[Event "Rapid Play # 1"] [Site "Mechanics Institute"] [Date "2017-03-30"] [White "Rodney Jacobs"] [Black "Rob Loveband"] [WhiteElo "1695"] [BlackElo "1647"] [Result "1-0"] 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.g4 {The Bayonet attack. Played, apparently, by Fischer. Tal, Petrosian & Kasparov! It looks weird, and of course weakens White's kingside. But, with the positions arising from the Caro-Kann, Black can't expoit it. One theme is to eliminate Black's white Caro-Kann bishop early. Another is to exploit the resulting weakened white squares around White's king. Typically, Black's King's Bishop gets horribly hemmed in. (RJ)} Bg6 5.Nh3 e6 6.Nf4 Be4 7.f3 Qh4+ 8.Ke2 Bg6 9.Be3 {Still in a book line. (RJ)} Qd8 {Nd7 is the book move. Both my programs recommend c5.(RJ)} 10.h4 {Recommended by both my engines, which give White a .8 plus here. (RJ)} h6 11.Nxg6 fxg6 12.Qd3 Ne7 13.Nd2 Qb6 14.b3 {Tame. (RJ)} Na6 15.c4 Nb4? {c5! (RJ)} 16.Qb1? {A bit obsessed with keeping pressure on Black's g pawn. The engines indicate Qc3 is much stronger. (RJ)} Rc8 {Stockfish 7 gives c5! (RJ)} 17.a3 Na6 18.Kf2 {Stockfish 7 thinks this is best, and gives White a 2.5 advantage. (RJ)} Qd8 19.Bd3 Kf7 20.Qc2 {The engines think this is weak, as it allows Black to free himself by c5. They prefer c5. (RJ)} Qe8 {c5! (RJ)} 21.Rag1 {Again c5 is better. (RJ)} Nb8 22.b4 a6 23.Ke2 Nd7 24.f4 {All the way through here the engines say White should be playing c5. (RJ)} Nb6 25.c5 Nc4 26.Bxc4 dxc4 27.Nxc4 Nd5 28.Nd6+ {Strong, but f5! is better. (RJ)} Bxd6 29.cxd6 Rf8 30.h5 Kg8 31.Qd2 Qf7 32.Rf1 Nxe3 33.Qxe3 gxh5 34.gxh5 Qf5 35.Kd2 Rcd8 36.Qd3 Qxd3+ 37.Kxd3 Rf5 38.Ke3 Rd7 39.Rfg1 Kf8 40.Rg6 Rdf7 41.Rhg1 Ke8 42.Rxe6+ Kd7 43.Reg6 Rxh5 {Will complete when decipher writing.
