1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.b3 Bf5 4.Nbd2 e6 5.e3 Bd6 6.Be2 Nbd7 7.Bb2 O-O 8.O-O h6 9.Ne5 c5 10.f4 cxd4 11.exd4 Rc8 12.Rc1 Qb6 13.Nxd7 Nxd7 14.c4 Qd8 15.cxd5 Rxc1 16.Bxc1 exd5 17.g4 Be4 18.Nxe4 dxe4 19.g5 hxg5 20.fxg5 $10 Nb6 21.a4 Nd5 22.Bc4 Bc7 $14 23.Qh5 $10 g6 24.Qh6 Qd7 25.Qh4 {. .} Kg7 $16 {(bas) in a tense but equal position just gives an important pawn away, for no reason} 26.Qh6+ Kg8 27.Qh4 Kg7 28.Qxe4 Nc3 29.Qf3 Qxd4+ $18 30.Be3 Qe5 31.Qh3 $10 {(bas) positions are very equal, but Jamie could have gone for more after 31.Qf6+, Qxf6; 32.gxf6, Kg8; 33.Bxa7} Qxe3+ $18 {(bas) ? But now, white's endgame will be very winnable all of a sudden.your wrong again bas white is clearly winning by 2.12 .(bas) Is 'very' winnable' really wrong compared to 'clearly' winning, because it means < 2.12, jb ?} 32.Qxe3 Bb6 33.Qxb6 axb6 34.Rf6? {(bas) immediately, your position becomes less 'winnable', jb.Dropping  from +2.1 to +1.4, according to my engine. Because, Rob could have played, 34...b4 After, you would have to work really hard to win the endgame. What I want to say is that a 'clear' win depends on how strong the player is who has the better position. When you are up +3 against the worldchampionion, your win is definitely not clear/certain} Ne4? 35.Rxb6 Rb8 36.Bd5 Nc5 {(bas) I have the feeling that 36...Nxg5 instead would give black some drawing chances, perhaps? jb. Needs ng5 is better then nc5 but he is still losing by 2.12 how is he going to stop my pawns on the queens side, im winning by [3.65] (bas) I have now checked my engine. It says that 36.Nxg5 gives white +3.1 advantage against 36...Nc5 +4.5. Clearly, my hunch was a better move to try and survive, and hoping for a mistake.} 37.a5 Kf8 38.b4 Ne6 $18 {jb.Rd8 is not a good move bas im still winning by 5.81 any move by black is clearly losing.  how is he going stop my pawns on the queen side  -jb
(bas) of course it is not a good move, simply because there is none, and Rob is cactus. But what I am saying is that Rd8 (+6.2) is a much better move than Ne6 (+10.3), according to my engine.} 39.Bxe6 fxe6 40.Rxe6 Kf7 41.Rb6 {(bas) a solid and good win, Jamie. Well played thinks bas but you better get a new chess program like l did bas but im still going to get moer chess programs l think there is stronger then fritz16
My program is good enough for me, jb, but I need to let it run longer to be more accurate at each move. Many of my comments, are not based on using my chess program or using the chess board, and I may then talk/write rubbish.
After having another/better look at your game against Rob, I am even more impressed about your handling of it. From now on, you should be confident that you can beat anybody in the club, including myself (hopefully not!), I believe. You definitely have the skills. And, by the way, thanks for helping me to catch up on Rob in the tournament !} {#r}
