[Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "2007.07.15"] [Round "10"] [White "Mrs. chungle"] [Black "dedacted"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "A80"] [WhiteElo "1566"] [BlackElo "1883"] [Annotator "Mrs. chungle"] [PlyCount "134"] 1. d4 f5 2. Bg5 {Bogoljubov's Anti-Dutch Line - the idea is to prevent Black from playing any ...e6 lines} g6 3. e4 $6 {not the right time for this. I got my lines thoroughly confused - I should have played 3Nc3 first} fxe4 4. Nc3 d5 5. Bb5+ (5. Nge2 {and if} Bg4 {then} 6. h3 {no if the Bishop retreats Knight goes to f4 or if} Bxe2 7. Bxe2 {and try to exploit Black's light sqaures. White has the Bishop pair.}) 5... c6 6. Be2 {wasting time - my opponent is helped to play a move he likely would have at some point anyway. For what it's worth, Black can't play the QN to c6 and B has lost a single square to a pawn.} Bg7 7. Qd2 {intending castling long and Bh6} Nd7 {it's safe to play this as the d5 pawn is defended by c6} 8. Bg4 Ndf6 9. Bh3 {if we're going to trade Bishops then I want it to be beneficial to me -- it could help me develop my KN} Bg4 $5 {a collinear move - [Nunn. pg. 56, Secrets of Practical Chess] This is a nice looking move, but does it do anything? 1. it hits no target in addition to the Bh3 and 2. The Bishop is not planing a new position on a new diagonal} 10. f3 Bxh3 (10... exf3 11. gxf3) 11. Nxh3 {intending Nf4} Qd7 {intending 12. ...exf3 the g pawn cannot retake or the Queen takes the Knight on h3 -- also getting ready to castle long} 12. O-O-O {at this point I think I was going to play} (12. Nf4 h6 13. Nxg6 Rh7 14. Bf4 {but I brushed my King on the way by - so I moved it because in a tournament the rule is "touch-move". My opponent was kind about it, but it seemed right to live by the rule. Luckily, it turned out okay. Maybe it was better than what I wanted to play.}) 12... exf3 $1 {Black wins a pawn} 13. Rhe1 h6 14. Bf4 g5 15. Be5 O-O-O 16. Ng1 fxg2 {Black takes another pawn} 17. Qxg2 Nh5 {he's had enough of my Bishop} 18. Bxg7 Nxg7 19. Nf3 {prevents ...h5} Nf6 {first time this Knight has moved} 20. Ne5 $1 Qe8 (20... Qe6 $4 21. Ng6 {hits the Queen and threatens Nf7 forking the Rooks}) 21. h4 {trying to win back the pawn} Nf5 22. hxg5 Rg8 $2 {pins the pawn} ({Why not} 22... hxg5 23. Qxg5 Qh5 {White is down a pawn and may not want to trade Queens} (23... Rh5 $5 {seems okay too. We tried out continuations involving this move - seemed strong})) 23. g6 $1 { a passed pawn} e6 {clears the 7th rank for defence} 24. Rd3 {Keep an eye on d4} Nd7 {good idea, the Knight on e5 is a force} 25. Rg1 {to add to defence of g6 when the Knight is exchanged off} Nxe5 26. dxe5 Rd7 27. Ne2 Rdg7 28. Nf4 c5 { Black tries to get something going on the Q-side} 29. Qg4 {intending Nxd5, ... exd5 Qxf5+} c4 30. Ra3 Kb8 31. Qg2 Qc6 32. Qf2 {a7} b5 {Rg7 holds a7} 33. Nh5 Rb7 (33... Rxg6 34. Qxa7+ Kc8 35.

Nf6 and forks the Rooks but that doesn't make any sense upon writing this up. Mrs. chungle may have been hallucinating around here.}) 43. Nxg7 Qa6 $1 {This move surprised me(Mrs chungle) My first instinct was to protect the a-pawn with my King -- not a good idea!} 44. e6 (44. Kb1 Qa3) 44... Qa3+ 45.
