1.g3 g6 2.c4 c5 3.Bg2 Bg7 4.Nc3 Nc6 5.Nf3 Nf6 6.O-O O-O 7.e3 {Unfortunately, in most symmetrical openings, white has the advantage so black has to come up with something (R.C)} d5 8.cxd5 Nxd5 {8... Bg4 also looked playable (R.C) Typo Ruari, as 8...dxc6 will win a piece (BvR)} 9.Nxd5 Qxd5 10.Nd4 Qd6 11.Nxc6 bxc6 12.Qa4 {Weirdly enough, in this position, Stockfish 8 gives -0.5, suggesting Rb8 (R.C)} Bd7 13.Rd1 Rfb8 14.Qc2 Rb6 15.d3 Rab8 16.Rb1 e5? 17.b3 Bg4 18.f3 Be6 19.Ba3 Bf8 20.Rbc1 Rxb3?! {Something just told me to go for it, following the logic of if I lose I lose. Given the relative speed that I played this and the time Bas spent on the next few moves, I can guess this came as a shock (R.C)} 21.axb3 Bxb3 22.Bxc5 {With this move, White blows his advantage (from +2.8 to 0 :stockfish) (R.C)} Qxc5 23.Qxc5 Bxc5 24.Re1 Bb4 25.Re2 a5 26.Rxc6 a4 27.Rb2 Ba3 28.Rb1 Bf8 29.f4 {Bas had 5 mins left compared to my 17+ mins (R.C)} exf4 30.gxf4 a3?! {Allowing white to use the exchange advantage with 31. Ra6} 31.Bd5?? a2?? {Blowing most of blacks' advantage, from -6.9 to -0.7. but Bas resigned anyway (R.C)} (31...Bxd5 32.Rxb8 Bxc6) {#R}
