1.Nc3 d6 2.e3 g6 3.Nce2 Bg7 4.Ng3 Nf6 5.c3 O-O 6.d4 c5 7.d5 a6 8.a4 e6 9.e4 exd5 10.exd5 Qe7+ 11.Be2 b6 12.Nf3 Bb7 13.c4 Re8 14.O-O Qc7 15.Bf4 Ne4 16.Qc2 Nxg3 17.Bxg3 Nd7 18.Rfe1 Nf6 19.Nd2 Nh5 {(bas) Both players have managed the opening phase sensibly, albeit conservatively. 'Even' Harrison, known for his extravagant opening experiments. But here Caitlin makes a poor decision, inviting white to swap his weak bishop against the knight, thereby weakening her king-side protection and creating a double pawn.} 20.Bxh5 gxh5 21.Ne4 Rad8 22.Bh4 Rc8 23.Bf6? {(bas) after being very comfortable (winning) Harrison blunders badly, and it turns the table in Caitlin's (black) favour. After 23.Nf6+, Bxf6; 24.Bxf6, white would have had all the time in the world to checkmate black along the g-file, as her queen remains stuck (after h3), and  there are no defenders left to protect the black king.} Rxe4! {Of course.} 24.Rxe4 Bxf6 {C.B: Black offered a draw. and if it was pat he would have said yes haha lol [jb]} 25.Qe2 Qd7 26.Qxh5 Bxb2 27.Rae1 Bf6 28.Rg4+ Bg7 29.Rge4 {(bas) after 29.Qg5, f6; 30.Qxg7, Qxg7; 31.Rxg7, Kxg7; 32.Re7+, Kg6; 33.Rxb7, Re8; 34.f3, Re1+; 35.Kf2, Rc1;36. Rxb6, Rxc4; 37.Rxa4, the endgame looks better for black} Bf6 {C.B: Black offered another draw} 30.Qh6 Bg7 31.Qh4 {-2,  advantage for black, now 31....Rf8} Qf5? 32.Re7 Ba8 33.Re8+ Bf8 34.g4 Rxe8 35.Rxe8 Qb1+ 36.Kg2 Bxd5+ 37.cxd5 {+1 advantage for white} Qg6 38.h3 f6 39.Re6 Qg5?! {not the best, Kg7} 40.Qg3?? {(bas) the last part of the game was complicated and well played by both sides, except for white's last mistake. White would probably win (?) after 40.Qxg5, 41.Re8 and 42.Ra8} Qxd5+ {(bas) an exciting game, for sure. A great and fighting start, Caitlin. Your debut in the Championship group!} {#R}
