1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 {I was expecting a Smith-Morra gambit, but an open Sicilian was ok as well. (R.C)} d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 {The Najdorf, a sharp line that has attacking chances for both sides, for black on the queenside especially. (R.C)} 6.Bg5 Nbd7 7.f4 Qa5 {I didn't want to commit to playing e6 with the pin but still find this a somewhat curious move. (R.C)} 8.Nb3 Qb6 9.Qd2 g6 10.O-O-O Bg7! 11.h4 {A bit aggressive but also has some venom in the idea (R.C)} O-O 12.h5! Nc5 13.Nxc5 dxc5 14.hxg6 $18 Nxe4 {I felt that I could get compensation for a pawn by exposing the white king and having control of the dark square weaknesses. The engine gives white a massive +6.1 in this position  (R.C)} 15.gxh7+? {And with this move, all of white's advantage is lost. gxf7 was winning. (R.C)} Kh8 $10 16.Qe3 Nxc3 17.bxc3 Bg4 18.Re1 Qa5! {I played this thinking that I was definitely winning no matter what white did but white found the best defence that continues the game. (R.C)} 19.Qxe7? {bailey see a pawn and takes it he s turn into a pat l mean patzer [jb]} Qa3+ 20.Kb1 Qxc3 21.Re5 f6 {Bf5 is better. (R.C)} 22.Qxc5 Qxc5 $37 23.Rxc5 fxg5 24.fxg5 {A piece for three pawns. Is this compensation enough though? (R.C) no its not bailey is losing [jb]} Rf5 25.Rxf5 Bxf5 26.Bd3 {bailey should know being a piece down you should never exchange piece;s but what else dose he have and that's fritz16 first pick on move 16 but why ?} Bxd3 27.cxd3 {Accuracy of play for white is 42per cent and black 30 per cent According to fritz16 good game by you both [jb]} Rd8 28.Kc2 Rd5 29.Re1 {Better was Rb1 but black is winning nonetheless. (R.C)} Rxg5 30.Kb3 {Not wanting Rxg2 to come with check. (R.C)} Rxg2 31.Re8+ Kxh7 32.Re7 Rb2+ 33.Ka3 Rb5 {Otherwise if say, Kg6, Rxg7+ wins both pieces and saves the game. (R.C)} 34.Rd7 Kg6 35.d4 Bf8+ 36.Ka4 Kf6 37.a3 b6 38.Rd8 Ra5+ 39.Kb3 Bxa3 {And thus the game is over. A fun game with scary attacks from both sides of the board. Thanks Rob (R.C)} {#R}
