I thought I'd try something a bit different from usual play. (R.C)} c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nf3 Be7 7.O-O O-O 8.Ne5 Bd7 9.Rf3 c4 10.Bc2 Qc7 11.Rh3 g6 {At this point, I realised that I needed my other pieces to help out in the attack (R.C)} 12.Qf3 b5 13.Nd2 b4 14.g4 {14.e4 instead, allowing access for my knight and bishop (R.C)} bxc3 15.bxc3 Rab8 16.g5 Nxe5 $10 {Fritz 11 saying its equal jb} 17.dxe5 Ne8 18.Rh6 {I thought about Rh5 instead going for a rook sacrifice, then doubling up behind with my queen but 18....Ng7 refutes this (R.C)} Bxg5 $16 {A nicely timed Bishop sacrifice. Whites' pawns are quite fragile, especially c3. Stockfish 9 says the bishop can be taken but I really disliked the resulting position (R.C) Fritz 11 saying you're better 1.04 jb I was pretty happy with this move -even if white takes the pawn, a bishop for 2 pawns and the resulting poor pawn structure for white seemed good to me (AY)} 19.Rh3 $19 {black is winning by Fritz 11 jb stockfish is rubbish} Ng7 $18 {1.65 now you are winning by Fritz 11 jb} 20.Ba3 Qa5 21.Bxf8 Qxc3! {Quite an annoying fork, also exploits white's overloaded queen (R.C)} 22.Rb1 $19 {Fritz 11 saying bad move 2.20 black is winning jb} Rxb1+ $10 {Would have been better to take the bishop on f8 with my rook I think (AY)} 23.Bxb1 Qxd2 24.Bxg7 Qe1+ $18 {Stockfish 9 gives white +4.6. Better was Be7, with an even game (R.C) stockfish is rubbish Fritz 11 saying you're winning by 3.40 Poor move by me - pretty much all over from here (AY)} 25.Qf1 Qc3 26.fxg5 Kxg7 27.Qf6+ Kg8 28.Rf3 Qe1+ 29.Rf1 Qxe3+ 30.Kh1 {And white has a weird fortress (as the pieces are quite far away from each other) which doesn't allow black any checks (R.C)} Qc5 (30...Be8 {The line Stockfish gives. Mate is unavoidable and this is the longest for black to survive (R.C)} 31.Qe7 Kg7 32.Qxe8 Qxg5 33.Rxf7+ Kh6 34.Qf8+ Kh5 35.Rxh7+ Kg4 36.Qf2 Qc1+ 37.Kg2 Qb2 38.Qxb2 c3 39.Qxc3 d4 40.Qg3#) 31.Qxf7+ Kh8 32.Qf6+ Kg8 33.Qd8+ Kg7 34.Qxd7+ Kg8 35.Qxe6+ Kg7 36.Rf7+ Kg8 37.Qe8+ Qf8 38.Qxf8# {Thanks Anna for the good game. Thanks Ruari, I enjoyed it!}
