1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Bf5 5.Ng3 Bg6 6.Nf3 e6 7.h4 h6 8.h5 Bh7 9.Bd3 Bxd3 10.Qxd3 Nf6 {Still following the main line. But Nbd7 is more usual. (RJ)} 11.Bd2 Qb6 {Rare, according to Chessbase. More usual is, again Nbd7. (RJ)} 12.O-O-O {Book. (RJ)} Nbd7 13.Kb1 $146 {Also not usually played. Ne5, Ne4 and c4 are, in that order, the most popular moves. (RJ)} O-O-O {Taking it completely out of book. Be7 is the move given by Chessbase. (RJ)} 14.Qe2 Ba3 {I did not think that this was a great move here, not believing that this would ultimately get Black anywhere. But both my programs say it's best. (RJ)} 15.Bc1 Nd5 {Threatening Nc6. Reza plays the whole game very aggressively, continually creating issues for me to deal with. (RJ)} 16.Qd3 {The alternative was Ka1. (RJ)} Be7 17.Rhe1 {Both Stockfish 7 and Deep Shredder point out that the much stronger c4! gives White an edge. (RJ)} Rhe8 {Nb4 or c5 were better. (RJ)} 18.Qc4 {Again c4 is stronger. it's about even at this point.} Bb4 $10 19.Bd2 Ba3 20.b3 {At the time I was confident that, while potentially weakening the black squares around my king, Black would not be able to make anything of it. Both my engines indicate b3 is best. (RJ) Black eventually did make something out of it! But I clearly went astray later. (RJ)} N7f6 {The programs don't like this, preferring the aggressive a5. (RJ)} 21.Ne5 Re7 22.Qa4 {Threatening thke bishop as well as Ba5. (RJ)} Bb4 23.Nc4 {The engines like Bxb4 a little better. (RJ)} Qb5 {Daring White to take the a pawn. I wasn't game, and Reza also had felt White couldn't. But both my programs say he can and should, giving  24. Qxa7  b6  25. Qa8ch  wth a perpetual. (RJ)} 24.Qxb5 cxb5 {Now the engines give Black a .5 advantage. (RJ.} 25.Bxb4 Nxb4 26.Ne3 Rc7 27.Kb2 Nbd5 28.Nxd5 Rxd5 29.Re5 Rcd7 30.Rd3 $19 {Rxd5. (RJ)} a6 $15 {Rxd4} 31.Kc3 a5 32.Rxd5 Nxd5+ 33.Kd2 Nf4 34.Rc3+ Rc7 $10 {This largely dissipates Black's advantage. Kd8! is the move. (RJ)} 35.Rf3 $15 {This hands it back again. 35. Re3! and if ....Nxg2  36. Re4 embarrassing the knight. (RJ)} Nxg2 $15 36.Ne4 {c3 is a bit better. (RJ)} Rd7 $15 {The engines show that Rxc2! (as indicated by Reza after the game) was a little better. (RJ)} 37.c3 $15 f5 $15 {Hands the initiative to White. f6 or Nh4 are necessary. (RJ). Nc5 Fritz 11 0.53 jb} 38.Nc5 Re7 39.Ke2 $10 {Nd3! and White has an advantage of about 1, according to both my programs. After Ke2 it's even.
 But, due to having to deal with the various problems set by Reza, I only now have 6 minutes left to his 27.(RJ) Fritz 11 equal by -0.05} e5 40.Kf1 Nf4 41.dxe5 $10 {Fritz 11 equal -0.14 jb} Rxe5 42.Nxb7 {Best. (RJ)} Nxh5 43.Rxf5 $19 {Expecting 43......Rxf5 Nd6ch, and overlooking Black's clever riposte. Simply Nd6 and it's even.(RJ) Fritz 11 -7.91 jb Nd6+ Kd7 Nf5 is equal by Fritz 11 jb} Ng3+!! 44.Kg2 Nxf5 {Overall, due to aggressive opening play, Reza had the running of the game, with me trying to stay in it. Due to an inaccuracy on move 27 he handed a slight initiative to me, which I quickly let dissipate. Finally, in time trouble, I made a bad error, overlooking a smart zwischenzug which 
 immediately won the game. (RJ) stockfish fish is rubbish I'm going to get Fritz 16 its more strong} {#R}
