1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 e6 3.b3 Nf6 4.g3 c6 5.Bg2 Bc5 6.O-O O-O 7.Bb2 Nbd7 {Both my engines like b5 here. This would gain Black more space, ask some awkward questions of White's c pawn and make Black's task of developing his Queen's bishop much easier. (RJ)} 8.e3 {A bit timid, my programs prefer the bold d4. (RJ)} Ne4? {Breaking the maxim of not moving a piece twice on the opening, and pointless as it is just chased back. The engines again like b5. (RJ)} 9.d3 Nef6 10.Nbd2 Re8 11.Qc2 Bd6 12.e4 e5 13.exd5 cxd5 14.d4 {cd is better. (RJ)} e4 15.Nh4 e3 {I was very confident about this, but it's an error. The engines like Nf8. (RJ)} 16.fxe3 Ng4 17.Nf5 Ndf6 {My intended continuation, which I felt was very strong, in view of the 'obvious' fact that Nxd6 loses to Nxe3. (RJ)} 18.Rfe1? {But White can, and should play 18. Nxd6. The response .....18.....Nxe3 can be met by 19. Qc3! And if......19. Qxd3 (best)  20. Rxf6! (best) Qxf6  21. Re1. :Pretty hard for a human to pick up in a rapid game. (RJ)} Bxf5 {Bb4 is stronger. (RJ)} 19.Qxf5 Nxe3 20.Qd3 Nxg2 21.Kxg2 Qd7 22.Nf3 Qg4 {Probably Rad8, bringing Black's last undeveloped piece into play, is more solid. (RJ)} 23.Ne5 Qh5 24.h3 Rad8 25.Re3 {Qf3 is better. (RJ)} dxc4 26.Nxc4 Rxe3 27.Qxe3 Re8 28.Qf3?? {Overlooking a trick. Ne5 is necessary. After that, Stockfish 9 gives Black a -.45 advantage and Deep Shredder -.2. (RJ)} Re2+ {#R}
