Bxd5} 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Qg4 O-O {(BvR) this Winawer vartiation of the French is a recurring theme between Patrick and myself.} 8.Bd3 f5 9.exf6 Rxf6 10.Qh5 g6 11.Qh6 Qf8 {(BvR) From this point, black has reached equality (mostly having a tiny advantage even) and the game became boring. I, being an optimist, wanted to win, whilst not realising that I was not getting anywhere for a long time. Meanwhile, Patrick tried for his usual draw, thereby preserving his energy.} 12.Qxf8+ Rxf8 13.Nf3 Kg7 14.Bg5 Nbc6 15.Bxe7 Nxe7 16.O-O Nc6 17.Rfe1 c4 $10 18.Bf1 Bd7 19.Ne5 Nxe5 20.Rxe5 Rae8 21.Rae1 Rf5 {Black offered a draw...(P.C.)} 22.R5e3 Rf6 23.g3 g5 24.Re5 Kg6 25.Bg2 Ref8 26.R1e2 g4! 27.h3 h5 28.h4 Rf5 29.R5e3 b6 {(BvR) I had designed a 'wonderful' but convoluted longterm plan to 'invite' Pat to make a mistake, and play b5. This would then make his bishop even worse, if I somehow could  convert to an endgame without rooks.So, here we go..} 30.Rd2 R8f7 31.Kf1 R5f6 32.Re1 Rf5 33.Rde2 R5f6 34.Rb1 Rf5 35.Rb4 R5f6 {(BvR) Oh deary me. Pat, playes dumb and does not fall for it. Ah well, I now retreat completely and apply plan B. Follow my rooks... Remember that I have all the time (literally) of the world, while Pat is falling asleep and shuffling his rook from f5 to f6 and back (13 times or there-abouts?).} 36.Rb1 Rf5 37.Rd1 R5f6 {fritz16 king f6 not rook and black is better jb} 38.Rdd2 Rf5 39.Re3 R5f6 40.Re5 Rf5 41.Rde2 Rxe5 42.Rxe5 Rf5 43.Re3 {No, I don't want to swapp this rook (yet).} Rf6 44.Ke1 Ba4 45.Re2 Bd7 46.Kd2 Rf5 47.Ke3 {(BvR) Finally, some action: I intend to play f3 and open the position. Patrick suddenly woke up from his lengthy hybernation and tried to re-activate his chess-brains again. Unfortunately for him, the damage was done and a serious error was the result. I have to confess that I did not look any further than 47..Rf6 or Bc6; 48.f3.It stll looks very drawish.} e5? {fritz16 king f7 not e5 remains equal jb} 48.Bxd5 $16 {(BvR) threatening Be4 or Bxc4 after 48...exd4; Kxd4;} b5? {(BvR) A much better chance to fight would occur after 48. exd4, 49.Kxd4,Kf6; 50.Bxc4, Ra4;.he didn,t see that bishop e4 your got to be kidding me and hes 1636 ha dont think so lol jb} 49.Be4 {#r}
