[Result "1/2-1/2"]
1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 c5 {So far so good -
white is slightly better but black is solid} 5. d4 cxd4
6. Nxd4 e5 $2 {Allows the white knight to find a solid
square at d6, better is simply Nc6 developing the knight}
7. Ndb5 O-O 8. Nd6 Nc6 9. Be3 b6 {Trying to provoke the
exchange of the knight} 10. Qd2 Ng4 11. Bg5 f6 12. Qd5+ Kh8
13. h3 Nh6 $2 $142 {Black would win a pawn with Nxf2. }
14. Bxh6 Bxh6 15. Nf7+ Rxf7 16. Qxf7 {White wins the
exchange but the attack is gone. Is the queen trapped?
Unfortunatly no.} Nd4 17. Bd3 {Not falling for the
easy-to-spot fork} Ne6 $2 {The queen trapping idea is still
not working} 18. Nd5 Bf8 19. Qxf6+ Qxf6 20. Nxf6 Bb4+
{Eliminating castling rights} 21. Kf1 Nf4 22. Rd1 d6
23. Nd5 Nxd3 {I might be down the exchange and a pawn, but
at least I have the bishop pair.} 24. Rxd3 Bc5 25. b4 Bd4
26. a4 a5 27. b5 Be6 {Nc7 will not work due to Bxc4 and the
pin on the rook} 28. Rf3 $2 {Hangs the c pawn and allows
back rank threads} Rc8 29. g4 Rxc4 30. Rf6 Bxd5 31. exd5
Bc5 {Creates a nice blokade from the a to e file} 32. Kg2
Rxa4 33. g5 Rb4 {Not the best position for the rook, since
it will block the bishop protecting the a pawn later on.
Rd4 would have given black a slight edge} 34. h4 a4 35. Rh3

Rxf8 38. Rxf8+ Kg7 39. Ra8 a3 40. Ra7+ Kg8 41. Kf3 Kh8 {My
plan at this point is to just wait while protecting the h7
pawn} 42. Ke2 Kg8 43. f3 Kh8 44. Kf1 Kg8 45. Kg2 Kh8
46. Kg3 Kg8 47. Kg4 Kh8 48. h5 Kg8 49. h6 {Have to watch
out for Ra8#} Bb4 50. Ra8+ Kf7 51. Ra7+ Kg8 52. Ra8+ {White
misses Rg7+ according to Houdini, but I am not sure if it
will lead to anything.} 1/2-1/2

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. c3 d6 4. Bd3 {Opted to avoid any book
confrontations with a really strong Sicilian player.
According to Houdini white is stil +0.25.} Nc6 5. Bc2 Nf6
6. d4 cxd4 7. cxd4 Be7 8. Be3 {Should have remembered
knights before bishops - Nc3 was better.} Qc7 9. Nc3 a6
10. h3 b5 11. a3 {Two passive moves by white, but at least
the limit blacks mobility. Castles would have been more
ambitius.} Bb7 12. d5 exd5 13. exd5 {This was very pleasent
for white. Blacks bishops have no squares and the d5 pawn
is not easy to get rid of.} Ne5 14. Bb3 $2 {Easily
countered by Nc4.} Nc4 15. Qe2 {Had no clue what to do and
thought for 10 minutes. Didn't do any good...} Nxe3

{Black is up a pawn, but it is very hard to convert.}
32. b4 h6 33. Nd2 Kf7 34. g4 Ke8 35. Ne4 {If white can
convert to an opposite color bishop ending it should be a
draw.} Be7 36. Kf1 Kd7 37. Ke2 Kc6 38. Kd2 Kb6 39. Kc3 a5
40. f3 Bc4 41. Nf2 {White has to watch out for the f and h
