[Event "Live Chess"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2018.08.05"] [White "an Internet Player - White"] [Black "vs. Jason - Black"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A51"] [TimeControl "1800"] [Termination "Jason won on time"] [CurrentPosition "8/8/8/8/2n2K1p/8/6k1/8 w - - 0 75"] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.e3 {not a very good move, but not terrible} e4 {not the best response - I am used to players accepting the Budapest Gambit, a better move is e5xd4} 4.a3 Be7 5.Nc3 O-O 6.Nge2 c6 7.Ng3 d5 8.c5 Ng4 9.Be2 f5 10.f4 exf3 11.Bxf3 Bg5 {[%clk 0:23:51]} 12.Nf1 {This is a mistake but I didn't catch it. The next few moves contain some tactical errors that we both miss.} Re8 13.Bxg4 fxg4 14.Bd2 Bf5 15.Qb3 b6 16.Na4 Na6 17.cxb6 Rb8 18.Qc3 axb6 19.b4 Qd7 20.Nb2 Nc7 21.a4 c5 22.Rc1 Ne6 23.dxc5 bxc5 24.Qa3 Nd4 25.Nd3 cxb4 26.Qb2 Nc6 27.Nc5 Qd6 28.Qa2 b3 29.Nxb3 d4 {This game began with both players having 30 minutes. At this point, he had slightly over 8 minutes left and I had slightly over 5 minutes left. Worried that he was going to accumulate a 2x time advantage in what would become a blitz-style game, I didn't fully check this move, which is a terrible blunder. I've now thrown away a very solid advantage acquired over the last 28 moves, and the computer considers the position drawish.} 30.Nxd4+ Be6 31.Nxe6 Rxe6 32.Qc4 {My opponent returns the favor, blundering and handing me back my advantage. He still had 7 minutes to my 5, and of course I can't know his psychology, but sometimes people get careless when they see their opponent is losing on time, even if they have plenty of time.} Ne5 33.Qc7 Qxc7 {Three and a half minutes left and I have to decide between trading queens and then going Nd3, or just Nd3 right away. I should have gone Nd3 right away, and if I'd had, say, 20 minutes, I easily could have calculated this. The difference once again is trading my very solid advantage for an equal position.} 34.Rxc7 Nd3+ 35.Ke2 Rd8 36.Rc2 Nf4+ 37.Kf2 Nd3+ {I show him by repeating the position I am willing to accept a draw, as a position repeated three times ends the game in a draw. At this point I had two minutes to his four.} 38.Ke2 Nf4+ 39.Kf2 Nd3+ 40.Kg3 {Here is another element of clock psychology - he had four minutes to my two, so he refused to accept the draw, thinking he would win on time. This move is a blunder, putting him one again into a losing position.} h5 41.h4 Bf6 42.Kh2 Be5+ 43.Ng3 g6 44.Rf1 Rf8 {With a minute and a half to go to his 2.5 minutes, I'm just playing as fast as I can here. This is a bad move, equalizing the position again. I've thrown away several advantages because of time in this game.} 45.Rxf8+ Kxf8 46.a5 Kf7 47.e4 Bd4 48.Bc3 Bxc3 49.Rxc3 Nf2 50.Ra3 Ra6 51.Ne2 {he had a bit of an advantage here but we both just have one minute each now and are moving very quickly. After this Ne2 move, Stockfish considers the position a dead draw.} Nxe4 52.Nd4 Nd6 53.Ra2 Nc4 54.Ne2 Rxa5 55.Rxa5 Nxa5 56.Nd4 Nc4 57.Kg1 Kf6 58.Kf2 Ke5 59.Nc6+ Ke4 60.Ne7 Nd2 61.Nxg6 Kf5 62.Ne7+ Kf4 63.Nc6 Ne4+ 64.Ke2 Kg3 65.Nd4 {The last twenty moves by both players have been played over the course of thirty seconds each, leaving us both with thirty seconds left. He's made a rookie endgame error, letting my king play pacman with his pawns. The game is over.} Kxg2 66.Ne6 Kg3 67.Ng7 Kxh4 68.Ke3 Nd6 69.Kf4 Nc4 70.Nf5+ Kh3 71.Ng3 h4 72.Nf1 g3 73.Ne3 g2 74.Nxg2 Kxg2 {I win, technically on time, with 15 seconds left on my clock.} 0-1
