.Rc1 gxf3 42.Rg1 fxg2+ 43.Rxg2 Qf1+ 44.Kh2 f3 45.Rg1 Qe2+ 46.Kh1 f2 47.Bxd8 Qf3+ 48.Kh2 fxg1Q+ 49.Kxg1 Qg3+ 50.Kf1 Qxh3+ 51.Ke2 Qg2+ 52.Ke1 Qe4+ 53.Kf2 Qh4+ 54.Kg2 Bxd8-+ 41...Qxb6 42.hxg4 e4 43.g5 e3 44.gxf6 e2 45.Rc1 Qxf6 46.Qc8 e1Q+ 47.Rxe1 Qh4+ 48.Kg1 Qxe1+ 49.Kh2 and Bl is winning, though of course has a
perpetual in hand 41.Kh2 Qf2 41...g4! forces mate 42.hxg4 Bh4 43.g5 Bg3+ 44.Kh3 Qh1+ 45.Kg4 Kg6 46.Rxd8 Qh5# as in an earlier note 42.Rc1
trying to play safe, though the first move looked at is an easy win for Wh 42.Rxd8 Bxd8 43.Qxd8+- 42...Qg3+ 42...e4 at once is better, though Wh
holds comfortably 43.Qc8 exf3 44.Qg4 44.Rg1 Qg3+ 45.Kh1 f2 46.Rf1 Qd3 47.Qd7+ Kg6 48.Rxf2 also fine 43.Kh1 e4 a last try, there are several
winning moves 44.Bxd8? based on an illusion 44.Rf1 exf3 45.Rxf3+-
Iolo 44.Qc8 exf3 45.Rg1+- 44.Be1!+- the best move, trapping the
Q ( Rudy suddenly realised this on the way back from Tanygroes) 44...exf3 45.Qxb7+ Kg6 45...Kg8! is correct, forcing mate 46.Rg1 fxg2+ 47.Rxg2 Qxh3+ 48.Kg1 Bd4+ 49.Kf1 f3 50.Ke1 fxg2 Komodo10 46.d6? suposedly
guarding g2 46.Rc2 pm analysis fxg2+ 47.Rxg2 47.Kg1 Bd4+ 47...Qxh3+ 48.Kg1 Bd4+ 49.Kf1 f3 Komodo10 50.Qc6+ 50.Qxa6+ is curiously enough
listed as giving a Bl advantage of 250! 50...Kg7 51.Qc7+ Kh8 52.Qg3 fxg2+ 53.Qxg2 Qf5+ 54.Ke1 Qb1+ 55.Ke2 Qc2+ 56.Kf3 g4+ 57.Kg3 57.Qxg4 Qf2+ 58.Ke4 Qe3+ 59.Kf5 Qe5# 57...Be5+ 58.Kxg4 Qxg2+ mating soon 46...Qxg2# 0–1
