1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bg5 O-O 6.e3 Nc6 7.Bd3 Bd7 8.a3 $146 h6 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.O-O Re8? 11.cxd5 $16 exd5 12.Nxd5 Be6 13.Nxf6+ $18 {Fritz 11 is saying white is winning by +-(1.73) jb} Qxf6 14.Rc1 Bd5 15.Be2 Rac8 16.b4 Ne7 17.Ne5 Qe6 18.Qd3 Ng6 {I was happy when Tom Made this move - I thought if the queens came off (which they did) I was going into the endgame a pawn up, and leaving him with doubled pawns on the g file. Even if he chose not to swap queens off his pawn structure was still going to be troublesome.AY} 19.Nxg6 Qxg6 20.Qxg6 fxg6 21.Bg4 Be6 22.Bxe6+ Rxe6 23.Rfe1 c6 24.f4 Rce8 25.Kf2 Kf7 26.b5 $18 {Not sure about this move- my plan was to try and get my C roook more active behind Tom’s pieces - it worked, but I am not sure that there isn’t a better move here. AY its a good move Fritz 11 is saying you're winning by+-(1.73)jb (bas) Is just giving a pawn away, for no purpose. 26.b5 is a distraction from the main plan, which is to build up the pawn-centre and create a passed pawn.For instance via Kf3 and e4, also reducing black's space.} cxb5 27.Rc7+ R8e7 28.Rxe7+ Kxe7 29.d5 {Wondered about this move, but think it is OK.AY} Rb6 30.e4 a5 31.e5 Ra6? {Tom you should have push b4 jb} 32.Rc1! {(bas) a good and sensible move} Kd7 33.Ke3 b4 34.axb4 {At this stage I calculated I could get my rook to c5 ( not the best move though I dont think) and have time to get my king to b1 to stop the pawn from queening. AY} axb4 35.Rc5 {(bas) after 35.Rb1 instead, black will loose his b-pawn eg.35...Rb6; 36.Rb3!,,  and white's king walks up to c4 and wins the black pawn.} Rb6 {Needs to protect the pawn, but then ties his roook up.AY} 36.Kd2 b3? 37.Kc1 b2+? 38.Kb1 g5 39.f5 h5 {Tom offered a draw here - i am getting low on time  (10min vs about an hour)but i thought I was clearly winning with connected passed pawns, so played on. AY} 40.d6! Rc6 41.Rb5 b6 42.Kxb2 Rc5 43.Rxc5 {Again I calculated that I could get my king to the centre to block the resulting pawn, and that Tom really couldn’t move any of his pieces from then on - if he pushed the g pawn, his king couldn’t cover the queening threat there as well as the pawn on d6. AY} bxc5 44.Kc3 Kc6 45.Kc4 {I dont hthink Tom has any real choices here - I dont think anything can stop one of my pawns queening.AY} Kb6 46.f6 {Thanks Tom for a great game - I really had to work very hard! Anna hahaha really lol jb} {#r}
