[Event "Teters 2016"] [Site "BCC"] [Date "2016-09-01"] [White "Rodney Jacobs"] [Black "Harrison Harrison"] [WhiteElo "1659"] [BlackElo "1706"] [Result "1-0"] 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nd7 3.f4 e6 {(RJ) e5 is more usual.} 4.Nf3 Nb6 {(RJ) b6 is more often played. The queens knight doesn't seem well-placed here and Black's white squared bishop is hemmed in.} 5.Be2 h6 6.O-O Nf6 7.Nc3 Be7 8.b3 {(RJ) Both my engines give 21. e5 Nd5 22. Ne4.} O-O 9.Bb2 Ng4 {(RJ) I thought this had to be weak, moving a piece twice in the opening, to make a threat which can easily be met by a developing move. But Harrison can always make something happen out of nowhere!} 10.Qd2 {(RJ) Stockfish 7 likes Qd3 better.} d5 {(RJ) The engines prefer f5.} 11.h3 dxe4 12.Nxe4 Nf6 13.Bd3 {(RJ) I thought about 13. Nxf5 Bxf6 13. c4, but thought I would just be helping Black solve the problem of his inactive black bishop. However the engines prefer that line.} c5? {(RJ) Assuming 14. dc Nxe4 15. Bxe4 Bxc5, but overlooking the simple knight capture.} 14.Nxc5 Bxc5? {(RJ) Nbd7 or Qc7 would be OK.} 15.dxc5 Nbd5 16.Rad1 {(RJ) Deep Shredder regards this as a mistake, but Stockfish 7 likes it. Both say Be5 is better.} Nh5 {(RJ) The engines say this is a mistake, due to White's possible reply.} 17.Ne5? {(RJ) Missing c4! The threat of the discovered check is very strong.} Qh4 {(RJ) I've got all my pieces developed, most pointing at Black's king; his two rooks and white-squared bishop are all horribly undeveloped. I thought surely this move is ridiculous! But again Harrison conjures up threats. The programs like this.} 18.Bc1 {(RJ) After 10 minutes thought. Awkwardly defending the f pawn. The engines think this is OK. Stockfish 7 prefers Rf3, letting Black have the pawn if he wants it, in return for being able to double rooks, with pressure on Black's own f pawn. Deep Shredder goes for Bg6! - a move which I glanced at but could not see through the complications arising. It gives 18. Bg6 f6 19. Nf3 Qg3 20, Bxh5 Nxf4 21. Bg4 f5 22. Qf2 Qxf2ch 23. Rxf2 fg 24. hg Ng6 25. g5 h5 26. c4 a5} Qe7 19.Kh2 {(RJ) The computer recommends defending the c pawn by b4 or Qa5. I was quite happy to let it go, feeling I could make something of my better development and the disjointed nature of those of the Black pieces which are developed.} Qxc5 {(RJ) At this point I had used 52 minutes, Harrison 1 minute! When someone is moving so quickly it's very hard to take your time and concentrate, and not fall into the trap of copying your opponent's rhythm and rushing your moves.} 20.g4 {(RJ) Picked by both my engines.} Nhf6 {(RJ) Only now did Harrison start to use any time (8 minutes.) A disadvantage of moving quickly is that, when you slow down, your opponent knows you think you are in trouble!.} 21.g5 {(RJ) But the computers don't like this, preferring c4, with a view to Bc2 and Qd3, with mating threats.} hxg5 22.fxg5 Nh5 {(RJ) Probably Ne7 was better.} 23.Rde1 b6 24.Bb2 {(RJ) Stockfish 7 recommends Qf2. It seems odd that it doesn't think White is better off preserving his queen for a kingside attack.} Qd6? {(RJ) Counting on embarrassing the knight with an awkward pin. But the knight is well protected and can't be chased away by a pawn; and Black now has his own problem with a pin.} 25.Be2 {(RJ) Black is now in trouble.} g6 26.Bxh5 gxh5 27.c4 {(RJ) Missing g6!! after which Stockfish proudly announces mate in 11!} Qb4 28.Qd4 Ba6? {(RJ) Qc5 holds out for a while.} 29.Nxf7 e5 30.Qxd5? {(RJ) Nh6 check was a quicker finish. Being short on time, I was keen to keep it very simple.} Qxe1 31.Rxe1 Rxf7 32.g6 Rf8 33.gxf7+ Kg7 34.Bxe5+ Kh7 35.Qe4+ Kh6 36.Rg1 Rxf7 37.Qg6# {haha see u should have played the caro kann}
