My opponent was an old master who had played the same openings for years. I wanted to get him outside his comfort zone. Normal play here is O-O-O and to play h4 followed by h5 to checkmate his king before he checkmates ours.} Qxd2+ 12. Kxd2 Nxe4+ 13. fxe4 Bxd4 14. Nxe7+ Kg7 15. c3 {We want our pawns on the color of his bishop and off the color of our bishop because pawns limit the movement of bishops. Also this move stops the pin of the b-pawn on the rook and attacks his bishop.} Be5 16. g3 {Freeing my rook from protecting the h pawn and keeping my pawn on a black square. Here I was content with taking a draw considering his pair of bishops and well placed black square bishop. Therefore, I could have taken his bishop with Nxc8 followed by Be5 pinning his b-pawn, placing my bishop on it's best square, and creating an opposite-colored bishops endgame which is very drawish.} Be6 {I can't take because my knight would be trapped} 17. Nd5 Rac8 18. Bb3 {He develops his rook on the semi-open file and we have to move our bishop away.} f5 19. exf5?! {Inaccuracy. The best move was Ne7. Notice that after exf5 I relinquish the file to my opponent and he threatens to win a pawn with Bxc3+ and also to play Rf2+ and win the b-pawn. I thought I had Bxb7, but he simply plays Rb8 and takes on b2 when the bishop moved. Afterward he doubles on the second rank and wins the rest of my pawns. I considered Ne7 for over 16 minutes here but did not like it because he can play 19... Bxb6 20. Nxc8 Bc4 21.b3 Ba6 22.Nxa7 Ra8 and he looks better. I missed 20. axb3 Rce8 21. Nd5 with a dominating knight and a semi-open file for the rook.} 19... Bxd5 20. Bxd5 Rxf5 21. c4 {With my bishop under threat, I wanted to secure the piece with. This opened up the diagonal for his bishop though and was a concession on my part. I should have played Kd3, getting my king centralized and away from the incoming check on f2. Then I could try to hold my pawns with Rab1. After 21,Kd3 Bxc3 does not work because 22. Be6! and all of black's pieces are hanging.} Rf2+ 22. Kd3 Rxb2 {This was my opponeny's biggest mistake during the game. He he had to play Rcf8 to get his last piece in the game. He could always take the pawn later. By taking the pawn now I get to trade down into a drawn ending. He could have kept the pressure instead.} 23. Rab1 {Rhb1 may have been slightly more accurate to prevent Rxa2 here} Rxb1 24. Rxb1 b6 25. Rf1 Rf8 26. Rxf8 Kxf8 27. Ke4 {Bishops of opposite color endgames are notoriouss draw and this endgame is no exception. I offered my opponent a draw and he said "I know it's a draw, but I'm up a pawn. Can't I play? I think he may have been a little upset abut drawing a lower rated player who was about 50 years younger.} Ke7 28. a4 Kf6 29. Bc6 h5 30. Be8 h4 31. gxh4 Bxh2 32. h5 g5 33. Bd7 Be5 34. Bg4 * [/pgn]
